Finally, after years and years of bothering him, we gained a new addition to the family!
Shiny, ain’t she! My level of excitement went through the ROOF when it was delivered to me at work early last week, but I didn’t have a lot of time to play with it. Only a couple days before we got it, Matt and I bought Nikon D5100 for Dummies, and I have yet to get through more than a few pages. Matt, on the other hand, stayed home sick on Wednesday and Friday, so he had tons of time to read the book.
(1) He read a book. From cover to cover.
(2) This great imbalance of power and know-how of his is a little frustrating. 
But I can’t be too upset by it, because he has been like this the past week:
Anyway, even despite how he was feeling, we still had a chance to try out the camera!
Tora, our neighbor's dog. 
I'm not, you know, a picture person...
A couple of awesome neighbors.
And my favorite… which is actually Matt’s! Took him forever to get it, but once he did… it turned out amazing. First try, too. See what I mean about that imbalance of power?
Ends up it’s GREAT for food photography, too, even using the kit lens and with the addition of a macro lens.
Yesterday's lunch: "What do we have in the fridge?" pasta!
The last one is actually something I’ll be talking about later… so keep an eye out tomorrow for a new recipe.
LOL! With all your recent posts, when I saw the title of this one I thought you were pregnant!
Anyway, enjoy your new “toy”
Haha! I’m getting that a lot… maybe I should have phrased it a bit better.
Thanks, though! We’ve been having a lot of fun with this thing!
What a GORGEOUS camera and pictures!
Thank you, Becky!
