Testing, Testing 1, 2, 3

My new lens arrived today.  I didn’t even know it!  I had listened for the door all day and then had finally given up and decided that it’s not going to be here until next week.  My husband and I went to take the dogs and Mya for a walk and when we opened the door, there it was.  I asked my husband, “Do they have any idea how much that thing costs?!!  They just left it laying on the front porch?”  I was so excited to try it out but had to wait until we got to a spot in the neighborhood where we could let the dogs run free and let Mya walk around.  It was torturous just having the camera riding in the stroller and I couldn’t even touch it.  Finally I got to try it out but then realized that I hadn’t put the memory card in it.  lol  I didn’t care.  I took one picture, looked at it, took another, looked at it.  They didn’t get saved but I didn’t care.  I was so amazed by the clarity, color, and sharpness.  I have never seen such a thing!!! EVER!  I am so in love with this camera.  When we got home, I got Mya out on the front porch and asked her to give me her smile.  She wasn’t into it.  Shocker!  😉  I’ve got some learning to do, but I am so excited about it!  Now if I can just relax.  I asked my husband, “Where should I put this camera so that nothing can happen to it?!  Will I be able to leave the house with it?  I sure hope so!  I’m sure clients hope so too!  😉

Here is my sample picture for the evening.  Still working on the huge aperature.  Never had that as an option before!

Still here!

So I haven’t fallen off the face of the Earth!  I know, no new pictures this week.  Makes me sad!  I was supposed to do photos for a family on Sunday but of course it rained, hard!  And it was freezing!  So we are doing them this weekend instead.  Please no more rain!  Now as long as my new lens gets here to go with my camera, that’s just sitting in the box, everything will be perfect!  Keeping my fingers crossed!
