This is sort of an on going series for me. Since I am only home for short periods of time, my back yard and home take on an ethereal feel for me.
Archer had fun in the lovely back field that was planted this year behind our house.
There is something about the “wide openness” of Maine, more so in The Valley and Aroostook County.
Archer enjoying the huge back yard, and his big ball he loves to lick for hours.
There really is no place like home.
Backyard can be fun. I tend to shoot back there often, since I’ve land and several different perspectives.
I love that I have a potato field to one side, the view of the church on the other, the river just beyond that and the RR Tracks.
So I finally gave in and got a new camera. To most people, that’s not a big thing, for me – its HUGE.
1st, which one do you get? 2nd, how much do I pay? 3rd, what features do I want?
I never have been one to make big purchases, but I put aside a few bucks every week and started researching. It came down between the T5, the T5i, and the SL1 (all Canons as I’ve a great 18-270 lens).
I settled on the T5i, mostly for the sensor review. I ordered it from Abe’s of Maine, out of New Jersey (I don’t ask questions!). I got an email from the company and I had to call them, I found out that the battery life with the normal battery sucks, so I tagged on a purchase of a super sized battery.
My 1st round of taking pictures was a nice sunset along the tracks.
Getting use to a new camera is always a curve. How it feels, the settings, where the buttons are. Thankfully, most cameras are standard, but there is ALWAYS different things you can do. I’ve still got a few kinks to work out!
