1st Cottage Visit 2011

These are some pictures that I took while spending my first summer afternoon this year at the lake cottage.  I took more than 50 shots.  These are the best of the bunch.

I'm really enjoying my new Nikon D7000 camera. 

I also really  like the metering in the D7000.  I'd owned only a Nikon D80 prior to my purchase of the D7000 and the metering in that camera is awful.  Quite often the camera will tell me that the shot is totally under exposed, but upon review after I've taken the shot, the picture is fine. 

The fps speed of the Nikon D80 is also extremely lacking.  At best I was only able to take shots at a rate of 3 - 4 fps.  The D7000 is easily double that rate.  The shutter button is so sensitive that I often take 2 - 3 shots before I even realize that I'd depressed the button.
