OMG, I'm in LOVE


I must confess to you all, I am IN LOVE with my new Nikon D-70 camera that I bought from [livejournal.com profile] greyrider . I bought it from her a few months ago. The first few days after I received the camera and all the paraphernalia that came with it, I was intimidated by it. I wouldn't even open the case it came in. Slowly, I got accustomed to its presence and I started playing around with it. My experience at first was very much like the first time I opened my newly acquired Photoshop 2.0 software. I opened it and looked at it and said, “Do something.” I certainly didn’t know how to maneuver the software. Well, likewise, I certainly didn’t know how to maneuver this camera. But I am learning, and the photos that are emerging are beautiful.

Heck, there’s so much to learn about the camera and how to use it. I look at the camera and my thoughts scream at it, “Is there a school out there that can teach me how to use you?”

I take a deep breath. “Give it time,” a small voice in my head soothingly whispers to me, “give it time. Look where you are with Photoshop. Give it time.” And I will give it time. Till then, here’s what I have produced so far:










National Cathedral






Notice the difference. The top one was taken with the D70. The next one was taken with an Olympus (which, by the way, is not a bad camera). The Last one was taken with the Canon.






And the winner is................ Nikon D70.

Here's a little information about this sculpture:





Fun with the camera at night:

LOL. He was so patient. He just stood there while I was shooting away.
