Fabulous! I’m going to be looking forward to Foto Fridays! We just got a new Canon last week and it’s all a little on the strange side to me. I’ve always had a point and shoot type of deal and even those at times seemed foreign.
Great works, thanks and keep it comin’

Very helpful. I think you should DEFINITELY keep doingthese. don’t disapoint your fans….also, come check out my latest entry. I am going to enter a photo contest and I have my potentialsubmisssions up there and I want readers to help me choose which ones I should enter (I can’t enter all of them).
Thanks and I’ll be back!

I agree that you should do more foto fridays. You are a great teacher/explainer and it is so nice when you include examples from real life. We’re hoping to get a “real” camera for Christmas so for me it’s like pre-learning!

I agree…great post!! I hope this Foto Friday is the first of many. I don’t have a fancy camera (although I would LOVE to get one, one day) but it is really fascinating to see/hear about the features on your camera, and to see how your photos come to look the way they do. Thumbs up!

Weeeeeee! The blurry background! YAY! That’s one of my favourite effects! And good job explaining it. Keep up the Foto Fridays. You have been the only one in a year to be able to explain F-stop so that I retain the information past the point that the person stops talking. Weeeeeeeeee!

I loved this tutorial. I hated our manual for our Canon and just searched the web for someone to put it into English and found it alot easier to get. I use PSP XI for photo editing. I downloaded the free trial and then just bought it cheaply online. You can do so many amazing things, from DOF, filters, textures etc…
