The Party Is Over

A simple photo of empty Champagne bottles, which I encountered when I was on my way to a garage, leaving from a company party through an empty lobby. I dragged the bin to the middle of the roof and tried to capture it. It was a difficult place to shoot: very large, dark lobby with dark blue floor, black low roof and dark walls not too far. Bouncing the flash was not very effective, so I put both flash and camera to manual mode and did a couple of test shots and there it was.

Am very impressed . I have a G2 but can't get results like this.Is there anywhere on your site where you give camera settings ? Or any web pages which give help to G2 s ? The manual is OK in telling you how to operate the camera , but not in uderstanding it !
