SX150IS is a nice cam... lets yo get very close (upto 1cm) to the subject. Plus full manual controls and Manual focus will be handy

are you using any filters?I dont know but this shot looks phenomenal is it the beautiful decoration/presentation of the food or the colours i just cannot get it but it is very much attractive
kjuvale this is awesome too dont know if you have already posted it.Zürich | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
your last image is very good.Just crop the upper portion a bit.So that the height of the sky portion decreases.
anyways guys any replies for post 5460.Btw nac & others i had asked about a little help with the manual controls.

Does this happen in Auto mode? Don't know exactly but turning off focus tracking might help. If it doesn't set focus to infinity and try again

Quanchi,
Sometimes, AF take little to lock. It's completely normal with SX130.
Manual controls - You can shoot in priority mode (Av/Tv). These two modes are semi manual.
Av lets you to set aperture value. You can set between f/3.4 (largest) - f/8 (Smallest). When you shoot at largest you will get small depth of field (DOF) and when you shoot at smallest you will get deep DOF. Small DOF means only the subject you are focusing will be clear and sharp, rest won't. You can get nice bokeh effect/blurring background etc at largest/er Av. At smallest you would get everything in focus.
Tv - Lets you set shutter speed. You can set between 15sec (long exposure) - 1/2500th (max speed) of a second. When there is enough light you can shoot at faster speed. When there is not enough light/low light, you can shoot at longer exposure. If you use longer exposure in a very good lit condition, your image will be over exposed which we don't want (there may be exception). With image stabilization (IS) turned on we get sharp image up to 1/30th sec handhold picture (approx). It differ from person to person depends on how steady their hands are. Anything less than that you would get blurred image. It's better to shoot with the help of tripod when you use longer exposure or you can leave the camera in a flat surface like table to avoid getting handhold blurred image.
In M mode (full manual), you can set both Av and Tv
Quanchi, your mobile shots are so good.
Trublu, Excellent one.

I thought DSLR is the only camera (type) that can take images of direct sun. Because it has mirror so sun rays are converged on the sensor for a very short time (unless you decide to do a long exposure)
PnS camera with live view, Electronic view finders, mirrorless cameras and cell phones will continue taking damage while you compose the shot.
Correct me if I am wrong

Thanks for the guide too.
Btw yes trublu your shot is also attractive.
Lol thats why its not a dslr.
I know that.Since it is a mobile cam smaller aperture thats why i did it.
anyways there was a purpose for the very first pic.so that it looks a bit artistic.But unfortunately it didnt came out that good.Btw which picture you liked the last one or the second last one.
Still needs a lot to learn from you guys.

@quan chi
Your first two images (panorama) lack contrast... They can look much better if you add some... Like your third pic... has shades from pure white to pure black.
4th image... It is a panorama and beach. A colored shot would look better.
No expert advice, just my thoughts
Also I damaged the camera on my N86 with the sun.. it was f/4.6
