This is me trying to learn some of the tricks with my camera and program. Rember, I'm just a begginer!
This is a collage made by sticking down lots of bits of coloured tissue paper with watered down PVA glue.
Coloured tissue and glue on card, then drawn into with pen and a little watercolour.

Race Brook Falls Trail, southwest Massachusetts.
Loren and I took a hike up this trail today to inspect for downed limbs and trees after the high winds the last few days. It was also an opportunity for me to try out the new Canon G7X which I got to replace the Sony RX100 III which I recently sold.
These are three untouched JPEGs straight out of the camera. All I did was crop them square. Impressive.
The Sony RX100 takes remarkable images but it's physical ergonomics are a problem for me: flush mounted buttons, a control-by-wire front control wheel and very slow operation.
The Canon G7X is essentially the same camera done by Canon. Very similar size and shape, same 1" sensor, nice flip up LCD for ground level shots, front control wheel with clicks (a bit too loud actually), much faster operation, better physical controls and a better menu system.
It feels much like a bigger, more capable Canon S90/95/100/110/120, etc.
I noticed that in high ISO JPEGS (no RAW converter yet) there is some smearing and this was true of the Sony RX100 (all models) as well.
It takes a while to get to know a new camera and for me the jury is still out on this one. I definitely like it better than the Sony RX100 but nothing compares with my Ricoh GR so I need to keep this camera long enough to sort that out.
Another revisit and another opportunity to do something different from the last set; no clattering swords or camp fires this time round. I so love backlit leaves as one or two people may have gathered
Incredible color on this backlit Japanese maple leaf (note also that this is the back of the maple leaf, very well lit by the sun). When I shot straight towards the sun, I got a silhouette... this is slightly away from the sun, but still backlit.. Voilà! A whole new image. Wow! Unbelievable! This result amazes me because it feels like this picture is taken in a dark room with some artificial light. I will continue to investigate more. Backlighting is very interesting! I have so much to learn!
