My Very First Digital SLR

April 16, 2008
YAY!!! It finally came! Chris and I got our new camera this afternoon! Waiting for it to come in the mail was like waiting for Christmas; it seemed to take forever!!!! I was really anxious to start using it as soon as I got it out of the box. Here are a couple photos that I took just messing around with the automatic setting. .  .  . dsc_0007.JPG dsc_0005.JPG dsc_0001.JPG .  .  . I didn't waste any time this afternoon and read the user's guide. I have figured out how to use the aperture and shutter priority settings as well as the manual settings. I'm really excited to start playing around with depth of field and exposure times. Chris and I have had a lot of fun this evening just playing around with our new toy. It's getting me really excited to have a cute little subject to photograph in a couple weeks!! There's just no comparing this camera to my old one. I just can't even begin to describe the bliss of using a nice digital SLR! I didn't even have to spend any time (other than downsizing the large file) in Photoshop to touch up the photos!! Oh, this just gets me so excited to go out and take pictures of everything and anything.
