Ok...my first zoomed S2 pics...opinions?

[Insane3D]

Went for a 4 hour hike today and took some zoom shots of some flowers and bees. This was my first real chance to get some decent shots with the new S2. I'm sure they could be better because I just used Auto mode...but, here they are...

Yeah, I somehow managed to catch that bee in flight...

Damn, this is getting addicting..I already ordered a aluminum 58mm lens adapter, 58mm snap in lens cap, and Hoya UV filter...

Thanks! I imagine once I get the hang of the bazillion settings this thing has, I'll get even better ones..

Out of curiousity, to what degree can you override this camera's automation?

Pretty much everything. I can set F stops from 2.7 - 8.0, shutter from 15" to 1/3200,I can switch off AF and use manual focus, and the usual like white balance, flash output, light metering mode...etc.

I just need to get a feeling for the settings. My A40 had some settings like that, but I never bothered to learn them because it got messed up, and that was my first camera.
