I spent part of November staying at the beach near Santa Barbara, which is great for a photography habit like mine. So here are some photos.



I just resized them - sorry about that - they were HUGE!

You are so talented with a camera!   I'm guessing these are digital, right?  I HATE my digital camera.  I started using a 35 mm a few years ago and love it.  My digital is a pain in my arse!  It's and HP and after 1-2 photos it tells me low battery, even when I just put in new ones!!  I HATE IT!!!!!!

I use a digital SLR 35 mm camera.
I had the same problem until i found out that I needed to turn the screen off, or set it so it goes off quickly to not drain the battery. Another tip is to only use long lasting batteries - NiMH batteries lasted almost twice as long as regular batteries. What size battery does it use?

Double A's.  I hardly ever use the screen, because I that was the problem.  But it doesn't matter.  I take one or two photos and it will say low battery and shut off.  Maybe there is something else that is causing the problem.  But when I turn the camera back on it says the batteries are fully charged.  Crazy!
