Last Thursday was the 1st Grade production of the Three Piggy Opera. You know the story — huff, puff etc.

Douglas was a Stick Peddler. I got some okay shots, but this was the first time I wished for the control that an SLR gives you. They somewhat dimmed the lights, and the lens on my little Canon Digital Elph just couldn’t cope with distance and dimness. So we may start looking around, pricing the options. Maybe for Christmas.

But I still don’t want all that weight when we are on the move, sightseeing, hiking etc., so I suspect the point and shoot will always be with me.

Here’s a picture of Douglas saying his lines. I softened the image (soft focus) and then focused on him (focal B&W) using Picasa.
