Amateur Photographer Suz!

For my birthday, I got a new camera. It's not a super-fancy SLR, but it is a high-quality digital manual with a great lens and lots of options. This purchase was just in time for my one-week March vacation, and I took the camera on a road trip to try it out.

I still have lots to learn about taking pictures with my camera-- especially how to deal with different kinds of light and make the colors in my pictures come out true. Nevertheless, my photographic dabbling greatly enhanced my enjoyment of my trip. Here are a few of the shots I am most proud of.

Wooz-booz! I don't think the colors came out that weird at all. I will have to check out your Picasa link, but they look fine to me. You had me convinced it was all going to be like those green night-vision goggles. :)

No- I "antiqued" them all on iPhoto (which made them warmer, but a little granier too, methinks.)

...With the exception of the one of the Tucson bike path. That was before I seem to have accidentally switched the white balance down to tungsten (this is bad-ass photo lingo my photo-friend McKenzie taught me).
