Glad I could help. And my mom, peripherally, since she's the one who snapped that shot. I do need a better lit place in my house to get similar shots...
You know my P90 is 12.1 megapixels and a 24X wide zoom lens. I was looking for something like a Nikon D5000 because one of my professors had one with a flash diffuser and I always admired the "product" photos he took of our final projects. But I didn't have the funds for the D5000 so I staggered over to check out the P&S cameras Nikon had available and found that P90.
I take a lot of wildlife photos. That 24X zoom has given me some of the best shots I would never be able to get with any other standard P&S. I carry it with me everywhere just in case. What I find incredibly interesting about it is that I can do that "hold out one arm and press the shutter" thing and get a similar "self portrait" without seeing my own arm. I'd never been able to do that until I got the P90.
My first camera was a Nikon. I can't remember the model—only that I had to wind the film after each shutter click and remember to not immediately move the camera down from eye-level after a shot or I'd get blurry images. I took "ghost" photos using that technique once I found out what I was doing.
I even had one of those goofy 110 cameras that I abused on a trip from Yellowstone around Devil's Tower and through the Dakotas.

Good memories.
