Exhibit A

From today’s test run:

J and I took the new camera out for a spin. We went to one of our favourite hangouts- the abandoned leather factory in a neighboring city. Just as I’d predicted, the kit lens was pretty much useless. I stuck with my 50 MM for most of the day. (I like the way it mimics film with added depth.)

The entrance

I’m not sure there aren’t bodies in there somewhere…

Josh, checking his camera settings (and yes, that’s actually the Canon G3- long considered a dinosaur. Still a great cam for a P&S).

We had to be quick in there. J led as I followed:

There were all sorts of goodies in there. 🙂 

J shoots blindly into the dark- 6 second long exposure.

And of course, our trip just wouldn’t have been a typical trip without a visit from our local police!

That’s right. Drive away, sir…

Everything was frozen solid today.

J didn’t seem to mind. The concrete was so slick he could skate easily. We always have a great time. 🙂 .

Taken earlier in the day. Those pants are just wrong. 

My favourite from today- the outside of the abandoned leather factory. (Semi HDR)
