Exploring my camera

As I've said, I bought Canon IXUS 860 IS and I played around with it to check out its function. Er Mei Ren keep asking me to try out the functions and hopefully, with my lousy skills, I can take a better picture for her during her graduation cause she did not hire the photographer. Save money for us to go sight-seeing I guess. Anyway, how can I possibly take nicer picture than the photographer? I guess I can only convince her that I can do it with my lousy skills because I have a beautiful model. I hope she likes people kissing her backside.

So Er Mei Ren insist that I post up the pictures I took while playing around with the functions to show her. You can comment and teach me how to take nicer pictures but please do not "step" me too kuat because I am an amateur only. I can take light criticism. And I mean L-I-G-H-T. Don't la so harsh to me. Like YOU LANGSUNG DON'T HAVE TALENT!!!!!!

The picture where only the object focused is colored while the rest are in B&W

The blur Shan. I mean the picture blur lar.

Random picture. Its like one turtie telling another one. Haiya! Brader.

Where only the front object is focus-ed while the rest behind is plain blur.

Another one. I specially like this teddy. It's Joanne's. =P

ps: I need guide on
-how to take pictures where I can capture the beautiful sceneries and still not make my sister look like a midget.
-how to make her look slimmer and taller
-how to make her the most gorgeous lady alive.

And no, I don't care if she is not very tall in person. I want her to look tall although it is not really so in reality. And yes, slimmer please. If you are thinking of diet, forget it. I want the magic of camera. =P

pps: My current nick in my MSN is

i say: Madame Kuan, please bless me with inteligence or better still,easy papers!!

If you do not know Madame Kuan, she is Kuan Yin lor. =( I seriously need an easy paper to boost my confidence. Its amazing how I am so freaking scared when this is like the very first time I actually prepared for an exam. I am still wondering how I managed to crawl all the way to STPM when I don't study for my exams. UPSR, PMR, SPM, all easy come easy go. =P

ppps: Pao, I spent hours doing this for you cause blogger merajuk-ed with me. Refuse to let me post my pictures. =(

And I was told that I don't look good in sunglasses. Hint: The nose.
