The camera is finally here and it’ so much better than I expected. I almost changed my mind about buying this in favor of the older Canon Digital Rebel XT, but I’m really glad I didn’t. It looks like I’ll have quite a bit to learn about photography in the coming months. The photo above is the first somewhat decent looking shot I took with the fully manual 50mm lens.
Here are a few more photos which were taken with the kit lens. I’d be happy with this lens alone, at least for now, but I’m going to try my hardest to master the 50mm prime lens. It’s not easy but I like a challenge once in a while.
This is it for today. Changing poopy diapers and crib sheets has gotten to me.

So I’m jealous! You are welcome to practice your photography skills on Hannah if you want! :) Great photos.

I definitely need lots of practice, especially using the 50mm prime lens in full manual mode. Too bad you guys are only here for another couple of weeks, because it feels like I need months of practice. Maybe we’ll catch up with you somewhere in clinicals.
Oh and don’t be jealous. Deep down I wish I’d gotten the D80 and I have a feeling you will go straight for that instead of starting with the lowly D40.
