After a quick course in Digital Photographic Equipment taught by the assembled gurus here on the DIS Photography Board I reconsidered my course of action and instead of purchasing a G11 in preparation for my upcoming trip in December to The World I today purchased a Canon Rebel XS - AND - a nifty 50 (to try for those elusive Dark Ride photos).
And yes - after I uploaded the picture below I realized that since I was in Manual mode I should have set the White Balance...at this time I am a Point & Shoot person wandering around with a DSLR. So to the 'enry 'iggins of the board - there are 21 days until The Mouse - that is how much time you have to turn me into a DSLR ninja like you...
In any case here it is, the first photo from my new camera.
A self portrait:
Since I had learned from the Board that RAW is my friend - here is the same image with the white balance corrected and cropped.
A self portrait (Take 2):
