I think I might be in love with my camera.

For those of you who asked, YES….all I was using is a point and shoot called the the Sony-f828….so nice. It had full manual capabilities and was a really great camera until I realized that I was missing the really sharp, sharp images that I new only a DSLR could provide. Great camera….and it now is passed down to my husband who has been trying to get me to share it for 3 years. (I am an only child and don’t like to share anything)

These photographs are stunning.

This is exactly what I am talking about when I say I can’t wait to upgrade myself….. maybe this spring time…..

So happy for your new addition.

I knew that when you upgraded your gear you’d blow us all out of the water-I told you that, didn’t I? Well, consider me blown out of the water-these are fabulous, and your clarity is amazing. I’m betting I’ll see rockstar quality from you, girl. :)

Very cool shots!! I love the last one of your youngest… they both have such amazing eyes!! And man I am still blown away that you were using a P&S the whole time. You rock!! I cant wait to meet you ;)

Kristi - February 29, 2008 - 10:03 pm

They’re all amazing!!! You’re amazing!! Hey, you even got JENN to comment…that’s HUGE!!!

Val - February 29, 2008 - 10:09 pm

These are gorgeous. I’m sorry. I’m having a hard time collecting my thoughts to compose a good comment, because I’m still kind of reeling that you’ve been using a P&S up until now. Just goes to prove, it’s more about what is behind the camera, huh?

jess - February 29, 2008 - 10:10 pm

These are just FABULOUS! And you totally had me fooled- I’d have never in a zillion years guessed you used a p&s before! Which goes to prove, when you’ve got it, you’ve git it! And girl, YOU’VE GOT IT BIG TIME! :)

Brenda - February 29, 2008 - 10:11 pm

I to can’t get over everything you took before was with a P&S like they say its not the equipment its the user. You are sooooooo way talented honestly.

Kristina - February 29, 2008 - 10:20 pm

A-Mazing! I can not believe that you were using a point and shoot before. I can’t wait to see what you’ll do now.

jodi - March 1, 2008 - 10:26 am

How funny, my husband keeps wanting to do photograhpy too, so I tell him he either has to cut his teeth on my old film slr and learn teh way I did, or he has to upgrade me to a better camera and he can have my hand-me-downs.
Love that first picture adn oh my goodness I just adore that last one. Adore it.

Kristen - March 1, 2008 - 11:39 am

I love them, as always. :-) Are you making a wish list of all kinds of lenses and goodies to go with your new camera?

jewels - March 1, 2008 - 2:55 pm

I love the feel of that 2nd photo. I just love your sense of style, and your conversions!
