Strawing Story and First Test Photo

My camera is a Sony DSC-P30, 1.3 megapixels. It is said that this camera will make excellent 4x6 prints and very good 5x7 prints. For 8x10 prints you need the DSC-P50. I did some research on the net and my camera seemed to have the best macro capability of cameras I found in the $300 range. I'm still learning to use it.
