Hello, Goodbye

The Canon PowerShot S3 IS has arrived. The Canon PowerShot SD110 is out. Yay!

I have a lot of buttons to figure out. There’s a lot of features to learn. However, I can already tell just from toying with it even in the dreary, rainy, overcast light we have today that the new camera is 100 times better. It’s going to be so much more fun to use.

Tuesday night my mother pointed out that I was really hard on the SD110. I’m going to have to be much nicer and kinder and carefuller with the S3. I guess that means it might be a few weeks before I start being really daring with it.

Here are a few of the 100 photos I took in the first day. I can already tell an amazing difference in the quality of the photographs the new camera produces. These were all taken from my living room through my picture window. I used to have to stand about a foot away from my bird feeder very still and wait without breathing for a very long time to get a close up of a bird…and still the photo wouldn’t be sharp enough to really identify the bird.

   May I ask what you feed your birds…something to do with apples? I am an avid bird watcher and always looking for new things to feed them…my Baltimore Orioles have just returned!! This year I also have a Scarlet Tanager..my yard is just full of color. Love your pic of the cardinal…I hear them singing by my house but they never seem to be in sight.

   I just buy the regular bird seed for wild birds that the grocery store carries. That bird feeder had a retro country stamp on it about apples on it.
