Thanks to everyone! AC is a place to share... although I pray that the pristine beauty here never gets exploited by the greedy.
HavinFun, I also have used my Canon EOS Rebel for years, and adding the Digital Rebel to my photographing fun was the smartest thing to do... a hard jump from film to digital , but worth it. This trip was my first use of the digital Rebel, and I am thrilled with it's performance to say the least.
Again, you all are so gracious... it's been a wonderful adventure... and remember that "travel is not about the destination, it's the journey!"
