Brian has some competition!
My camera came yesterday! I'm absolutely in love, it's so easy to handle, decently easy to learn to use (even Manual mode- I didn't get this thing to keep it in Auto mode!), and just so much fun!
And just in time too- my mom and sister got a puppy on Tuesday, so I was able to go over and take pictures of Molly (their new cockapoo) and Mindi (our Morkie) with the new camera!
I have not been this excited about something in a long, long while. Learning with Brian, having something to challenge myself with, being excited to get out of bed and actually do something (even with the pain; I have been pretty much bedridden for the past 2 years and getting out of bed is hard, even with the motivation- and this is the best motivation yet!), all the while documenting our memories and hopefully knowing the camera and shooting when kids come... There is just so many exciting aspects to this simple piece of technology.
Brian's pretty excited too. Now we have to figure out what our next lens is going to be... I think it's going to be a Tamron 28-70mm, but it's a bit pricey, so it will either be a while or I have to really search to find a refurbed or gently used one.
I will add some photos of the first photoshoot and the newest member of our family, but I have to resize the photos first!
