I was so excited yesterday when a package arrived from my sister Madeline, the photographer. She helped facilitate the purchase of a snazzy new camera. It's a sony A-33 digital SLR that is 14 megapickles, records full hd video, and 7 frames per second, with live view on a TRU black 920 dpi swivel lcd screen with a lens. If none of that made sense to you, it didn't to me either. I copied it straight from her email.
I cracked it open this morning and I. AM. IN. LOVE.
Here are some shots I took today and consider these facts:
1)I have read nary a page of the manual and don't know how to work a sony A-33 digital SLR that is 14 megapickles, records full hd video, and 7 frames per second, with live view on a TRU black 920 dpi swivel lcd screen with a lens.
2)I have limited mobility, what with the broken foot. (Oh yeah, I broke my foot. For all the gory details on that, click here.)
3)The apartment isn't the best back drop these days, what with the broken foot and the lack of cleaning. Plus it's dark and the carpet is brown and ugly.
Handsome hubby, who, by the way, is going beyond the call of duty helping gimpy me, now that he's back from London.
Dizzle and Dad only made it in a few shots because they had to leave for school. More later for sure.
That's his flash face. The new camera's flash pops up and flashes, and that makes him scowl.
Beautiful boy.
No more photos!
I took these with me in them by just holding the camera out in a haphazard way. I love this camera.
Eee-gads. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. Just you wait until I've read the manual, figured this puppy out, and gotten tips from my class. I'ma be unstoppable!In other news, we're thick into party prep around here for E's big 3rd birthday tomorrow!
Awesome! I think that's the beauty of DSLR's... you don't have to know squat about photography but they'll do all the work for you (and make you look quite skilled in the process). These pics are fantastic already!
ReplyDeleteI love that you wrote "mega pickles" twice. I think I'm going to call them that from now on.
LOVE the flash face! I have to say it again: he makes THE best facial expressions! The most photogenic kid ever!
The flash face made me laugh out loud. And, this camera just highlights your gorgeous-ness. Fun!
ReplyDeleteHooray! These photos are adorable! Funny that you copied that bit about the details of the camera! megapickles is my new word for describing MP cause I can't tell you how many different ways I hear these SPECS butchered by customers! Try out the sweep panorama too, its a hoot!
