__**The Camera**__
The camera that I used is a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W80. It is very small, light wait and silver. I also have a memory card with a 2GB capacity.

As I began to explore this camera, something I had been wanting to do for some time but had not done it until it came up in this class, I realized it’s main features other than it’s size and weight are:

1. In addition to pictures it also does video 2. It has the landscape functionality 3. It also has specific dials for night, both with and without flash 4. It has a zoom and a distant setting, low flash, no flash, twilight, but the most important seemed the one that simply said auto setting

After taking several pictures following the course work I began to transfer pictures from the device onto my computer. I simply plugged the camera in through a USB port and my computer recognized it instantly and I was given a choice of what to do... 1. copy 2. print 3. email

so I began to copy many of the photos on to my computer and put them in named folders on my desktop, for easy access. There were over 500 pictures.

I then decided that I was going to photograph the tree in my neighbor's backyard along with it's new guest for this assignment. We had a bad storm last week and stuff was flying all over the place.

This shot is from right under the tree. As you can see there is something in this tree.

Utilizing the Zoom feature the awning becomes much more visible.

From behind you can see the awning a little clearer. The Power Lines coming across give you an idea in regards to height.

This gives you an idea about how big this awing is.
