I ventured out to a couple parks this month to take some pictures that turned out a bit better than expected. First Kerry Park:

Hanging out in Kerry Park was lots of fun. I got there early and chatted with some other amateur photographers. One of them had a fancy lens and new Canon he had me look through, recommended a website, and exchanged flickr information. The other gave me some tips on my tripod technique (keep the neck part of the tripod as close to the body as possible to minimize vibrations). Both had Minnesota connections.

Second, Rizal Park:

Rizal Park didn’t have nearly as many people but was equally pretty. I’m still little frustrated by all the dust that’s sitting on the sensor of my camera, so I bought a ‘rocket blaster’ blower (seriously) to try to get rid of it. Hopefully that does the trick for the next time around.
