Testing the camera

This morning was spent testing out and getting familiar with my new Canon SX30IS Camera. I can already tell this is the most amazing camera I have ever owned. Just the zoom feature alone will be very useful for the type of photography I do.It sure was nice of me to get this for me. The 14.1 megapixel resolution sure enhances the pictures, too. Here are some of the shots I took this morning.

This is my position looking down the street. There is a pick-up truck at the end of the street under the awning which can just barely be see if you double click the picture.

Here is what the truck looks like on zoom from the same position. Notice you can even read the license plate.

Here's a view looking out at the lake. Notice the white spot in front of the far dock.

Here the white spot is zoomed in and appears to be a couple of pelicans out for a morning swim.

Here's a view from the upper road in the park looking towards the main gate. Notice the flag pole in the center of the picture.

From the same spot where the last picture was taken I was able to zoom in and capture this picture of the flag.

Today some time will be spent at Canon College trying to wrap my pea brain around some to the many features of this remarkable piece of machinery. I will be enjoying the good life unless my brain goes into overload, the I will still be enjoying the good life, I'll just be oblivious to it.
