My new camera, the Sony A6000, has a brilliant inbuilt programme that turns the image from a basic photograph to one that can isolate one colour, say red or blue, leaving the remainder of the photograph in black & white; changes the image to one that looks like a water-colour with the tints bleeding into each other; and, my favourite, illustration which alters the photograph miraculously so that it looks like a graphic illustration. It is tempting to embark on designing a comic strip, or to illustrate an article with an illustration instead of an image.
Here I give you a few samples of Illustration, taken on a walk along my local beach the other day, a cold wintry day but with a blue sky lighting the day. I hope they reproduce in the blog as they do on my screen, best viewed very large.
MARI'S TRAVELS WITH HER CAMERA 
When it comes time to get a new model, I can recommend this one. If you’re the sort who can carry and cope with other lens as well, this one has a selection you can buy, as well as filters etc. I just use the Auto function on mine, my days of hauling a bag full of accessories are long gone, I’m for an easy life now.

I’m mildly envious! 🙂 Some of us have to spend hours (well, minutes 🙂 ) in photo processing to get these results.

I find myself photographing everything in this mode at the moment, it’s fun finding out, and I too am amazed at the results. A great benefit, of course, is that you can photograph people without having to block out their faces or get permission from them. It’s especially good where children are involved for this reason. The watercolour I’m not so keen on, but I’ll post a few one of these days, along with the ‘one colour in isolation’ so that you can see the result. .

Those are all great features, you’ll have fun using them, I reckon.
