New Camera

I have had a yearning now for a decent camera to use in Colorado. The mobiles simply can't begin to convey the views here and I am so fed up of washed out, poor quality shots all the time.

I contacted a local camera shop who have a consignment and secondhand section. I didn't want to buy one from the internet as there is no come back or support afterwards, we knew we would pay a little more from the shop, but that was ok as long as we could get a good deal.

We popped into Englewood Camera shop and it was meant to be a pretty quick in and out. Of course, it didn't work that way. The assistant was super helpful and showed us three different cameras. He talked through the ups and downs of each and which one would be best suited to my needs. I am a total beginner so wanted something simple to use, but something I wouldn't be frustrated with in six months or so either. Eventually we chose a Canon EOS 60D, plus a great zoom lens, camera backpack, memory card etc. Fully kitted out, I couldn't wait to get out and have a play!

The next day we hiked Lair O' the Bear park in Kitteridge and took my new camera. I had a wonderful time snapping away and although I have huge amounts to learn, I got off a few lucky shots. Its a wonderful camera and such a beautiful area that I am excited to see what I can start to get shots of!

Our next trip is a longer road trip to Moab, Utah. We are stopping over in Glenwood Springs for a night then onto Moab for a few days after that. I should be able to get some great photos during the trip and it will be our first time out of state since we arrived! Super excited- Red Rocks here we come!
