GOSH !! Your closeups are indeed good !!
It puts to shame all those who own lenscaps more expensive than your G12!!!
Hahahahaha
I've said this many times before, it's not the camera... it's what you can do with it !!
Camera Store owners, and camera sales people would, of course, totally disagree with me..
Keep it up wish4me. However, your "non closeup" shots need a lot of work though.
Cheers

All your closeups are splendid !!
All your outdoors shots lack drama. One should say ANYTHING other than "OK-lor..."
Composition & Exposure. (maybe a little Photoshop in today's context.
I remember when my "Photoshop" was in the darkroom, and then with a physical brush, and "spotone", and "spotoff" retouching the pictures, before they were published.
Here's one of mine

agree with this.
also, something to note is that the g12 is definitely more pocketable than a pentax k-x or k-r. which means that you are more likely to have it with you - having a camera is better than having no camera at all, sometimes.

It's not ONLY about colors.
Look at your shot here
and compare it with this one
Drama is about composition. Once it's not there, no amount of Photoshop can cure...
Hope this helps...

= your picture has been edited right ? the sky seem very blue , i get to c the drama in your picture, but i dun understand it seem the the background building r squeeze together n the bend inwards but it bring out the merlion how to do take this picture ?

= pardon me ok m....
MC: No problem. Always glad to help.

MC: Errr, no. You also need a point of focus. If the water reflections is what you wanted, then you could crop just above the shops. Right now I see sky, a of of sky, and hence, cannot understand what you want me to look at. Hence there is no need to always keep the standard aspect ratios of any picture all the time.
It is not important what you show. What is MOST important, is what you DON'T.
= your picture has been edited right ? the sky seem very blue , i get to c the drama in your picture, but i dun understand it seem the the background building r squeeze together n the bend inwards but it bring out the Merlion.
MC: Only very slightly. I stitched 2 images together in Photoshop, and did a little selective dodging. Point of focus (nothing to do with sharp lens or not) is the key. All elements are vertically orientated, and the "vomit" of the Merlion breaks the vertical lines. Hence, your eye travels upwards, and the focus becomes the Merlion. I also placed the Merlion close enough to the center of the image for it to be immediately noticed. Does this make sense to you?
how to do take this picture ?
MC: 2 images, shot, and stitched with photoshop.
= on my g12 he he he please teach how to do it given the contraints it is prosumer camera,what setting should be use aperture ?
MC: I used to use a G9, so I'm quite familiar with the limitations of the G12.
This Merlion was shot wide open with the 9-18mm Olympus lens. I could have probably achieved the same with the G9, with the 0.42x wide lens attachment.
shutter speed ?
MC: Damn slow. I forgot how many seconds. Maybe it was 10 seconds or something... I don't remember. I was testing the 9-18mm lens when I shot this.
full telephoto or widest angle ?
MC: Widest. I was practically standing on the pier alongside rude tourists who were so noisy, and kept bumping each other (including my camera) to get their "best angle"....
man y thanks in advance

=+ thanks for reply mate! is what you DON'T. u means to say if in the first place i have done what u said to show than u will not make this statement as the picture would have a focus point ( water reflection )n right composition hence u will understand i wanted to show light reflection on the water, m...... m i right ?
