I'm truly blessed to have a husband who supports and encourages my interests. I've always had a strong interest in photography but never had the camera, time or drive to pursue it as a dedicated hobby. After the birth of my second daughter, my 'push' gift from my husband was my first Digital SLR Camera.
I still have the same Canon EOS Rebel and LOVE it.

For the past 2 years, I've been photographing with one lens- an EFS 18-55mm lens. For Mother's Day however, my husband bought me a new lens (EF 75-300mm). It's probably pretty obvious that I'm not really a diamonds and jewelry type of gal (other than what I make myself). I've always told my husband that buying me jewelry would be a waste of money since I won't really wear it. I'm nervous by nature and don't need added stress about losing or breaking anything that is worth a lot of money.
I haven't had a lot of time to experiment with the new lens but decided to try it out during our latest rain storm. Can I tell you how in love I am? It was perfect. I was able to stand on our deck and get some great up close shots of my 4 year old. Experimenting with photography is FUN but I really need to focus and read up on techniques and photography basics.

I'll be checking out your blog tonight. Just think, August isn't too far away :) Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteOh a Rebel was my first too! And then I still save and save for new lenses. I can totally identify!

What appears to be a cheap hobby is quite expensive but I can't complain. I now get to cherish the memories of my family forever.
DeleteMy rebel is on the fritz after years of abuse---always so happy with it and playing with a new lens is such fun! I wish it wasn't such an expensive hobby! Wonderful pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Brandi for stopping by. It's a wonderful yet expensive hobby. At least there's a reward after every click.
DeleteAlways exciting to pick up a new lens and experiment. These are great. :)
ReplyDeleteComing from you, you're comments mean a lot. I LOVE following your photography every week.
DeleteI have a Canon Rebel too and all I have is the 18-55 lens. I'm dying to get the next size up - what a perfect gift for you!
ReplyDeleteAwesome shots! I hope to get a camera like that one day :) I only have a point & shoot, and don't know much about editing at all. Darling little girl :)
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous!
