A perfect day, a perfect face. Brackettville girls are lovely.

She was a natural. I've never really shot people before but all I had to do was point the camera at her and she filled up the shot with perfection. Because of her, I want to do some portrait work now!

My Camera

Somewhere around here I've got a Canon AE1, but I haven't used it in years. I hope I get back to using it again one day. Especially as it was my first REAL camera. It was also a gift, thank you Darbee!

For the most part, I use my Canon Powershot S3 IS and a few accessories to go with it. Nothing fancy. The tele-converter lens is just a bump in magnification. The lenses are useless so far as I can tell unless you WANT to ruin your shots. I LOVE the power cord--I can plug it into the wall for still shots or portraits and there's almost no waiting for the flash to recharge. Too bad I can't find a way to make it shoot that fast with batteries.

The hood is handy and I leave the lens adapter on the camera 90% of the time. Don't have an external flash for it, yet. But what I really really want for it is a fisheye lens for evening and nighttime sky shots!

It does a pretty decent job of macro shots just as it is, but having a macro lens for it wouldn't hurt my feelings.

The articulating screen rocks. The pop-up flash is the worst thing about the camera, really. The newer models have a hot shoe instead of a pop-up. I bet that's NICE!

I look forward to upgrading this camera in another year or so to the S5. I've gotten used to the Powershot features and I'm not sure I care to learn a new camera. Let alone invest in something new and different. Not unless I find a way to make a money at photography somehow!
