New Camera Fun :)

Can you tell who our main photo subject is?!

 After a couple of years of talking about it and dreaming about it.... we finally did it!  We bought a Digital SLR camera! We always drool over them when wandering through Best Buy and love asking anyone who has one what they think about it and of course the answers are always the same - they LOVE it!  So, a few weekends ago when we were in D.C. (after my half marathon!), we met a new friend of a friend who had the Nikon d5100 and raved about it.  He had past photography experience and showed us some of the amazing photos he's taken with his new camera.  Shane and I immediately looked at each other and said "let's do it!".  So, a couple of days later we found ourselves walking out of Best Buy with a fancy new camera (that we had no idea how to use!) and a fun little camera bag to keep it in :)  Normally I feel nauseous after making such a big purchase, but this time I was just giddy!  We love taking photos (Shane's way better than I am at remembering) when we travel, hike, make fun foods or hang out with friends.  We debated a while between the Canon rebel series and the Nikon, but after reading some reviews and a great sale price, we settled on the Nikon.  So here are a few fun photos we've taken just playing around with the settings.  I'm hoping it'll beef up my blog a bit, too :)  Looking forward to learning more about our new toy! 

Fun setting!

 What do you think?! I just love how crisp the colors and images are!  A big upgrade from our little point and shoot :)  Happy snapping!
