This is how I shoot for my personal viewing enjoyment during cold, grey days of winter. Probably breaks most of the rules, but I enjoy.
The pathway through the back yard.
Crocosmia (front) beginning to bloom.
Shot at sunset yesterday. Light right edge of maple is reflected from a large window.
Path to the patio.
A German Geranium we have had for many years.

You sure you weren't in a botanical garden? Very beautiful, what a wonderful path to wander and capture for winter! Get back outside and Enjoy!

Thanks Kingmapix for viewing and commenting. I agree, most of my shooting is done early morning, late afternoon, or overcast conditions. I view photography as an art form, and your style should reflect what is pleasing to the photographer (unless, of course, it is a business).

What rules? Overcast days make for great photography.

Thanks for your nice comment, I value your opinions! I shot a macro with the SX50 without yet reading how to operate it, just put on AV and shot handheld. I was amazed at the quality of the picture I've attached. Can't wait to learn how to maximize the camera's ability.

Beuties! The biggest problem I have is holding it steady. I spent all day yesterday playing with it and can't remember how I did anything!

Sounds like me! I used a different technique a few minutes ago, I shot the same two blooms on zoom from about 10 feet away, got a very nice photo (even captured a small bee less that 1/4 inch heading for the bloom). However, the 1600 ISO made the background somewhat grainy, which denoise would not completely fix.
