Ducks

My kids love ducks. I love my Canon G9.

Sometimes you have to be patient

You can't always get the shot you want, and it's not always your fault. Sometimes you are ready, in place, prepared, have the right lens, and the color in the sky is not right, or the water is too rough, etc. Last week was one of those times, and luckily, I was on location for 6 nights, and on the 5th night, it all came together. I had this shot in mind most of the week but everything needed to be perfect, so on Thursday night when the water was still and the clouds gave the sunset the color I was wanting, I told Jake to get in the canoe and row me out there!



Now that's what I'm talking about! It is also another reminder that the camera doesn't matter as much as the photographer. I took this with my new point and shoot, the Canon G9!

First shots with the Canon G9

Still in Canada and things are going great. I haven't had a lot of time to take pictures but I thought I'd show you some of my favorites so far. Remember that all of these were taken with my new Canon G9 (pictured below) which is a point and shoot camera. It just goes to prove that no matter what camera you have, if you learn to use it, and you have a good subject, you can take great pictures.
