Ok.....for any of you who really want to know....I gave Chris a kiss first before reaching for the camera. Well, not quite actually. I arrived at the airport in Orlando just as Chris's "touchdown" text message arrived on my phone. I decided to drive right to the arrivals area but she was not yet outside. The parking police told me I had to keep circling out of and then back into the arrivals area or risk getting a ticket. Three or four circles later, out she came. She barely had time to throw her carry on bag and my new camera into the back seat before an overzealous parking attendant was threatening us with a ticket. Welcome to Orlando. I wished her a good day and we were off.
We stopped for a quick bite in Orlando before heading back to Sebring via some of the backroads instead of Hwy 27. There is some interesting scenery around here once you get off the beaten path.
We played pickleball for a couple of hours this morning before heading back to shower up and then it was off to Circuit City. One little oversight with my new camera was the memory card it used. I had assumed incorrectly, after talking to the staff at Henry's before we left for Florida, that the 5D2 used the same SDHC memory cards I used in my Rebel XSi. Wrong! Turns out it uses compact flash cards instead. So we hit Circuit City, where I purchased one Lexar 4 GB CF card.

Then it was off to Highlands Hammock State Park. We wandered around the trails and boardwalks there for about three hours this afternoon. Me taking pictures with my new 5D2 and Chris using her new (my old) XSi. We both had a lot of fun. Chris really enjoyed her first in the park.
Presently, the 5D2 pictures are not fully importable into Lightroom 2.1 nor Photoshop CS3. Adobe is supposed to release a LR2 upgrade later this month so photos can be imported into LR2. There will no such upgrade for CS3 however. May have to look at CS4 eventually. The above photo is of a spider we both saw in the park! Focus is a little off because I was hand holding the camera. Didn't want to get too close to this baby either.
