I took my Digital Rebel to Chautauqua, did a bit of reading, and experimented with the Av Priority setting. Learned a fair amount, and am doing some more reading. One of my goals this summer was to post a picture a day on my Photo-a-Day weblog, and I have them uploaded now. I'm pretty happy with most of them. Went outside to our garden this morning and captured today's photo after the rain last night. I took a few of a new hydrangea that I like as well. I'll be taking both cameras on vacation so I can keep up the practice. There's no way to justify the expense of an SLR if you don't learn how to use it!
