I Guess All I Do Is Screw Around

Well, yesterday was my last "scheduled" digital photography class.  The instructor is going to try to put a "bonus" class together later in May that hopefully I can make also.  Yesterday we went to Wind Cave and Custer State Park to get outside for some hands on "figuring this thing out".  If I'm going to get serious about this, I probably ought to load my Canon Software onto the computer to really be able to do touch-up work to the photo's but I'm just not sure I'm that serious about it!  So, here's some more sights of South Dakota while I was out "playing with the new camera".

Pasqueflower, South Dakota State Flower



This is a pretty newby buffalo calf.


Can you see the coyote?

Prairie dog.....they won't let you shoot them in Custer State Park.

Lots of buffalo in the park.

So, I took a lot of help from the program I do have on the computer for this one.
It wasn't near so green yesterday.

Playing with the new camera

Been playing with the new camera a little after starting my "Photography Class".  I'm learning; or at least trying!

 
Sunrise over Bear Butte 4/6/11.
I even used the manual settings on this.  OK, so maybe I'm bragging just a little!

Tom's working out the pecking order 4/5/11 in the back yard.
Again, manual settings, I know it's dark, bear with me....

And the winner of the pecking order.  I'm thinking he would be pretty tasty!
(Auto setting, over exposed just a touch.  See, I AM learning stuff in this class!)

There was a total of 22 toms, hens and jakes.  They just wouldn't get together for a "group shot"!
