my canon 50D

I am taking a short break from my water photos today.

I am just eager to share a photo which I took with my new Canon 50D (a birthday gift from my husband).

One big improvement that I immediately saw with this camera is its performance in low light. I just tried the camera last night and got this clear, crisp night photo.

The camera is a little heavy, much heavier than my 350D and it has a rather weird placement for its "on - off" button. However, the photos are sharp and crisp even in low light. I am so happy with my new toy.

city lights

This is my first city lights shot. I have not tried this before. It just so happened that the hotel we stayed in last time has windows that overlook the city. The skyline is fantastic at night with all the city lights. I just had to take a picture. The rays of light at the lower part of the photo come from lights that illuminate workers who are on night shift. They are building another hotel just beside the one we were in.
