‘Test drive’ — check mark?

Took this photo — camera image #0002 — at the campus Student Recreation Center just so I could go through the process of getting images off the camera onto my laptop before we head off to Alaska within the next week.

I shot it symmetrically, with the vertical beam dead-center. While my inner mathematician rejoices in symmetry, photographic aesthetics are not always so. So this is a more creative crop. I see the oblique tubes as a check-mark, ✓.

Here's a 365-quirk: this image does not show up for one of its own tags: “point&shoot”!

Nice shot with the new camera. How easily is the transfer to your computer?

@thewatersphotos Obviously, I eventually got it to work, but it wasn't easy the first time. The camera must connect to the home WiFi and the computer and camera have to be able to "see" each other. I had a devil-of-a-time doing it again a couple days ago after shooting some frames and video on the lake, but it went smoothly after I rebooted my laptop. So maybe it's just a crap-shoot each time? We'll see! The fourth USB cable I tried does fit the camera (from my GoPro), so I have that back-up if wireless fails again.
