A new Camera

I have been wanting a SLR for years.

I wanted a professional grade Nikon like the D3 or the D 90 so I kept putting of getting one until I could come up with cash.

The other day i was on line and i was reading the reviews on the D 3000 and thought maybe this was not a bad SLR to start out with after all it is a starter camera.

So Saturday I bit the bullet and bought it.

I was a little sad at first that I did not get the camera of my dreams but once I opened it up and started playing with it I realized how comfortable I was using it. It didn't make me nerves it was easy to use and not at all complicated.

Here is the first pic I took with it the whole reason I wanted a SLR so I could get amazing pix of the moon.

I was so sad when I saw that it looked just like a shot from my point and shoot.

Kadie my lovely daughter who has taken tons of photography classes explained to me that I had to use the right shutter speed and lens and do all these other things.

I thought oh I have a lot to learn.

Today I decide to take the camera out again to try and capture great cloud shots.

So with some of the skills Kadie taught me.

I got this great shot.

I then tried take a picture of my feet with out showing and background.

I have no clue what the technique is called .

But I do know it's time for a pedicure..

I cant wait to take more pix and get to know my camera better.

If any body has any photography advice I am all ears and eager to learn.
