It is always a good idea to take your first photo on "all automatic" settings as a way to establish a baseline for making incremental improvements to camera adjustments. The color and reflections are nice here, but nothing about this photo is really outstanding and represents a typical snapshot that could be greatly improved on.

Digital Photo Walk (Morro Bay State Park Marina). Bring your digital camera if you have one, on this outing on a peninsula by the Morro Bay State Park Marina, just below the Museum of Natural History. All photographic skill levels are welcome. At least one experienced docent photographer will conduct a mini-instructional photo tour (IPT) with handouts, enabling you to improve your outdoor and nature photography skills.
