Thank you for sharing...Those are some amazing photos for '' a beginner'' LOL...
May I ask...Given the choice between the Canon PowerShot SD950 IS and the Canon G9, Which would you choose?

Thanks a bunch...P.S. I love that Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8Lens you used...I have the pentax version and it rocks on..thAt is a lens that should be in everyones bag!
