I took a trip to Kenora Ontario this last weekend and put up a few pictures on the photo gallery.

Kenora is a beautiful town and a lot hasn’t changed in the last 20 years.

I got to meet the owner of the Pinewood Restaurant & Gift Shop whose name is Ken. We spoke for probably 30 minutes and it was very enjoyable.

Pinewood is known for it’s fudge, and the waterfall in it’s restaurant. It’s a very memorable place. Ken’s wife Pam (I did not get to meet her) makes the MOST amazing fudge ever. And if you’re ever on the way to Kenora from the west you must stop in and get some and tell him Bruce said hello.

So I broke down the other day and finally got a new camera and lens. I haven’t updated my camera equipment in two years so I figured it was time for a little bit of an update.

The new camera is a Canon Rebel T1i, it’s a little different than the Rebel XT that I already own so it’s taking a bit to figure out the menu. Overall I’m impressed with the picture quality and the speed of the camera is much better than the XT.

The new lens is a Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 EX DC HSM. I’ve never used a wide angle lens before and I’m pretty impressed with this one. If you’re looking for wide angle I’d suggest this one as it’s quality is on par with Canon’s lens at 60% of the cost.

That brings the corral to the following
Canon Rebel T1i
Canon Rebel XT
Sigma 10-20mm
Canon 18-55mm
Canon 18-55mm
Canon 75-300mm

I’m off to drive around next weekend and I’ll be taking some pictures along the way. I’ll post some nice ones after the weekend.
