Yet in summer's grip

[ghoulsis]

I took some photos today outside my house... I felt the first stirrings of autumn in this morning's rain, yet summer's grip remains.





An empty cicada husk hanging upside down from the branch of a maple tree


Hostas in bloom


An unopened rosebud. I can't wait to see how it looks tomorrow.


Same photo, but with auto color-correction by PSE. Not true to life, but I like the effect.

I can't say enough good things about our Canon. I never thought zippyhendirez would shoot with anything other than Nikon (he started out as a newspaper photog), but we're both in love with the Canon. I balked at the price initially, but seeing how many pics of X we toss because they're out of focus, or he turns his head at the last second, or whatever? Yeah. I feel certain it's paid for itself by now. :P

Not to mention the very valuable instant gratification factor. I love knowing whether I (more or less) got what I wanted or need to keep trying.

Absolutely, on the instant gratification. Plus it makes it so much easier to share pics with out-of-town family.

I do love a good Nikon, but not enough to dump all the Canon stuff we have. Plus, I think the 20d outshoots anything in its price range.
