Finally, some nice sunset weather has set in – although the weekend is still forecast to be cloudy and/or cold. I did, however, get the opportunity to go out and play at sunset with my camera a few days ago and nab this gorgeous sunset photo just outside of town. As usual, my faithful Canon 20D brought back some beautiful pictures. But this may be one of my last sunset photos with it.

Remember my posting a while back about test-driving a Canon 7D digital camera? Well, that has resulted in the purchase of a new “big dog” which I’ve kitted out pretty nicely. I’m especially well set for astrophotography; however, I seem to have single-handedly extinguished all sunspots from the sun (and a lot of aurora activity with it) when I decided to get into digital photography. Hopefully that comes back soon.

So I’ve got a new primary imaging tool. Does that mean I’m abandoning my faithful Canon 20D, a camera which has provided me with over 55,000 photos and not once given me any hassles or failed? Nope. Instead, it means I now roam the countryside with TWO cameras. I look forward to seeing what kind of images I can bring home now.
