Off to Italy soon!

Hi, Jamsus!

Had a wonderful trip. I posted two pix in the picture of the week, but will post here also for convenience, along with a few others.

We had no trouble with pickpockets, but did see a plainclothes officer arresting one on the platform for the Circumvesuviana train to Pompeii.

Pizza did not last long enough on the table to take a picture!

The Sl1 with the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 (non-VC) was a perfect size and weight, and this combo performed well. I don't think a better camera would have improved anything, just a better photographer. Table-top tripod permitted the fireworks picture.
