New Camera; First Try At Macro; Thoughts? (Large Res Pics)

[SirHarlock]

I jumped up from an old Sony that wrote to floppy diskettes (

) to the Canon Power-Shot SD1100 IS. Obviously it won't be as good at macro as more expensive stuff since it's compact and really a point-and-shoot, but it's got some nice options in manual mode and the macro works pretty good for what it is.

Anyway, I got the camera this afternoon and I've been fiddling with it, seeing what it does. I really like macro photography and nature, so I definitely want to try that tomorrow; however, as it is night time in Chicago now, I made due and found stuff inside to shoot!

All shot with ISO80 at 3264x2448:

Let me know what you guys think and throw any suggestions you think I could benefit from.

Very nice Enjoy your new camera, and depending on your subject with macro try off center shots of it for composition, depending on what your shooting it can turn out looking better. (not in quality but looks)

Here's some more stuff I shot yesterday..

I was looking for a fireside glow (hence the golden/orange whites) I think got just a little too much, but it's not that bad.
