Aha! Vandy plays with the camera...

I thought that after a year (or almost) of having this camera, a Canon PowerShot A510, I should actually be a bit methodical in learning how it works... (as opposed to catch as catch can in a desperate 'need it this instant' kind of way.)
I'd been trying to figure out about focus, because not all my shots of growing things seem to work. And just today I was browsing a cooking blog, that is interspersed with stunning photography, and my blurry haphazard attempts just don't cut it. Not when I have a reasonably decent camera. (Not high end, but pretty good for lower end.)
So, I was just playing with the macro setting. And I'm starting to get a feel for it... Okay, out in the bright sun, I can't see the display screen very well, and if I wear my sunglasses outside, they're not bifocal, and then I have trouble seeing the camera!
