After the rain

On my last full day in Hawaii, I grabbed my camera and stepped out the front door after one of the many rains we had. Sweetie is coming home tonight. The critters and I have missed him very much.

Day 269 – Afternoon walk

My foot is getting better every day, but it’s still a bit tender so I took a short, careful walk around the grounds at work this afternoon, and what did I focus on again?

I took these with my 85mm. These are cropped, of course.

Day 251 – Yellow! Bees!

Day 148 – Birthday Present!

Yes, I’m spoiled rotten. I know it.

Sweetie gave me a Canon EOS 7D EF-28-135 IS USM kit for my birthday. I’ve had my eye on one for a while and I’m really, really happy with it. It’s much heftier that my Rebel T1i, and has a wider range of capabilities. ISO starts at 100 and increases at 1/3 stop intervals up to 6400. Very, very little noise at the highest ISO (one of the comments I read over and over and over again about this model). Also, 100% field of view means the photo I compose in my viewfinder will be the photo the camera will produce. No unknown stuff around the edges. I took it out for a whirl today. Here are just a few of my shots. Very little processing done to these, just a bit of sharpening of the RAW files.
