ok I thought that it was time for some new photos so since I was suspended from work I decided to put the new digital camera my christmas present to myself to use.its only been sitting on my desk doing nothing ;-) I had stumbled on a great spot when my girl and I were trying to locate a friends wedding a while back. so I pack my tripod, camera and off I go. being a country boy I decided to start out in the woods, took a few photos of the scene befored heading into the woods. I finally found a ridge that was perfect climbed up the steep hill with my gear, set up the camera on the tripod, even made sure to zoom in a little, set the timer..got in position...press the shutter which starts the 10 second timer....race back in position...camera shuts off..turns out the batteries died. packed everything up hiked back to the car and couldnt find a battery to save my life. went home cause I had to get ready for church with my mom took her someplace she always wanted to go. after church I hurried home changed and back to spot...I did stop and get batteries ;-) and was finally able to get some new photos of myself. im going to be spending a lot of time at the place I found it is soooo relaxing. will post the pics soon just thought you would all enjoy the luck I had lol
