My artsy photo
 
Just got back tonight from a jaunt into the Smoky Mountains. I was delighted with the performance of my new Canon pocket camera (SD700is). I am NOT very artistic, and am constantly amazed at the talents of those who are (MD and others). Here is my one attempt at being "artsy".

I think it's excellent--nice.

Also, I forgot to mention seeing a convoy of 8-10 hard-top X4's, led by two BMW motorcycles, on the "Tail of the Dragon" (US 129) at the NC/TN border. If any of you have driven this area, you will know why it is called the Dragon. It has 318 curves in 11 miles. When I had finally made it through and stopped for gas, I noticed one biker stop just after me and he was literally shaking with residual adrenaline/fear.

Nice pic Doc. Pretty cool what those little Canons can do.

Nice pic STATDOC. How do you like the Image Stabilizer function of the SD700IS? I was thinking of picking up one of these for a quick point & shoot.

It works incredibly well. The first shots I took were at my son's soccer game a week or so ago. Very sharp, even when zoomed in from ~40-50 meters away. Action frozen solid. All this on auto mode. I haven't even bothered to use any manual features.

I think it's a great shot Doc (the artsy one, not the manboobs) :rofl:

318 twisties in 11 miles, :) :thumbup: Sounds like heaven to me.
