We had the SX40, then an SX50, and now both have Canon SX60s. They're great cameras, and we take them everywhere (hiking, biking, kayaking). One trick for stabilizing the photo when using the zoom is to put the camera around your neck, extend your arms, and keep the strap tight. It helps keep the camera steady.

I've been reading the manual trying to learn what else it can do. I do use Picassa for some photo editing but mainly just minor adjustments to the brightness and sharpness, so if you aren't doing that it could be why there is a difference.<br />We were in the 89.5% zone of the eclipse but it didn't get any darker than if a cloud passed over the sun. Guess you had to be in the totality to appreciate it.<br />GayleJim and Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982110996137470496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-29182030555695277162017-08-22T13:04:59.932-07:002017-08-22T13:04:59.932-07:00Looks like a good campground at a sweet price.

I wonder if your friend set it for such brightness or is that just fantastic Colorado? I have the Canon SX50 and love it but don't think my pictures are as good as yours. Glad Jim got his bike safely. You guys are something if you could put it together and tune it up yourselves. Real pro bicyclers. Love all your little things on the trail. I was also the odd man out in my non excitement over the eclipse. The pictures others took are great though. Perhaps if I'd been in some place where it actually got dark.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-79690983732167080392017-08-22T09:58:24.747-07:002017-08-22T09:58:24.747-07:00you know there is a great trail up Pike's Peak...you know there is a great trail up Pike's Peak from Manitou Springs😜Bobbie Johnson Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950693722720827895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-27187648984797814542017-08-22T08:35:11.499-07:002017-08-22T08:35:11.499-07:00If you check out other videos you will see it is b...If you check out other videos you will see it is battery powered.

I would have enjoyed sipping a beer and watching how many times it took you to get the chain properly adjusted. You'll have to post a video of you cruising on the recumbent.

John was wondering if the bike kept coasting when you stopped walking. They video didn't really show that. But I like the idea better than pedaling.
