New Camera: The Loon and The Didgeridoo

Camera arrived this morning and I'm soooo tickled!

Going to be a learning curve figuring out how to use it to it's full capabilities, get pictures looking right and get used to a working new camera. I was so used to having to take my memory card and/or battery out every single time I wanted to get a picture and having it only like to focus sometimes. So nice to have one that I don't need to do a special dance to make it work.

All done!

Ooh I love all the stalky pictures of Didgie!

Omg she's huge!

Yay swimming!

Yay!! I love the pics! Did you take way more than you thought since it was working smoothly? LOL

They are so gorgeous, maybe I will get a Koolie next

This just makes me realize how much Trav has grown.

They are both great looking dogs

I'm super jealous of how well your pics turn out!

Oh my gosh she is turning out so pretty...and growing sooo fast. Are you sure you don't need me to take her for a few weeks? You know...socialization...and stuffs...

I knooooow! Everytime I look at him I can't believe how mature he looks

Once I found out how to set the continuous shot I did! But that took longer to figure out than I would like to admit

She's soooo awkward looking it makes me laugh. Her back is long right now and her front end is a wee shorter than her back end and it makes her look all wonky. Oooh puppies!

I think you should just come here like you were planning. We could have a water fetching day for Traveler and Mira.

Great photos! But listen good, ear, GO UP AND STAY UP!

Great pictures, as always! I as well can't get over how grown up and mature Traveler is nowadays. Didgie probably just makes him look even more so. She is growing up so pretty and has changed so much already in just a month.

She's so pretty and Trav is handsome as always!! Looks like you have the hang of the new camera!!

She's really sprouting legs!! All you Koolie people is reaaaaally making me want one!!

Looks like the new camera is working out well...great pictures!

I am sure it helps to have gorgeous subjects

Your dogs are so awesome. Even in photos they have a ton of personality. I love Didgie's markings, they might be the coolest ever. And the photo of Traveler standing on that big rock is super-awesome.

Congrats on the new camera! Can I ask what kind it is? I need to get something better than my point-n-click that I have now.

Thanks all!

For better or worse they do have personality in spades!

And it's a Canon 40D! An upgrade from my old Rebel XS

A new to me Canon 40D and the lens is the same I always use, a 50mm 1.8

Oh it wants to be up! That one yesterday just decided to be a little floppy when she's hot and tired. I'm not worried! Traveler's weren't even close to being this up at her age

Dies from the cute.

Awesome photos as always. Put me in the 'need a new camera asap' boat, too!

Great photos! Glad you got your camera. Traveler and Didgeridoo are so cute together.

Eeek they are so cute together!!!!
