These are the voyages of the Camera Beatrice. Her mission - to explore strange new focus points. To seek out new life and new custom settings. To boldly go where I have never been before.
Beatrice's Log - a study of a 7D and her actuation count...
Here it is - my first picture with my new Canon 7D. It came in the mail today, I charged the battery and on a rainy July afternoon I started to get to know my new camera...who shall henceforth be known as Beatrice.
I started with my back yard. Here are the first 100-ish photos.
0001 - My boy Duncan practically glowing in the cloudy, color saturated afternoon light.

0025 rain drops disturbing the water surface in a hanging bird bath 40mm lens | 
0043 Pink Geraniums testing out my telephoto lens - 70-300mm. I manual focused this one y'all. | 
0045 rain drops on a Norfolk Island Pine tree. I bumped up the shutter speed to get the darker image. |
0049 Cuban Tree Frogs hiding (not well) inside of a saturated Italian pride windsock. | 
0052 Snail! | 
0062 Parker is not impressed. |
0067 Duncan, inside lighting. He's not sure about the new camera. | 
0073 Yup, the flash works. | 
0075 Yay for Depth of Field. See how Sylvie's face is in focus but the rest isn't? |
0091 Paint brushes. | 
0097 My Little Ponies and some snail ornaments. Nice, saturated colors. I'm still working a narrow depth of field. | 
0102 You can REALLY see depth of field here. Only her nose and a narrow slice of her paws are in focus. Also, Daphne's not sure about the flash. |
All in all a good first little outing. I don't have my UV filters for my lenses so I didn't venture too far from the house today. Soon I'll have all of the accoutrements and we can see what this new girl can really do. I'm excited. It's a new adventure...leading to my making a video for AAZK by the end of this year. But so many other adventures to go on first. I have a new camera and am itching to use it...want to be a subject and let me work on my portrait, candid, action or low light photography? Just let me know!
