Description

Just playin' around with my new camera (Canon Powershot G7), which I've no idea how to use yet. lol! Really need to read up on the settings for it or see if there's a "Photography for Dummies" book or something. I really want to figure out how to do macro shots, so I stalked this butterfly all over my back yard this afternoon. It came out alright, I guess, best out of the shots I managed to get of it... but it's got a lot more noise than I want it to have. Not sure how to get the photo nice and crisp and clean. I'm sure it's a setting I'm using, or not using. I know this camera of mine is capable of much better macro shots though as I've seen some taken by other people with the same camera. Obviously, though, they know what they're doing... unlike myself. ;p I do like how it captured the butterfly's shadow on the blade of grass though. Just wish it had less noise & was crisper. :/ Any photographers out there have any tips... especially as far as macro shots are concerned? I'd love to hear them! Just keep in mind that I'm a total noob! ;) Thanks for looking! XOXO, Brandi
