Help for a Newbie

[belle41379]

Hi everyone. On our last trip I tried to get some really nice shots of the surroundings at Disney (castle, mountains, etc.). I do not have an expensive camera-just a Sony Cyber-shot 7.2mp. I know I can't get world class photos with this camera, but for now it's what I have to work with. We leave next week for another trip and I was wondering:

1. do you have any general tips for me
2. has anyone used this camera and do you have any suggestions on the settings etc. that I should use for certain shots

Thank you for any tips you send my way.

That camera should be fine for capturing some great memories.

Take a look at the message near the top of the board:

Equipment Recommendations / Photo Techniques

Good stuff in there.

And have a great trip!

Thanks Paul! I must have been reading the thread names too quickly...I missed that one.

Anytime...and bring back pictures for us--we're addicted you know!

I will! Here's one of my last trip. I was playing with the sepia function on my little 'ol camera while on Splash Mountain. Thanks again for directing me in the right palce!

Now that link I knew about! I posted the same photo yesterday (and it showed up-the right size and everything! ) on the POTD thread, and when I went over there it isin't showing up today either. Humm...will have to investigate.
