My birthday present finally arrived and I could not be more excited!
I have wanted a "real" camera for so long.
I have a small pocket size digital camera that I believe came out in 1999 (!!!). I think the first iPhone had more pixels than it does!
But I shouldn't complain, it's definitely worked for me in the past capturing some wonderful memories and beautiful places. But maybe it's time for something just a bit more grown up.
For my birthday Dan got me a brand new gorgeous camera and I am so excited to start playing with it and learning all about it.
{Dan's excited because he thinks that we'll finally be able to capture Pacino's true handsomeness. His words - I swear!}
I'd love to hear any suggestions for online tutorials or any tips! I'm a total newbie.
I'm also trying to get a bit more familiar with photoshop. I have CS5 on my Macbook and I will admit it is not intuitive for me. Any suggestions would be so appreciated!
I'm definitely not looking to become a photographer (or an octopus).
Just the basics to start :)

Congrats and good luck!!! J got me an amazing Nikon DSRL for my bday almost 2 years ago now. I used it for a while but it came along with private lessons with a photographer that I've yet to use to this day. I'm really disappointed in myself though because I truly love photography and wanted this camera so badly but it sits at home almost all the time. I know you'll get better use out of yours!
ReplyDeleteOh and also good luck with Photoshop. It's totally not intuitive at all. I need to take a class.
These are my fall projects :) xoxo
Ha and I meant to type dslr but typed too fast :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! You're going to love playing around with it. I took one class and it taught me the basics. I also wrote this post about some of the tricks I use to get my photos looking decent. I'm not a photographer by any means but it's so fun! Oh and practice, practice, practice!
