I have this up on a photo board, but figured I'd share with you guys too. I bought a small (but powerful) used camera so that I would have something I could more easily take on vacation. I took it outside this afternoon to play with one of the functions I thought was kind of cool ("spot color"), when a bee landed on the flower. I cropped it down a LOT. Of course, I wish it was full color now, but one of those "lessons learned". I did put it on full-auto after, but the focus was not on the bee so it turned out blurry. Anyway, I still like the photo and have decided it was a happy accident--if I had gone out trying to shoot a bee, it wouldn't have worked out as well.  Camera used: Fujifilm FinePix F900EXR 16MP Digital Camera The big selling point for this camera was that it takes RAW photos in addition to JPEG. Of course, I found out when I went to work with this one that it doesn't do a RAW version when you're playing with special effects. |

And trying my hand at coloring it in with Photoshop elements (since the color was gone for good). Need more practice, and a real mouse or stylus, but didn't turn out too bad...  |
