My New Camera
So I bought a new camera today. Sort of on a whim. I know, how irresponsible of me. Andy would be mortified at my lack of thorough research.
I'm fairly new in the world of SLR photography. I have a relatively inexpensive digital camera of the point and click variety, which has been very adequate up until now, and for my work-blog pics, I've been using the company camera (which sadly is way out of my price range). But I wanted something of my own, and something that would take more...interesting pictures than I had been taking up until now. Plus I just plain needed a hobby.
So, I got this one at Best Buy on my whim today at lunch. It just "felt" right, more so than the others I tried.
Of course I've been playing with it all evening....Steven is sick of saying "CHEEEESE!" Although I've asked him not to say that anymore, he still feels compelled whenever he sees the camera in front of my face. I've trained him too well.
Granted, I still have a lot of learning to do (and resizing this to something blog-manageable has left it less sharp than it was originally, I need to figure that out too), I can definitely say I have NEVER EVER taken an action shot that looks as clear as this one does:
