Beth. Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) YAYAYAY!!! My new camera arrived today I must admit i'm feeling very overwhelmed by it and have absolutely no idea what i'm doing, but i'll get there - I'm about to start doing lots of reading and hopefully one day i'll slightly understand it!!! And thanks to my very lovely secret santa on here (snooks, formerly justice shades), I got an awesome 'understanding exposure' book which is just great!!!!!! Ok - here's my new baby!!!! I ended up going with the Canon 550D (but I ended up getting a grey import so it's actually the Kiss X4 body), with the 18-55mm and also the 50mm 1.8 lens, along with an extra battery, and a few other extra bits and pieces!! I'm very happy and impressed with it (and it took less then a week to arrive as well!!), so right now i'm a very happy girl!!!!

betsy Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I'm interested in seeing how you go, been toying with the idea of getting a DSLR. Still working out which model would be best for me. Expecting photo overload very soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 What a great start, and to have that book from the outset is good too. You've got the nifty fifty too! good idea! Isn't it exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Don't worry - you'll get there. Auto is your friend for a couple of weeks while you learn what all the numbers mean! You'll pick it up, especially with that book! it's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth. Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) Thanks everyone ;) It's just all soooo much fun!!!! (oh, and I blame all you guys for your gorgeous photos and me wanting a dslr desperately!!!) I'm been mainly using auto yesterday, but this morning decided to pop it on manual and have a little go.... slowly understanding what it all means... SLOWLY!!!!! Thought i'd show you my first couple photos (Lottie missed out today as she was just not cooperating ), so here are a couple photos of my sisters dogs (i'm doing up a few things for their Christmas presents/birthday) so have been taking a few photos of them!!!! I made the three girls (Dexta the rottie, Astro below and Lottie mine) some Christmas collars with a little bandana thing attached as well for some Christmas photos... And Dexta These were taken with the nifty fifty... obviously I have soooo much to learn, but it's all soooo much fun :p ;) Ok - just have one more that I got of my girl (nearly, hehe) Edited December 8, 2010 by LuvLottie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
