If I sounded convinced before, I am twice as convinced now.

Yesterday, I borrowed my friend, Adam Jensen’s, camera.  It is a Nikon D60, a few models lower than what I am looking to purchase.  The D60 has been discontinued, but I wanted to see if what I was feeling was true.  1 – that a DSLR camera can take better pictures than a point and shoot.  My point and shoot overpowers this camera by 4 megapixels.  And 2 – If I could use my limited knowledge to transfer my dream of taking good pictures of my kids into a reality if given the proper equipment.

I would really like everyone’s feedback on the pictures either through email or a post on the blog.  Quite frankly, I am astounded at the results of my test.  It exceeded my expectations of my first shoot with a DSLR camera.  Here are some of the results of about 20 minutes of “shooting” the kids while they were playing in the yard.

  2. Those are really good! I love how it really focuses and brings out the person while the background is still there and looks good but isn't as prominent! Good Job!
    P.S. Brian has a major fake smile!!! He needs to work on that, did he get that from his dad?

  3. Super cool!!! I really love the first one of Kallie. Very cute and coy!! I agree with Charisse, you better start teaching the real smile to Brian. No sparkle in his eyes. That means "FAKE"!!! I love you Brian! Try to smile better than Daddy. At least your Daddy smiled right when he was a kid. Not so much now. It isn't too late to learn this talent. Just think of something really silly that you want to do to your dad and the smile will become real!!!!
