OK, so I am finally learning what the buttons and SOME of the functions do on this new hot rod the wife got me for Christmas. Thought I'd share a pic.
For those that are familiar with the Shoals area: this is the new waterfall in Spring Park in Tuscumbia. We went over tonight to see the lights and light show and naturally I carried the camera. Whadda ya think??
Comments and critiques welcome. I know there are several here that are very handy behind a lens.

Camera is a Canon 20D.
Lighting was very scarce. There was a street light off to the right side and some Christmas lights to the left. I was impressed with the sharpness of the lighter toned features. Most of rock is dark, and water was black too (except coming over the falls).
Prob could pick up some more light though. We'll give it a try.
Pic is scaled down to view on net. Orig was 2544 x 1696 with res turned down to 72 pix/in. Spur of the moment trip, only had one flash card w/ me.  |

I agree, not to mention reading the booklet that came with it from cover to cover several times. I have a few books that I used in school and they always come in handy. |
