Still only using the point and shoot features.  But I am reading the manual and learning more.  Took this today and thought it turned out nicely.  Cropped and reduced file size for web.

Wow that did come out very nice. Good job!

I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but I wanted to share these with you all and see what you thought.

Squirrel: Fearless squirrel in my backyard.

Rainbow: During my trip to the Black Hills in South Dakota, I ran into a rainbow that was barely off of the ground.

Sunset: Sunset we saw leaving Deadwood, SD (gambling like Wild Bill) and heading back to the cabin.

I have no idea what I was doing out of bed this early, but I took some pictures. I think these are some of the best. Please let me know how I'm doing. I'm moving away from the "Auto" feature and trying out some of the manual settings...

Practically no editing other than resizing them. I love my Canon S2 IS. It was certainly worth the wait from Dell (especially with the deal I got).

My girlfriends brother, who did my promo pics for my upcoming tour, who also claims he's 'not a photographer' took these pics the August long weekend up at his cottage. Figured I would showcase some of them here;

And I particularly like this one here:

About 30 mins elapsed between the two shots.

    • We had no idea as kids how much time and energy it took to be an adult 😅
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
