This journal documents my experiences with a Canon 50D, my first DSLR camera, purchased on Oct. 16, 2008. The camera was end-of-lined by Canon in July 2010 and the 60D was announced.

These are fireworks from the enthusiast down the street, photographed from my balcony. I played with various exposures (I forgot how to enable Bulb Mode again; I think it's found in the Manual mode).
