Photography Skills... or Lack Thereof

It occurred to me last night that I should get a light tent.

Shortly afterwards, it occurred to me that I could probably MAKE my own light tent.

Then I remembered that I didn't know how to use half of the functions on my digital camera (a Canon PowerShot that's officially three years old this year), or even where they ARE.

I guess I'm spending today learning how to use the thing before I start cutting up large swaths of cloth and mutilating coathangers...
