Ho wlovley that he sent you flowers alllll the way from Afghanistan!!!! What a wonderful guy! I Love your ring!
Love the pics and the ring!
oh what a wonderful soldier boy! enjoy pasadena....did u get my email?
Ooooo - congrats! I have a great pdf from twopeasinabucket.com that really helped me figure out the manual controls on my camera. Drop me an email and I'll send it along!
I am so jealous! I wanted a digital SLR forever, but had to save up for mine.
Your camera should have come with a manual. You can also check out the "For Dummies" version for that camera. Not trying to be insulting, those books are very informative and are written in an easy-to-comprehend way.
Good luck! I can't wait to see all the pics you're going to take.
One of my favorite tricks is to use a large aperture because it makes the background blurry. Something like that works great with close-up pics like the ones of your ornaments. And I also like to add a little edge burn to all my pics (though that is an editing trick, rather than a photography thing).
great start with your pics! yeah a book would be a good idea for me to learn too.. oh well i figure just learn a bit everytime you use it and you will be apro in no time
Nice camera, and really nice pictures (your ring is GORGEOUS, as are the flowers!!).
