New Camera
After about six months of discussion and dithering, M and I bought a digital SLR camera last week. Long ago I’d had a film SLR camera, and I missed what it could do that even my fancy point-and-shoot couldn’t. So we are now owners of a Canon Rebel T1i, and we are enjoying it immensely and learning how to make it do what we want.
Sunday we took it on a walk along the American River in Sacramento on the Jedidiah Smith Loop Trail.
The Trail
Since it was a loop trail and the American River is long, we had to cross the river on a bridge. As a general rule, I am not fond of crossing bridges, but I was brave.
I wasn’t supposed to block the sun with the bridge beam’s shadow, however. M had to do some Aperture magic to make me have any face at all. But the view from the Guy West Pedestrian Bridge was lovely.
At home, I even managed to get a photo, albeit blurry, of our shy neighbor, Oliver.
“I am not here. You cannot see me. I am a plant not an orange kitty.” Oliver.
Before I could get another shot, he was over the fence.
And then, the camera seems to take lovely shots of yarn.

Awesome! Yay Canon! You need to get yourself a 50mm lens. That’s all I shoot with anymore.
Wow. Those pictures with sky? WOW.
Terrific shots! What a great time of year to test out a new camera.
Oh wow! LOVELY shots…(and Oliver is so cute!)
(((hugs)))
Gorgeous pictures!
Lovey pictures! I especially like the yarn close-up!
Beautiful! The colors look so vibrant.
Gorgeous pics! The camera was worth the purchase for the yarn shot alone! 😉
What nice pictures your new camera takes! Oliver is cute.
Those Sac river pictures are gorgeous! and the one of your yard. What cat? I see no cat 😉
Oh, wow! What excellent photographs.
And such nice weather as well.
