My new camera, Jim's new clubs

This free camera course is taught by an extremely nice man who is willing to help these 6 senior women in the course with the most basic things...he's printing up manuals from the Internet for some of those who don't have them,  getting some special software to retrieve a photo one of the women erased by mistake....didn't know you could do that!

Although it was billed as an DSLR course,  I'm the only one who has one...the others have point and shoots.  Didn't faze the instructor.  I imagine he is used to this.  His father was a professional photographer and he seems to be a wealth of knowledge and has absolute patience.

So far just taking photos from the balcony but now that we're pretty settled in and the big to-do list is crossed off I'll get out and take some more photos of other scenes.

Jim left his clubs in Palm Springs and went out to Sports Junkies and got all the clubs he needs and great brands like Taylor Made Burners for around $175.  He was thrilled.

We get so many great cloud formation views...can't wait to learn how to capture these better and experiment using my tripod.
