It has been a while since I posted some camping pictures. So here we go. With my new Canon Rebel XSi, with a 35-128mm, macro capable lens, I took a bunch of pictures as Minnesota’s Wild River State Park. I was along with my friend Melissa, as she also took pictures.

This was my first real field experience with my camera; though I took a bunch of backyard shots at my parents, which I may also upload, but this is the first real dive. There are a few shots with a 70-300mm zoom/macro lens, but I found the other to work much better for the range I was in.

I ended up trimming down the pictures I would normally post here. Picking more of the better shots. I also have a couple of alternate shots of the same scene because I kinda liked both. Still learning aperture and f-stop settings.

On this trip, I also went for a canoe ride, that lasted 2.5 hours (paddling the whole way). … Didn’t put enough sun block on my legs, and got burned up! No fun! Anyway, lots of pictures of flowers, bees, and butterflies! Posted these up on Flickr instead of this site.
