Camera dilemma

I purchased a new camera, Canon S3 IS, last week to replace the Z3 that died a few weeks ago in Virginia. I’ve been playing around with all of the settings and am still not used to everything like I was on my old camera- which is understandable. Although I am starting to get to know my camera better I have been contemplating trading it in for the Canon Digital Rebel XT- I have not yet made my decision. The ability to add filters, additional lenses and focus manually is very appealing to me. I learned about these options at a local photography store, Bangor Photo. I am waiting for them to e-mail me the photos I took with their XT; I want to see how photos look on a DSLR that were taken by me to compare with my S3 IS.

This week has brought warm yet humid free days; the skies are saturated with Cumulus humilis clouds with a beautiful backdrop of vibrant blue. In a few months my favorite season will be here, Autumn. I’m planning on taking few trips this fall and maybe even next month around Maine and Nova Scotia, I want take a boat cruise around some of the island in hopes of taking photos of Whales and Puffins, during October I’ll be driving around the state looking for opportunities to take photos of the foliage.

I made Pizza last night; the dough was not home-made but everything else was purchased and prepared by my hands. The toppings are as follows: Fried Hamburg, Jalapeno, Habanero, Green Peppers, Onion, Mushrooms, and Coca Cola Classic in the 8oz glass bottle. The Pizza came out well; it was hot due to the Habaneros - I think I’ll ease up on them next time. I have been reading food photography tips; I took some advice with this photo of my pizza.
