Ok So I Am Trying Out A New Camera (New To Me)

 A co worker of Mr H is into photography and has probably spent a small mint on cameras and lenses and the sort. Mr H was telling him that I love to take pictures but am not happy with the quality and clarity of my everyday camera. So this co worker brought in one of his that has 3 different lenses to choose from as well as added flash...the works...
So I have been doing nothing but taking crash courses in photography, understanding ISO and Av stuff....and just practicing in different lights, different lenses and all that jazz. So here are some pictures I took....I still need more practice and the true test of this camera will be when we go to the hockey game this Saturday. I want those action puck in the net shots that I just can't seem to get with my camera. More on that will come later.
 I just love the clarity of the pictures. This is a spring arrangement I did last year. I do see though that on the right side it is a bit blurred and will need to work on that and making sure I have the setting on the right "speeds" - I am still learning the lingo of photography....
 I am much happier with this picture than I was with the picture I took a few days ago when I made this little arrangement for the guest room.
 Here is the other arrangement I made last week and have it on the shelf in the guest room. I was having difficulty finding just the right light and took this picture with several different settings and flashes. I can't wait until I get this room finished and get that out dated wallpaper off there and throw some fresh paint on it....so ignore the wallpaper.
 This is an Easter arrangement (yes I put Easter up already) from last year. The clarity of it suits me fine, although I still need more practice.
The rest of my bunny collection that I hope we get more of this year at work. I would like to have a larger vingnette of these guys.

Anyway.....I will be honing up on my photography skills with this camera and I will probably purchase it from him as it is for sale.....he is giving a good price and I can't pass it up. I love to take pictures, whether it be family, nature, floral, crafts and sporting events.
Now that I have spent the entire morning playing with this camera and researching online...I must get some work done!
