We’ve been back for a week but this is my first chance at posting pictures. I brought my old Rebel down to the beach since I didn’t want to lug the 1DMKII and managed to shoot some pictures before the shutter failed. I had just gotten some good pictures of all the kids when I decided to look at the images on the LCD when I noticed that the bottom half of the latest pictures was all black. The trusty Rebel has bitten the dust. Given its age and the cost to repair, I’m better off buying a used 20D as a backup rather than getting it fixed.
But I got some decent pictures, I think. At least good enough for a Christmas card coming to you in about 4 months! And this year we went with a good friend of mine from law school, so we had 11 folks total at the beach. It was loads of fun and as usual, very relaxing. I hesitate to even post the name of the place because we like having it all to ourselves!
As usual, click on the picture to launch the full gallery.

Sounds as if everyone had a grand time. Great photos and nice to see Tracy’s family as well.
