When I bought my first "high tech" camera I didn't want to touch it. I was too afraid of taking it out and breaking it plus I was upset with myself for spending so much money on it. Luckily I was living with a family who knew how to get me to do things. Cindy took me by the arm and made me run errands with her for a couple of hours. During which time she made me realize that the money spent was only being wasted if I didn't use the camera. When we got home she then made me take my camera out and use it. So I started playing with all the new gadgets and settings.
I fell in love with my camera the moment I found the feature that turned everything black and white except for the color you choose. This of course can be done better in Photoshop but at the time it was my favorite type of picture. I love the sepia pictures of little kids in grown up clothes with one item in color. The most memorable is a little boy and girl sharing strawberry ice cream. Here are some of the pictures I took with this feature a couple of years ago.
Beautiful. I always think of an old picture of my grandpa in the navy where he's in black and white with just his red hair and lips colored. :)
