Black Friday was good to us this year. Matt felt the urge to participate by buying a new tablet for himself. (I totally approved, as I know how much I enjoy my iPad!) But little did I know he had something else up his sleeve. When he come home from work the day after Thanksgiving, he had more than a tablet. He bought me a new CAMERA!!!
Now he knew that I had been wanting one for quite a while now. My old one was a birthday present that I got about my second year in college. I even tried to get a new camera on sale last year for Black Friday, but I ended up returning it because it did not have all the features I wanted. I was thrilled!! He even did RESEARCH before purchasing it! (I know, I can't believe it either! That has always been my job when it comes to buying anything!)
So here it is! My early Christmas present. A Nikon J1! You can read about it by clicking the link here.
I have been experimenting with the settings, and I just can't seem to get away from the "single focus" setting which blurs the background and focuses in on the subject right in front.
Here are some sample pieces. Hopefully there will be many more to come!
What do you think of the pictures with my Nikon? I am pretty much in LOVE because I have always wanted to take macro shots and as long as I have a steady surface, they turn out perfect! I'm a real blogger now!
PS- don't those cookies look delish? I hope to make a post on them soon!
