Got the camera out and decided to do some food pics.

Some shots of the pond at the hospital where the roommate is.

Edit:  I am redoing the gallery site so the pictures will be back up later.

Okay, I have all of the Carlsbad pictures up now. Not all of them came out as well as I wanted, but it was a great learning experience, as it allowed me to experiment with the really good all around lens that I bought. The descent pictures are not as good as they could have been in places, as I was using the built in flash when I could have gone without it. The big room ones have some that I took with and without flash to see the contrast.

Shots of southern NM and AZ. The ones out the side window are a little slanted.

Here’s some decent shots that I took while heading west towards El Paso. Got stuck behind those huge excavator buckets for a bit at the IH 10/20 merge.  Last one is blurry but there is only so much I can do while driving.

Played with the macro lens for a few minutes to answer my brothers question on how well it worked.  First two images are the standard lens at both ends of the focal length.  The last one is the macro lens doing a closeup, with all three photos being shot from the same distance.

I decided to take a photo of the moon to test out the zoom lens and was happy with the results.

Managed to get Albis to sit still for a second a couple of times close together. Big difference when using the flash.  Note the change in the aperture due to not needing to take in as much light.

Another good example of the zoom on the 70-300mm lens.

Picture of Pixie, my roommate’s cat.  Really like how her face is clearly seen, but everything else around her is blurry.
