Forest Preserve – Part 2

Monday, December 18th, 2006

I wanted to say a few words about the new Canon 30D but I didn’t get the chance in my last post. It’s a great camera. I feel professional using it, even if I’m not. It’s heavier than the Digital Rebel (300D) but not much. The biggest problem is that I’m still not used to [...]
