If Anyone Can, Canon Can

I've being playing with my new Canon EOS 500D camera all weekend, pretending I know what I'm doing.

I've had a SLR camera before in the old days of film, but I haven't had a DSLR before.

Everyone takes pictures of rusty containers for some reason...do I win a prize? No. I thought not.

...and of course the obligatory sunset and birds picture (Rooks).

This is a tree. I should put some clever F stop and shutter speed info I suppose.

People also take close ups of berries don't they?

...and the old blurred background thingy.

Watch my ears, watch my ears...

Keep watching...

Just building up enough speed...

There we go!!   The servo mode is quite good.

Okay, we're bored with trees now. It because they don't move isn't it?

Ah yes... Note the way the picture leads you away from the foreground to the background. Still no prize?

Would you please stand still. This is a new bit of kit!! Give us a chance.

Oh well. Back to things that don't move.

Thanks for the visit.

Pablo.
