Canon G7

I recently purchased a Canon PowerShot G7 and absolutely love it.

New G-Series Flagship Incorporates Latest Canon Technologies

Canon’s acclaimed G-Series has a new top-of-the-line model, and serious photography enthusiasts have a lot to be excited about. A matte black, retro-hip design houses impressive capabilities and top core specifications, including 10.0 megapixel resolution and a powerful 6x optical zoom. Loaded with Canon’s latest and most advanced technologies, including an Optical Image Stabilizer for clear shots throughout the zoom range, PowerShot G7 is a camera to be reckoned with.

Turkey Vulture

Turkey Vulture

I was sitting on the porch this summer and heard a loud flopping sound on the side roof. There were two turkey vultures who seemed rather out of sorts. The one regained his posture and flew over a couple of feet to the stump-like branch where I captured this photo taken on August 8, 2006 with Canon A520.

Loner Goose

Lone Goose

In a flock of up to 60, this lone Canada Goose hanges around all year long. I ran across him hiking through light marsh to the water. He was looking at me…right before waddling into the water (him not me). Taken in a small series on January 8, 2007 with Canon A520.

My TuneFeed Playlist

Posted by Ben on January 12th, 2007
TuneFeed by Faces.com

You may have noticed (on the left bar) you will see my Faces.com TuneFeed. It’s a REALLY cool little (embedded) player that hosts your playlist(s) which Faces.com stores for you free (up to 100mg) or for a very small fee you can upload an unlimited playlist.

I change the ‘playlist’ every so often as the mood strikes me. Just hit the arrow ‘play’ button to listen to a sample of my favorites. There are only a select few and I guarantee you will like at least one of them - so hit play (the rt. arrow) …go ahead…hit play….now….do it. ;-)
