colors at the beach

While a few blocks inland there was hot sun, along the coast it was cool and overcast. I stopped to shoot a few pictures using my zoom lens, still on auto mode. Even with the overcast skies, one can see color.

Still lovin' my new toy!

I got a "Big Girl Camera"

I bought a Canon Rebel SL1, reported to be the smallest and lightest DSLR on the market. Size and weight was an important factor in the decision and this camera fits my hand nicely and is fairly light, especially with the Canon 40mm pancake lens. Most of the photos below were taken with that lens.

These are SOOC (straight out of the camera), no editing. The only problem, which I just discovered, is that I had the photo size set too small. So while these look great on the screen, they become quite tiny at 300dpi for printing.

I've go a LOT to learn!! And a lot of fun ahead.
