Testing my digital

I started out a film photographer Popup Linkthe most famous door in St. Augustine and have enjoyed amateur photography for several years.  Recently though I took up a small digital point and shoot and have been putting it through its paces.  I think I found its limits, but I am satisfied with the results.  Popup LinkA1A Alehouse I started taking some night shots around St. Augustine, Fl, testing what I could do.  Popup Linkspanish fort #1  I shot a lot of the popular tourist spots by night, trying to get more original shots of the local tourist sites.  Popup Linkholiest acre This cross marks the spot of the first Christian consecrated land in America.  Popup LinkEpiscopal church I loved the abstract appearance of this steeple by night.

My wife and I spent the evening of July 4th sitting on the deck of a local restaurant where we had a good view of the fireworks.  I shot several photos there, both the daylight scenery and after dark.  Popup Linkpier next to the restaurant Popup Linkpier after dark   Popup Linkfreeway and dock

Last photo is a shot I used in sepia mode of the walkway of our temporary draw bridge.  Popup Linknight walk

I think I get my money's worth out of the camera.  My instructors at college always encouraged us to look at things with a new eye, and this camera has helped me do that.
