If there’s one thing I learned during my camping trip to Bon Echo Provincial Park this weekend, its that I am a lightweight when it comes to SLR cameras.

I’ll openly admit that the Nikon D70 is a befuddling piece of equipment that, at this point, is a bit out of sorts in my hands. I’m going to take an orientation course and hopefully get matters under control. It occurred to me this weekend that I’ve had a digital camera for as long as I’ve cared to take photos, and that any film cameras I’ve owned were of the sub-$10 variety.

There are a few pictures up, but nothing spectacular. The whole progression of pictures was taken over two hours or so and consisted mostly of me playing with buttons.

On a different topic, our camp site was horrendous. It was essentially a 4-car parking lot stuffed between the men’s outhouse, a public water tap, and an intersection. Bon Echo was a much more impressive park back when I was a kid and hadn’t seen anything better.

Anyhow, I’ve taken vacation this week, so hopefully you’ll see some additional (better quality) pictures in the coming days.
