On a recent work trip to San Francisco, my delightful husband either lost our camera, or it was stolen from his person. Either way, it was a major bummer. But, on the upside, at least it came as the season of holiday shopping specials was upon us! Thus we now have a new member of the family. It doesn't have a name yet, but our new camera is a beautie, and a substantial upgrade. (For those interested in such things, it's a Canon T2i with an upgraded 18-135 IS lens.)
So we took it with us to Montreal. Here are some muckaround pics from there and back at home, taken as we got used to the new machine. (Note: If you click on one of the pics, they'll all come up in a full-size viewer. Handy!)

| See what I did here with the mirror and the lanterns? Huh? Tricky, eh? |

| Said lanterns, cross-processed for colour boost in Aperture. |

| My good man, pre-coffee. |

| Yum. |

| Our Little Italy staple. |
Now, onto some of my efforts to try out the camera's manual capabilities:
 |
| Kitchen light, focused on base. |
 |
| Kitchen light, focused on rim. |
 |
| Souvenir from the Radio City Rockettes - Focus on left (falling) soldier. |
 |
| Focus on soldiers on right. |
 |
| Focus on soldiers at the front of the right-side line. |
And, for randomness:

| The amazing cloak I found at Local 23, a vintage store - or friperie - in Montreal. *Love* |
