Thought I would share - New Camera, New Pics! :)

**Russian Blue** · 05-21-2007, 08:34 AM

Hey everyone! I haven't been around much since Nakita passed away in January but thought I would stop by. Rob surprised me with a new SLR as an early birthday present and thought I would share some test pics with you.

I'm really enjoying the camera and can't wait to get a macro lens. I took some basic macro pics, but the current lens I'm using isn't really meant for that type of photography so they are not as clear as I would like.

Rob was my first test victim.

I took these in the evening, by the lake. The lighting conditions were wonderful at that time of day.

A bee, as close as I could get before it attacked me!

.....continued in next post.

The mighty birch tree and a close up of the bark:

A black and white pic of my favourite tree, located next to my cottage:

One of my mom's bird houses.

A dandelion gone to seed (I thought of Kirsten when I tried out this pic!):

We were suppose to go on the lake when I took this pictures, but it was raining.

Kass,

It is such a treat to see you posting today and the photos are amazing as they always are. Thanks so much for sharing them with us.

Have fun with your home renovations - although it may not always seem that way but the fruit of your labour will be most rewarding.

Many hugs for you and Rob. Stay well, Betty

The camera is a Canon Rebel. These are the first pictures I took with it so they're not that bad. Once I get more familiar and comfortable with the camera, the pics should improve.
