Backyard Photo Adventure

honeysuckle in my backyard

Last Sunday I made a semi-impulse purchase that I'm still really excited about. About 10 minutes after getting home from visiting family and friends in DFW, I hopped back in the car and bought my first big kid camera - a Canon Rebel 2Ti. It was love at first sight.

Monday I came home and took a ton of pictures only to find them all incredibly grainy when I uploaded them to the computer. Apparently 7pm is not the ideal time to start taking pictures, at least not when the camera is more sophisticated than you.

I've spent a good deal of my evenings reading the manual, a book specifically about the T2i our trumpet teacher lent me, and taking pictures of random photo subjects. I really like the one to the left that I got this morning.

I'm hoping to get really amazing in time for our Williams trip to Ireland in July. I got some great pictures when we went on our honeymoon in 2008 using my Kodak point-and-shoot, so hopefully with a more impressive camera I'll get some more impressive shots.



Here's a sampling of my photo adventures:

one of my favorites - a little more impressive if you click and see the full image. i dig the shape the plastic makes with
st. francis popping out. :)
