digital imagery with the panasonic lumix dmc-fz50

i finally got a nice digital camera, a panasonic lumix—and even better, i finally started shooting with it. i really like the flexibilty of not having to pace myself and shooting whatever catches my eye without the worry of cost or limitations of a roll of film (which consists of 36 exposures that costs about $45 to process/prints made and scanned to become digital files) then deleting it if i ended up not liking it. plus, night photography without a flash is no longer snowy or a cloudy black as it is with film. the advances in camera technology all but eliminate taking sloppy photographs that are blurry or unfocused. my only nitpick is that the images are too perfect. the focus is tight throughout (like one’s eyesight if 20/20) and the colors are uniformly even. so, if every photo taken looks like it’s by a professional, how does a photographer find a way to express his/her personality through a digital camera? based on no experience with a digital camera, i ended up softening the focus by either shaking the camera by my hands being unsteady when pressing the shutter button, or selecting focus and then zooming in or out to change the composition, which fouled up the sharp focus of my original point of focus. i am sure with more practice and expertise, i will be able to shoot photos with finesse that express my personal style.
