and so the journey begins.......

A few weeks back I purchased a new DSLR, gorgeous camera, definitely going to be a learning experience!

Since it came out I had been using a Nikon D80, nice camera, shot some really nice photos but, it was time for an upgrade.....

Well, here we go!

The new camera is the Nikon D300s! This thing has got more bells and whistles than you can shake a stick at. Will be spending a lot of time learning all of the goodies that this is packed with.

Join me on this journey and see how it goes and where it leads....

Ambitiously, it is my plan to shoot at the end of the day and then again first thing in the morning. These are the first two offerings....

this was taken last night, hand held, which I never do, but it looks pretty good....

then there is this one which I shot this morning. I was heading for the front door when this cactus screamed at me and said "Hey, look here, take my picture!" The sun was streaming through the window and just illuminating these branches. I can't decide which I like better, so I offer them both for you to decide. Let me know what you think....

Well, on that note, Have a great day and we'll see you tomorrow..........
