Over the past year, it became apparent that I needed a better digital camera. My old, point and shoot Sony DSC W100, as good as it is, simply has too many limitations and shortcomings .
My long-time interest in amateur photography, combined with my retirement, affords me the opportunity to do the proper research and invest in a better digital single lens camera (DSLR). I have also committed to learn how to manually use a SLR correctly.
With that in mind, and as my winter project, I recently bought a new Canon T1i and started online lessons.

In this post I am blog-testing a few of my latest photos. I should note, for a neophyte DSLR user, the dull-gray skies of winter make for challenging photography conditions. All shots were taken without a flash, using available light.
