I need time to experiment with that. I cheated and used the smaller camera, putting it on portrait, then hitting the flower icon and zooming in. Since I learned that both of our cameras zoom in without losing pixels, I'm using that more.
I'm still nervous about making the shift to manual and also to using the lenses we got. Of course that also means using the larger Canon S5 IS like yours. This is purely and simply an emotional block and I will get past it. Right now I'm still in bear mode, as one of my fellow North-Easterners put it, getting ready for hibernating in the cold weather and thankful we've got a 2-day breather here. (Here's our weather forecast, so you west-coast people can gloat:
http://forecast.weather.gov/Ma...) With my allergy to cold I need to do everything I can to get my plants winterized before this next cold front settles in.
I wanted to document some of my plants today without taking too much time and did some of this uploading when I needed to sit and recuperate!
I'll experiment with the cameras -- including this famous .RAW -- when I'm stuck indoors again...
By the way, Asa, congratulations on winning in the raffle!
