My camera has a brain. (good thing cause I don't!) I also have a dog named Spencer. He gets down on his belly and plays with the kittens. A camera's great for catching the critters in the act. It's also great for those Bryce photo textures. I'm hoping to do some things I saw years ago in the photo mags like taking waterfalls with a looooong exposure. Welcome to the world of the shutter enabled! You won't regret it.
