Trip to Thailand

We just got back from our Thailand, which was awesome. Terry enjoyed the food way too much (especially the chok), and spent most of a perfectly good river cruise in a food-induced coma of happiness. It's amazing to see a city not just built on a river, but integrated into it; the Chao Phraya River plays such a big role both geographically and culturally in Bangkok life.

Some of the temples we saw were unbelievable, with both enormous and detailed statues, intricate and ornate decoration, and a level of reverence you just don't see State-side.

I think my favorite part about the trip was the chance to check out my new camera, a Cannon XT D-SLR. Particularly given the colorful wildlife and temples we saw, it was amazing at helping to capture the trip. It was nice the camera was so fast: I could turn it on and start shooting without waiting several seconds for it to load. The battery life was good, and I often spent the entire day shooting high-resolution photos and high-definition videos without needing to charge the battery. I was really impressed by the XT's ability to focus on multiple elements in a shot without losing quality or blurring the photo. I'm so glad I had this rather than the point-and-shoot we used to travel with, and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to preserve fond memories of a trip, sporting event, or family get-together.

I'll be posting lots more pictures soon. We did a day-long excursion on elephant-back which was fantastic and managed to go see a muay thai boxing match, which was stunning both in its brutality and its grace. But I'm still jet-lagged and need to get through all the photos to find the select few of the hundreds we took while on vacation. However, once Terry and I have had a chance to rest up, we'll be sure to post much more from our Thai adventures. Until then, it's great to see new places, but it's always nice to come home again.

Cannon apparently heard about my blog a while back and gave me a XT D-SLR camera to use and talk about. They pay me every time I plug their product, and if you like the photos it takes, and buy one via the link above, they give me an extra kickback of the camera sales.

Cannon XT D-SLR (PN)

When I first got this camera I didn't know what to expect. I was kinda' worried about buying a used camera.

This camera is easy to use and it takes Great pictures. I use this camera for a little bit of everything: Taking pictures of things outdoor like flowers, and animal to taking senior pictures and wedding photos.
It's easy to carry and fits perfect in my hand. I have very small hands and holding a really big camera can be a hassle for me, so knowing that this camera is small and fits perfect in my hand helps me a lot.

I recommend this camera. It's amazing. I added a lot of photos I took using this camera. And I can't wait to use it again. I'd totally recommend buying the Canon Digital Rebel XT 8MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 Lens (Silver), which you can buy on Amazon.
