I barely did anythign at all to some of these pictures... not all... these are damn near right off the camera...

I up the sat barely... and the reflection lake one is the only one i fiddled with colors, simply to get that deeper blue reflection coming out in the lake...

Other than that, yes... the camera does the work... I mean, you DO have to find the spots which is the main part. But then you also have to fiddle with your settings to get optimal results.

Since I got this 40D I have tried to use ONLY Manual mode to learn all the proper settings for certain circumstances.

take the pink shots for instance... they are barely touched and all the blur is from the camera itself... Its all in the aperture and exposure
