Photography can be so frustrating at times. I stumble around with settings, then get so annoyed I just flick to Auto and relax and leave it all to the camera to sort out!
In the course of experimentation, particularly in low light situations, I have learnt never to delete anything but wait until I bring them up on computer...and then I can be pleasantly surprised!
Here's a few unexpected results, often because I have not checked what setting my Canon SX10is was on.
I have now upgraded to the recently released Canon SX40HS which captures a better pic in low light.
Damaraland, Namibia.
Wrong camera setting but I love these colours: so cooling after a hot day's slog building rock walls for water point protection from desert elephants. http://www.desertelephant.org/
Chobe River, Botswana.
Lone Namibian fisherman. Late afternoon overcast skies created this peaceful scene's light.
Lake Tana, Ethiopia.
Eerie light of early morning boat trip to island monasteries. My camera program select button was on wrong setting.
Luss, Loch Lomond, Scotland.
Love the delicate colouring of this low light scene.

Awesome Pictures.
I wish I lived in all of these places. It's beautiful here, too, though, so I better not take my current location for granted.
Yes, these came out great...lesson to be learned...I won't delete either...still learning myself and get frustrated as well, then turn to auto. Someday...it will be easier. Thanks for the photos.
Scenes like those are beautiful at any camera setting, I think. Beautiful pics. The lone Namibian fisherman really tells a story.
The picture of the Chobe River is my favorite. Beautiful light! I agree with you... unless the picture is completetly useless, I have stopped deleting from my camera. It always looks a little different on the computer screen.
Oh I love that fisherman photo! Well done!!
These are great Jim! I especially liked the fisherman and Loch Lomond. Both are very beautiful. I am just learning to take advantage of the tools on the computer to make "worthless" pictures a little better.
Wow, Jim, these are beautiful! Love the Chobe River shot.
Absolutely beautiful shots and great surprises. Love the Botswana shot!
Not bad for doing it "all wrong"!
Hello Jim.
I love these virtual tours you take us on, because I'd probably never get to visit half the places in reality.
Still think the shots are awesome!
Thanks for sharing.
