New Camera

Mark came home the other day and announced that he was buying me a new camera. (Have I mentionned how much I love my husband??) While I am in LOVE with my new camera, I have to also admit that it intimidates the crap out of me. It does so much more than my old point and shoot camera that I don't even know where to start! I did go to Chapters and purchase a copy of Canon Rebel XS for Dummies (yes, yes, you can all make fun of me now) and have slowly been reading through page by page. But I am still a long ways away from knowing the full capability of my new camera.

I think the kids are mad at daddy for buying mommy a new camera. Everytime they turn around they now have a camera lens shoved in their faces. They haven't been overly cooperative about it either...

Even the dog is getting pretty ticked off. Everytime I take the camera out he starts to bark at it. The other night I thought I had bested him and could sneak some pictures of him when he was sleeping... but no, as soon as I started snapping away, he started growling at me.

I did manage to snap one picture of Katie where she wasn't screaming, crying or running away... Katie is our snugglie child. She ALWAYS wants to sit on a lap, give kisses or hugs. Which is such a change for Mark and I as Logan never wanted to have anything to do with us.

I LOVE the last picture of Mark and Katie!! It captures such a sweet daddy-little girl relationship! Very precious. Keep at it with that new camera - you've got a great eye.

Does Logan get to play with your old camera?

If you want help figuring out the tricks of your camera I'll help!
Us Canon users need to stick together (Nikon is great too - Kare :) )

Yup, love the photo of Mark and Katie, even with his homeless man's beard. Too cute! I guess I am outnumbered with Canon users now...
