My Baby Has Arrived!!!

I have been waiting for the day that I would get a "fancy camera" for years now, and I've gotten a lot more impatient this past year or so. Finally my husband gave in and said "if I wanted something as much as you want this camera, I would have bought it a long time ago." And just like that, my DSLR wish was granted!!! I did so much research my head was spinning! You have no idea how hard it is to research something with all these strange words and numbers that you do not know the meaning of!  After reading through pages and pages of reviews, I came to the conclusion that the best camera for me was the Nikon D90. I am quite sure I'd feel the same about any other DSLR, but I could not be happier about my camera! I'm going to need some time to figure this darn thing out, but when I do, I hope to take some amazing pictures of my family that will grace walls and photo albums for lifetimes to come! Here is a tour of some of my trials with this camera so far...

My very first picture! I even tried the manual focus. Not that I understand anything more advanced than (turn the dial until the picture looks clear.) 

 

 

 

The shot I've been waiting for all fall of Morgan in her red coat in our yard with all the leaves...pay no attention to the pool at the top of the pictures...it isn't really there, your mind is playing tricks on you. Stop looking at it!

 

Not really a good quality picture, but I like that it kinda summed up our day over here: Michael beaming with excitement as he sawed down the hideous forest in our backyard. Oh, and Michael is smiling, which is rare, so it had to be documented!

 

 

 

 

 

I love this one of my husband. Again, it is a rare opportunity that he allows me to photograph him, so I took full advantage. 

Eventually I'll have some photos that are all fancy...now that I have a fancy camera and all! Teehee! Right now, I'm just super excited that I have this camera that blurs the background...notice the blur in a couple of the pictures! I'm telling you, that is all I have wanted for YEARS!!! Now to get Mikayla to like the new camera so I can get some pictures of her up here, too!

OH! And I didn't tell you the most exciting part! My friend Teri, knowing that I have the uncomfortable strap that comes in the box, MADE me a strap cover for my secret santa gift!  It is my new favorite thing about this camera as it is so unique. I seriously feel like some kind of fancy photographer now...only if I could take those fancy shots to go with the feeling! Oh well, I'll get there!
