A garden shot from my new Sony A35 with my Minolta 50mm f/1.7.....think I'm liking this camera.

A garden shot from my new Sony A35 with my Minolta 50mm f/1.7.....love the way the sun kinda put the spotlight on this one little patch.

Mucking around with my Sony A35. What I really like about this camera is it gives me the absolute freedom to shoot in complete Manual mode, something I never really dared to do before. Although I'm not really crazy about the EVF, it does give you the advantage of totally eyeballing your shot before you actually take it. That right there makes this little machine a keeper in my book.

One of my first pics with my new SLT A35. Still working out the "kinks" so to speak...it's quite different to shoot with as opposed to my A230, but I'm sure it won't take me too long to get it right.

Trying out some of my lenses on my new Sony A35....

A shot of a rather overloaded honeybee taking a breather. Blooming flowers are rather scarce during Winter, so when this plucky lil fella hit the jackpot on my neighbor's hedge, he went slightly overboard with the collecting and found that he couldn't get airborne again. Every time he'd try, he'd list about like a helicopter in a windstorm then fall back onto the bloom, losing half his bundle in the process...by the time I'd gotten this shot, he'd already crash landed about 5 times and was pretty much exhausted. He eventually made it though...tough little critters, boy!
