Every time I use the "Food" scene mode, I keep hoping that the "smell" will be recorded, too! Not so, so far.

Really nice shot, photopop!
I've even seen a "food' mode on a camera.
Not sure what that's about at all!
I use only A, S, & M modes 'cause I want to do the thinking.

Whatever you used, nice shot. I use auto in situations where I need to take the photo NOW and I'm in low light. The rest of the time I'm in M, A or S.

I only use the "A" mode for taking pics of our local politicians. Use your imagination to figure out what the "A" stands for. :lol: :roll: :thumbup:

I also use M,A & S as I am still new at this. Auto seems like cheating but I do use it in an emergency shot. Whatever setting you shot on was great! Lovely sky!
That sounds kinda backward. When you're new is when you would want to use Auto so you have pleasing results and feel some satisfaction in your work that you may struggle hard to feel with manual until you are more seasoned.

Hello Pounder would you explain "Bridge Camera"; DSLR; and MP to me? Some of the many things I need to re-learn. some day I'll ask someone about upgrading my 1979 Olympus OM-10. Well, Thanks, Buckeye
A bridge camera, I believe (I asked about it myself a while ago) is a cross between a point and shoot (flat thing you can put in your pocket) and a regular-looking boxy camera (SLR or DSLR). It's boxy, but the lens is not removable. It just moves in and out. It will usually say something like 37X zoom or 3X optical Zoom and 15X digital zoom. DSLR is just a digital form of an SLR or Single Lens Reflex like a Canon AE-1 Program (I just use that as an example because I have one). MP is Mega Pixels. Normally, the more pixels the sharper and more detailed the picture turns out to be, but it depends on the size of the sensor in the camera. A 10 MP DSLR is probably sharper than a 12 MP point and shoot, because the DSLR has a larger sensor.

My Lumix has that setting, it's a great camera for me.

The manual Auto controversy comes up again and again on this forum. Although I used Minolta SLRs back in film days, I don't currently own a DSLR. I have a Canon Power Shot SD1100is and a Canon Power Shot SX110is. The SD1100 is a true shirt pocket point and shoot, 8mp 3x zoom. I bought it originally for my wife because it has an optical viewfinder. You can make some manual settings, but it's complicated and time consuming, so 99% of the time it's on full auto. We've both taken some very nice photos with it. The SX110 is MY camera. It's not quite what I would call a bridge camera 9mp with 10x zoom, no optical viewfinder(boo!). It has manual modes Auto, P, T, A and M along with seven scene modes. When I'm carrying it around it's almost always on either Auto or P and when a photo opportunity presents itself I almost always take the first shot in Auto or P so I'm sure of getting something that's at least presentable. If the shooting opportunity doesn't evaporate then I may shift to one of the manual modes, do some bracketing, play with cropping with the zoom etc. While I've been writing this I realized I've rarely used any of the scene modes. I really should try them and see what kind of results they produce. Although I could never be considered a pro, or even an advanced amateur, I have been fooling around with cameras since I bought an Argus C3 in 1952, shooting Kodachrome ASA12. I have a pretty decent understanding of the exposure triangle and depth of field aspects of photography and am gradually getting up to speed in the digital era (just received PSE and Scott Kelby's book from Amazon a couple of days ago).
I'd like to see someone start a thread inviting everyone to submit two photos of the same scene, the first one taken with the camera set either on full auto or set to what ever scene mode was appropriate for the scene being shot and the second one taken in full manual set according to what ever the photographer thought was correct so we can all evaluate them. I would be interesting to see how many of us has better judgment than our cameras and it might help us put this Auto vs. manual issue to bed once and for all. Do I have any takers? ........ Coot

Really great shot Photopop........for me, my camera sits on Aperture Priority mode unless the figures in my view finder tell me to start experimenting. :roll: Darryl
