So I've done it. I have a new camera! We are still getting acquainted. Though I do think I may need to start lifting weights, as this one is a bit more hefty than my last. A Nikon D7000 with a 18 - 105mm all around lens, and a 85mm micro/macro.I have loads of work I need to get to but the lure of the lens is powerful stuff! All I want to do is play and shoot. I have mostly been messing about with the 85mm f/3.5G.
See...
Having never shot with this type of lens before it takes some getting used to, much practice is needed...and yes, there's more!
Well, I'm off to find some more bugs to take pictures of! Seriously friends, I am completely distracted by my new toy...if you don't hear from me in a few days, it's likely that I am hiding in a bush, dressed in camo and waiting for a dragonfly to land on a nearby leaf!Have a lovely day!
Wow! Beautiful pictures! I wish you a lot of fun with your new camera!

According to these beautiful pictures, it's looks like you and your new camera are getting along very, very well! As for the camo comment, I totally laughed out loud on that one! Keep having fun!

ReplyDeleteWOW!!!! These should be cards!! What wonderful photos- gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband bought me a macro lens for my Canon Rebel back in February. Only used it once. So powerful--I didn't really quite understand it. I guess I should be more like you and jump in. Thanks for sharing these gorgeous pix!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty, and what a great start. I'm having a play around with my husband's Nikon 5000 and some new extension rings he bought me for my birthday (and then promptly took away to play with). Looking forward to seeing your progress. X
