First post

These are examples of some pics with my HX200V on a recent trip to NM Iowa. On another site I got the hint to photograph what you see and enjoy, so my pics may not be romantic, but they are what I enjoy. The day was bright with some clouds. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am afraid I might get addicted to HDR painting. I have taken many pics with this camera and still learn each time out. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I am having a ball with the camera, and have learned a lot from this forum. From one post I learned to get comfortable with the automatic selections first and I try to limit myself to program mode and 100 ISO. I am afraid I might get addicted to HDR painting so am working to avoid that most of the time.
