Snap happy

Well I've had the new camera since Friday and have been snapping away ever since. So many features and options though it is quite overwhelming. It'll be a long time before I'll have learned half of the things this camera is capable of.

So far I'm quite pleased with it in all regards. It has a very fast shutter rate, accurate auto focus, quick function changes on the go and some incredibly fancy features I have yet to even use!

Here's a sampling of some of the better shots that have come out of the camera. I have a lot to learn yet, including some fancy post editing with programs like Photoshop to truly get the most out of each picture.

My roommate Mike's new car - Acura RSX-S.

A coworker (Geoff) caught on the Jet staircase shot through a chainlink fence zoomed in.

I'll likely have more pics on the blog from now on as a result of the new camera. I'll want to try all sorts of different techniques and I'll post 'em all up for critique and Oooo's and Ahhh's.. :)

So what do ya all think?
