I bought a new camera and lenses earlier this week and needed to practice using the equipment before vacation in three weeks. Yesterday was a beautiful day with few clouds and blue skies — perfect for trying a number of the options on the Canon Rebel SXi. I have been to Historic Smithville Park for [...]
