Photo Album
Photos - Just before my folks left last weekend to return to the midwest, they wanted the kids to open a few gifts. As you'll see in these photos, most were winter coats. My folks wanted to make sure that they fit. They also didn't want them to wait until winter was half over before using them. *grin* Tonight I got in a mood to work on some pictures, so I cranked through them and posted this album. Or just click on the thumbnail to the right.
At the end of the album are three pictures I took on a tripod without a flash in a vain attempt to capture some Christmas lighting around the house. While I like my auxiliary flash, when I use it, it washes out the Christmas lights. Unlike my Nikon 35mm SLR, this Nikon digital camera has a lot of trouble in low lighting conditions. Focusing is difficult, signal to noise ratio on the image sensor is awful, color casts, etc. Alas, I tried and you can see what was salvageable from the attempt.
