Don't Laugh

Ok Folks! This is my first ever all “MANUAL” shot.
As most of you know, up to now I have been taking pictures with an Olympus C-5060.
All of my shots were basically point and shoot, (mostly shutter priority).

Well about a week ago I purchased a Canon EOS 20D and told myself it’s time to grow up.
A part of this growth was to turn the dial to “M” and start learning.
The above shot is from my first outing, and is the best “from the camera” image out of about 30 shots.
It pretty much sucks, but I guess I am only bound to get better.

While I’m not leaving my main passion which is “Photoshopography” behind,
I do think it is time to hone in on my camera skills a little more.

Wish me luck

Enjoy the new cam. BTW not compulsory to use it on "manual". ;-)

You'll love that 20D and this is detailed and rich in color w/great bokeh (which you would never have gotten with your "old" camera.
