I played around with my new camera some more this afternoon. I’m absolutely in love with this thing!
This is a small portion of my back yard.

And this is my favorite macro wanna-be shot.

I haven’t actually played with the macro setting yet. This is actually me with the lens 4″ from the leaf, zoomed in to 55mm. Maybe I’ll start playing around with it tomorrow. Today consisted mainly of me experimenting with the “No Flash” setting. I managed to get some really good shots in the woods using that setting.
The rest of today’s pics are here.

We found an ad from HH Gregg in this morning’s paper for a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi with the 18-55mm lens and a free starter kit that consisted of a rather large carrying case, an extra battery, and a haze filter. I was waiting for Christmas, but this deal was just too good to pass up so we headed over to the Mall of Georgia store and bought it. I also picked up a 4G Compact Flash card for only $40. I don’t know if that’s a good deal or not, as I’m only familiar with pricing on SD cards.
I ended up with sixty-six pictures before retiring for the evening. Here are some of my more favorite shots.
