OK, in my switch in focuses in life (which included putting the Marauder up for sale), one of the things I would like to pursue as a new hobby is photography.
I bought a Canon S5IS last year and it has been a good camera for point and shoot shots on Auto. I have yet to play with any other options the camera has available as my overall photography knowledge is limited to say the least.
I would like to start exploring the abilities of this camera - especially outdoor shots when hiking, camping, or fishing. So any input you can provide on where to start would be appreciated. Any good books or magazines to pick up and read? Anything that would help explain what some camera shooting options are and the effect on the pictures I am trying to take.
So, let's hear what you think.
