"The moment always dictates in my work. What I feel, I do. This is the most important thing for me. Everybody can look, but they don't necessarily see. I never calculate or consider; I see a situation and I know that it's right, even if I have to go back to get the proper lighting."

Rick from Toronto, Canada

Magnificent, Mariana. Or without the comma; Magnificent Mariana! A wonderful burst of textured colour nuances, and this decision to come in nice and tight is perfect. I have seen quite a few beautiful Powershot images and will keep it in mind for a future upgrade when I want something small and fast to go along with my main camera. (my Sony from 2005 is basically primitive now!) ;-)

10 Jun 2011 10:27pm

@Rick: hey, thanks Rick . yes, always have any camera with you ... I really do not see any advantages of these big, expensive cameras, at least in my shooting ;)

Michael Fresh from Chester, United Kingdom
