My New Camera

So i finally got a new SLR Camera. And let me just start by saying...I LOVE IT! I dont leave home without it. It is great. I went with the Nikon D60. And just in case you were wondering yes..it is the one in the commercial with Aston Kutcher. Yeah...that really sold me on it..i mean i figured if Ashton uses it...so should I!? No but really, i did my research and this seemed like our best option. I got a great deal through Costco. It has 10.2 megapix and it came with 2 pretty good lens' and a bag. It's fabulous! So here is a sample of a few pictures i have taken with it.
Please dont mock...i shouldnt post these when i have cousins who do this for a living. And..if you think these photos are good well all I do is use the auto settings and click a button for now. So this in no way reflects my photography abilites. Good or Bad. I dont know what half the buttons do and if you think i am reading that thick manual your crazy. So for now i get much better pictures than my old camera with just the click of a button. I look forward to taking my class in the fall and learning more about it.

Class in the fall? WHat are you doing? One of those community ones? That sounds great, I should take one, or you can just pass it all to me as you learn?? Ha ha, way to go on the new camera

Isn't it amazing what a good camera can do? I'm taking a class from a professional photographer, I love it. Until I took my class I just used the auto setting too.

Hey girl I think they are beautiful. Sometimes professionals can be way to picky. I personally love amateur shots. Keep snapping.
