While I am so not a photographer (what the heck is an f stop?) I am all about taking the best pictures for my blog and of course to get some great shots of my kids to hang on my wall. I’ve been saving every dime (that wasn’t spent on hair bows and cloth diapers) that I made from my blog and finally saved up enough to get the Canon Rebel T1i! I already adore it!
My next purchase will be a 50mm lens for it. But I might save that for a bday gift from someone.
So here, my friends, are a few shots directly out of my camera! (I did lighten the one of Lucy a smidge so the shadows wouldn’t be so bad and you could see her eyes. But that’s it!)
Great pictures! I love my Canon.
Those shots came out reaally clear and crisp! I love the cutie patootie shot especially 🙂
(ps you are a big blogger to me 🙂 your lovely site is awesome!)
I have a T2i and LOVE it. Best investment ever!
I love having a great camera! It is the best investment you can make. I hope you have fun!
jealous….
and your garden…wow!
Thanks LOL! Took me 2 years to save up the money!
Oh and the garden? Click the “home farm” link in my sidebar and you will find a post with my entire garden. It’s pretty big. My husband went a bit nuts this year……we live on 20 acres and he thought “we have the space…why not?” He’s outside gardening so much. I hope we can sell some produce at farmer’s market this year, if we grow enough and the deer don’t eat it first!
Oooh, lucky you!! I’m in the process of looking for a new camera too. And, like you, I have no clue what all this “camera-speak” means. I just want someone to do the research for me!
Great pics! And what a cutie! I SO need a new camera like that. Its on the To-Get list… one day that is!
Congrats on your new camera!
LOL Even though it’s Canon? Thanks girl 🙂
Yes even though its a Canon. Hate the camera, not the photographer, and yes that was a play on the sin and sinner bit LOL
you’re going to have so much fun with it!!
I love my Canon Rebel! I don’t have any special lens though! 🙁 It’s still a kick butt camera! You will love it as well!
Your garden looks great, and your new camera took some beautiful shots.
I want a Canon soo bad! Your garden is looking awesome! And what a little cutie! 🙂
oh isn’t it great having a good camera?!! Fun!
I love the last photo. Too cute.
Love getting new toys! 🙂 Lovely pics.
I have been wanting an SLR for years. I hate they that are SO expensive. I’m camera illiterate so I like knowing you can use it out of the box lol
Have fun with your new camera! I adore my DSLR!
Congratulations on your new camera! I have the same camera and I love it!!
Congrats on the new camera. It will be a treasure.
Thank you Alicia!! I love your photography and will go to your blog frequently for inspiration!
I want a new camera SO bad! I’m jealous. 🙂
You lucky duck you! I want a DSLR so bad! Great photos! You will be a pro before you know it.
Loving the shots. I hope one day to get a couple of great lenses!
Yay for new cameras! I am loving mine.
How nice!! Good for you 🙂 Have fun with it!
Wait, did you say money you make off your BLOG? :))))
Great pics! I love baby just chillin’ and swingin’ 🙂
Tiffany
Yup! I finally make money on here! Now it isn’t much, mind you. Took me, what, 2 years to save up for this bad boy? LOL
Congratulations! I totally remember getting my Nikon a few years ago. I was so over-the-moon excited. 🙂
I need to have my cameras serviced… all my pics right now are from my phone : )
great pics, glad you love your new camera!
Great shots! Those cameras get easier the more you use them. I’ve had mine for over a year now and I’m still not sure what an f stop is, though.
awww the last one of your daughters expression is tooo cute
congrats on your new camera! Looks like you are off to a great start!
Yay for a new camera. Cute photos.
I can’t wait to get a new camera. Great pictures 🙂
Love the shots you got!!! Also love that garden 🙂
Wow, great job! I am camera idiot here, so I snap & pray! LOL. I hope to learn enough to get a better camera some day.
you’re so LUCKY! I want a fancy camera so bad. Great shots Annie!
I’ve had mine for a couple years and I’ve just started learning how to really use it in the past month. Enjoy learning the ins and outs! There are some great blog posts around the web that helped me tremendously.
Great shots. You can get them cheap at adorama.com that is where I got all my stuff. Saves your pocketbook.
I LOVE Adorama! Oh my goodness, cheapest prints ever and such great quality. I got David’s 1st year book from them and the pages are THICK, not magazine style like from “other” sites. 🙂
Yay for new cameras! Your photos look awesome. You know I had a bunch of blogs open and couldn’t figure out where the happy birthday music was coming from. Finally realized it was here, lol
Great Shots. I loved my Canon when I first got it, but I still don’t know what the heck an F stop is 😉
These are great! Congrats on your new camera – I love my 50mm lens!
Looks awesome, Annie! I love your veggies, too!
Looks like your garden is starting to sprout! Enjoy your new camera!
Thanks for the linky.
Yay for a new camera!!!! Great shots too. I love that chunky face!
I have been wanting a new camera and have actually looked at that exact one. Glad to see you like it!
Yay for new cameras! Great shots 🙂
I LOVE LOVE LOVE My DSLR. Best investment I ever made. Those are beautiful shots
I don’t know a thing about “good” cameras and photo taking, however, I think yours look great!
wait til you get the 50mm. i LOVE mine. wish my house was big enough to use it indoors on a regular basis
Lovely garden.. but gorgeous little girl! 🙂
From the looks of these photos, you got a great camera! I really need to get a nice camera. We still have just a regular old point and shoot, and I can definitely see the difference in the quality of my pictures compared to most everyone else’s.
Looks like it takes great photos! I just use my cell, I need a “real” camera someday!
Nice photos! She is such a cute little chubby cherub!
Yah! Congrats on the new camera. You’re going to have so many fun with it. And yes, OMG the 50mm lens is incredible to have, definitely keep that on your wishlist.
Beautiful shots! LOVE me some basil, I have two pots growing of it, one that is big enough to use for cooking now and one that is just starting out now.
The picture of Lucy is beautiful, I love those chubby cheeks, I just want to give them a zerbert!!
I adore my 50mm lense and leave it on my camera all the time unless I am going somewhere that I know I will be really far away and then I put on my zoom lens. Hope you get one for your birthday. =)
It looks like you’ve mastered your new camera (great photos!)
Great pictures!
Your new camera and lens make your pictures look great and your garden looks amazing!
Yay for a new camera…that basil looks delicious!
