Retro Sunday- The Colt Woodsman

Some have watched my attempts to improve the quality of the photos on my humble Blog. I have a friend that I consider a talented photographer, yet he is some distance away and busier than I am.

The fellow Blogger North suggested a camera. I went to Best Buy and got it today. I am also reminded why I do not go to Best Buy. I prefer "One Click" shopping. I stand around for 15 minutes at the cameras. I go to customer service to ask for help in the camera department. Repeat standing around. Someone finally comes up. I point to the Canon I want ( PowerShot SX 130 IS). He disappears to check stock. I have already done that before I came. No I do not want a case, no I do not need a SD card, no I do not need the Best Buy credit card with "double points" or whatever, no I do not need the protection plan on a 200 dollar camera.

So here is the first picture taken in "AUTO" (click to embiggen):

   
















This is a Colt Woodsman .22LR in case you have not figured that out by now! Looks to be a 1957 model. I have not gotten the letter from the Colt Historian yet, but it is forthcoming!

I have not loaded the CD with the manual for the camera yet. Let me know what you think!
