After years of griping, I got a new camera with the proceeds of some of the jobs I've been doing lately. It's a Canon PowerShot A720, which means it's small and light, takes bigger pictures (up to 8MB), and has more zoom (6x optical). It's also easy to find the features. I think I know as much about it after two days as I do about my other camera after four years.
At full zoom, it froze Sarah in space. The stabilization seems pretty good. This is from yesterday's Harvest Festival in Wilbraham.
Also at the festival, Sarah rode a horse for the first time. Of course, I was somewhere else, taking the wagon back to the car. With the camera in my pocket. This shot of Sarah's friend Emily taking her first ride gives an idea of what I might have missed.
Today, Sarah's soccer team won its fourth (and last) game of the season. Here's an action shot that also shows her face pretty well.
Lastly, I played with the low-light setting on the way home from the festival last night, and captured this composition in downtown Springfield, MA. I call it "The Invisible Hand," despite the obvious flaw in the title.
