My new toy



Self-portrait of my new Canon Powershot A80. A tad dark, because i have horrible lighting in my room.



Simulated lightning, done using slow shutter speed and manually moving the camera.



The A80 has a really nice macro mode, as can be seen here. Done using Macro AF.



This one is also a macro shot, but done using manual mode. As you can see, the resolution is really good on this baby. My friend saw this and told me to clean up my keyboard. (I never realized how dirty it was. :P)



I'm not really sure what to make of this, but basically what happened was, I forgot to switch off the flash when taking the closeup of the Esc button the first time around, and this is the result. Looks kind of nice, in a strange kind of way.



Here's the first shot that I did using the sepia tone effect. But it's a bit dark...



Ah... Much better with a little over-exposure.



And this is what the scene looks like in black and white.

Claire: The A80 is a really cool camera. And there's more features than what you see in the post. I'll be happy to help you with some of the other features if you're interested.
