A Test of Sorts
I came home a bit early today since we have some guests for dinner and I wanted to give a test of a new camera I bought. I was tired of point and shoot digital cameras and the lack of control I had with my old 35mm SLR. I made the plunge into the digital SLR world by purchasing a Canon Rebel XSi. I have experience with the Canon Rebel film line so this was a natural next purchase for me.
I wanted to get it in time to practice with before I go to Kenya in September and gave it some tests today. Boy am I rusty in the SLR world. I’m going to need all the time I can get.
Here are a couple of pictures that I took today around the house. First our guests…
Then as I was transferring the pictures to the computer I looked out the window and saw this…
I wish I had time to switch from auto to manual focus for the second shot. There were a total of 3 of them enjoying an afternoon drink from the freshly made nectar.
More testing of the camera will come soon. Excited to rejoin the SLR world.
