Thread: Point'n'click Happy Snaps

I thought I'd start a thread exclusively for those point-n-click gems that you often get without really trying. I am not a camera aficionado and have been more than happy with the clutch of auto-everything, one-touch pocket cameras I've owned. So here are the rules for the thread:
- Camera must be digital.
- No DSLR, no interchangeable lenses
- No post-processing
- No content restrictions.

Here's my first few...


Mer de Glace, Chamonix
Pentax Optio S4 - still can't believe it ever took a photo this good. Bit noisy but just about all the others this camera took were rubbish.

All the rest here are using a Canon Ixus something-or-other. Pretty much sold me on Canon for point-n-click cameras from here on. First here's a couple of Venice. Doesn't matter how many whizz-bang filters you have, nothing beats the quality of light you get from a good sunrise...



My best "postcard" shot I think:



A shot of the ceiling of the Pantheon in Rome. This makes a great desktop image:


Mountains are by far my favourite subject matter so I have tried to restrain myself and only put two in. This is a shot of the Alps in Austria taken at St Anton am Arlberg:


This next one is, I think, my favourite shot of all, even though it has no mountains. It's a market in Munich:


This is the Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam. The light here was amazing:


Top of the Daimler Chrysler building in Berlin. One of those weird optically fascinating moments:



And finally the old London Eye:


Anyway, I hope this gets people started. Remember, only digital point'n'click shots with no Photoshopping...

This was taken in 2005 with my Canon IXUS400 whilst out for some lunch.
