Default ........New Camera = New Pics.......

Took advantage of a rare, sunny, 50+ degree day last Friday to get the vette out and take some pics.
These are the first I've shot with my new camera Darla gave me for Christmas. It's a 'Canon 5D-MKII' and is simply amazing!
Got a long learning curve ahead before I get anywhere familar with all the features this thing has but pleased with a few of the first shots I took.











Not anything special in the photo's below, just a couple 'hand-held' night shots to demostrate the low light capabilities this camera has!

The night shots are impressive!! Did you use a tripod? Are they single- or multiple exposures?
