After years of wishful thinking and months of searching, I finally have a DSLR! Bought a used Nikon D90 with under 2,000 shutter actuations in absolutely PRISTINE condition. Honestly not a single thing blemish or fault, and I absolutely love it. Still depending on the automatic settings, will be studying the manual closely, can't wait to finally figure it out.

But for now, I wanted to share a few shots. LOTS of things I'm doing wrong, but haven't even begun learning yet and wanted to have a bit of fun first.

Trent is happy about the new camera, too


Mostly because he gets rewarded for posing




Guard dog posing


But that's awfully hard work


So we take a break




Then Trent turns on the Puppy Look to the max and asks if we can head out


Of course I oblige


He's still required to pose, though

Then he gets to run!






And pose again


And even at home


"...please let me get that treat you just threw"


His favorite giraffe toy, torn up and restitched more times than I can remember






No longer so sure about this whole new camera thing his human got

But then we move inside again!

Flipping for belly rubs










Raina and Bree pretend to be friends


Really like this picture of Raina


Meanwhile Trent is grateful that I've found other subjects to shoot


Done! Thanks for looking at the huge photodump ;)

Beautiful photos and amazing colors!! :D Trent is still my favorite! I love how he can be so regal and watchful yet so adorable at the same time!

Thank you! You are also just the BEST for all the help and advice you've been giving me, thank you SO much for that. I definitely would not have made this decision so readily without your help, I'd still be hemming and hawing about every potential deal and all of the basics and never actually go through with it.

Now I am so giddy happy with this D90 :D

Wow, great photos!! I'm really starting to like the look of Nikon photos, the more I see of them. You've got some lovely subjects there, too!

I know I already told you this but... YAY for a new camera. I demand more Trent pictures :D

He is seriously so handsome! That last one of him makes me want to cuddle with him <3

I also want Bree. K, thanks.

Thanks everyone!! So thrilled with this camera.

*I* am so happy YOU got a new camera! MORE TRENT PICTURES! :D
ME TOO! Been wanting a DSLR for years now, so incredibly happy that I finally have one. It may as well be glued to my hand, I'm just having fun for now chasing down Trent and the cats for more pictures :p . You can definitely count on more pictures!

I took 700+ photos (not including ones I immediately deleted) just over the long weekend... whoops ;) Good thing the shutter count was low on this used camera! Expect plenty of photos.

Bree is the self declared princess of feigned dignity and a prissy, lazy fluffercat. She just wants to bask in the sun and get cuddles and belly rubs - wouldn't be able to keep up with your crew at all!
