Ah, is that all?

Thanks for all the great help, you guys. You've all confirmed that my "let
the freakin' camera handle everything automatically" approach is not just
flawed, but laughably so. I thought that by pointing the camera straight at
the food with the flash, I'd get decent pics. Clearly not.

Yes, I shall peruse the recommended books, and turn occasionally to the
numerous photography gurus on this list.

Thanks again.

Regards,

Madhu
PS: My canon a20 eats batteries like crazy. 10 pics (without even the LCD
on) and I've exhausted a regular set. Guess I'll have to invest in
rechargeable ones. :(
