New Camera

I got a new camera. It's a Canon S5 IS. I really like it. I also got some lenses for it from www.lensmateonline.com. I got a 52mm adapter tube, a polarizing lens, a UV lens, and a wide angle lens. I finally got to take the camera out for the first time today to get some pics. The odds were against me because Tandi is out of town and all three kids are sick, but I made it to the Gilbert Riparian area.

The sun was very bright, which made adjusting the camera properly difficult, but the pictures came out pretty good I think.

I also took one video. I am really impressed with the quality of the video.
