Enjoy!
i just took the best picture of a tomato sitting on a paper towel EVER.
Hot damn! Congrats. You’re gonna love that lens.
You will absolutely love having a DSLR! I’d always had 35mm SLRs, and swore I’d never go digital (I’m old and stubborn, not to mention perpetually cranky; DEAL WITH IT!). Then I got a DSLR. I would never, ever go back to film! I would definitely recommend a zoom lens also; sometimes the extra detail can make a good shot truly great.
Hope my jealousy rays are penetrating the internet. That is one gorgeous camera!
Nice! We got the Nikon D60, still figuring out how to use it. Took some awesome photos at the Grand Canyon, still trying to figure out how to use anything besides the AUTO function, lol…
I got the exact same camera two weeks ago!
I’m loving learning!
and… now lens lust has set in 🙂
enjoy!
Congrats!
Sweeeeeet!
Whooo hooo! Enjoy!
That’s the camera I’ve been saving my nickles for…it seems to get a good solid thumbs up!
Awesome! That lens has been on my wish list for such a long time. I can’t wait to see what you do with it! Have fun!
