Daffodils in the Woods

Daffodils in the Woods

After what I hope is the last April shower, I looked up from my computer and noticed the sun shining, I grabbed my camera and dashed outside to practice using some of the new features.

Enhanced with Picnik, this shot of the daffodil bulbs that are blooming in the woods in our backyard was taken with the zoom feature of this Sony Cybershot DSC W100 camera.

Tomorrow, I'll be singing the May song in memory of my Dad.

'Tis springtime, 'tis springtime, Cold winter is past;
Warm breezes are blowing and May's here at last;
The birds are returning, Their songs fill the air;
And meadows are smiling with blossoms so fair.

I used the Macro feature to capture the dewy raindrops on one of the daffodils. The great thing about this feature is that it is a simple press of a button on the camera.

I brought this photo into Corel's Paint Shop Pro X and zoomed in, resizing it to show the full effects of the macro (at 8.1 Megapixels).

I then brought it into Picnik and applied the rounded edge border.

This is a great camera!
