Five years after the original AE-1 was introduced, Canon brought out an excellent upgraded version in 1981, known as the AE-1 Program or AE-1P in short. The major difference was the addition of the Program AE mode which sets both the shutter speed and aperture automatically.

I came into possession of this camera several years ago and thoughtlessly set it aside. Now it’s time to dust it off and see what this old SLR classic can do.

With it is a FD 35-105mm f3.5 zoom lens. This should get me started. Now I plan to look over the manual for the camera and buy a roll of film.

I have to admit… I’m just a little bit giddy. This should be fun.

Out on a hot summer drive, thankful that our car has an air conditioner.

This year we had the best seats ever to watch the fireworks. Happy 4th of July!

My pictures didn’t turn out quite as good as I had hoped but that’s what happens when you neglect to bring a tripod.

One of my top most favorite flowers since high school has been daisies. They grow wild all over the place but their simplicity and bright yellow centers make me smile.

I like the translucency of the petals in this picture.
