This photo was actually an accident. I meant to focus on the sky in the background, but I ended up focussing on the silhouette of the leaves. But I wasn't really awake at 700h this morning when I stopped the car at a nearby retirement housing to take a few shots on my way to work. The fstop I think was too small...

I purchased the Panasonic Lumix FZ50, black. It's an SLR-like camera. What I really wanted was something that I could customize certain parameters but not so fancy like a Canon Rebel. So far I really enjoy it. You can use it as a regular point n shoot or you can do a lot of advanced stuff. The zoom is interior, so that's also another bonus. The only iffy point of the camera is the digital viewfinder. On the one hand, it's nice to navigate the menu without using the LCD. On the other hand, if it breaks, it is totally broken.
it was probably that, but actually, since the f/ stop value represents the fraction of of the diameter (focal lenght / #), therefore, a small f/ stop represents a larger aperture. Anyways, as Bryan Peterson names the aperture ranges as: Small apertures (f/16 - f/32) Story telling (more depth of field), Medium apertures (f/8 - f/11) whatever, and Large apperture (f/2.8 - f/5.6) singular-theme (no depth of field). I comment this from our conversation the other day regarding the topic. I usually like to play with those ranges (mostly going to one of the ends) and let the sensor to give me the correct time for the exposure. In particular, I've seen really good results for pictures where I use larger f/ stop values.
I wasn't messing with the fstop value as much...right now I just have the settings on shutter speed. Without the filters, I can't really take pictures with the sun directly shining into the lens, so I leave the camera for adjusting the aperture automatically and just worry about the shutter speed (since I'm mostly taking pics at mostly low light area).
