I got a new camera! I am so excited about this! I've had my eye on a digital SLR camera for some time now (like since Cecilia was born). One of my photographer friends was selling the body of an entry level SLR for a steal of a deal. It was her old back-up camera that she only used once. I claimed it within 20 minutes of the FB post. I ordered a lens online for it, and it came in on Friday. Now its time to learn how to use it. Of course, I could just set it on auto and go, but that is really no fun. I'm so excited to learn how to use this camera to its full potential. YAY!
Already I can see a huge difference in the quality of the photos from my old point and shoot to this camera. The way it captures the light is so much more accurate to what I actually see. One thing that will take some adjusting is the lens. I bought a fixed lens at 50mm, so it has no zoom, and it is a considerably tighter crop than what I am used to. I did some comparison testing from old to new with the girls. Its pretty remarkable!
So, because I have this awesome new camera, I am imposing a 30 day photo challenge on myself. In addition to the usual Fries family life logging that I do, I'll be posting a photo a day to go with my photo challenge. I'm counting on all 10 of you, my faithful blog readers, to keep me accountable : ) I've looked through several challenge lists and decided to pick and choose to make my own.
