Gumdrops






We had this little white Christmas tree on the kitchen table during the holiday season. It was decorated with a "candy" theme. For the past few years, I have made these gumdrop people to add to it, saving them in ziploc bags from year-to-year cause they take quit some time to create. Notice that each one is wearing a hat, so I'm on theme for today!


These were taken with my Canon 40D and 17-85mm lens. It seems like the few shots I've taken with this new camera are in sharper focus than those taken with my DRebel Xti. Anyone else have experience comparing these two cameras?

I have not shot anything except for the xt, but it seems the pictures taken with your new cam are way more sharp then mine. Those are adorable ornaments!
