Our Weekend in Pictures

Please excuse the number of new pics, but we got a new toy yesterday and have been playing with it since we got it home -- our first digital SLR camera! We LOVE it so far and I can't believe the difference in picture quality.

As you can see, we got to spend lots of time outdoors this weekend. THANK YOU LORD!!! I was about to lose my mind by Thursday, after several days of rain and weather too cold to take the boys outside. I'm just hoping the nice weather continues! What a difference it makes in all of our moods!

I wish I had time to write more, but our house is a DISASTER ... amazing how that happens every weekend. I must do some tidying before bed if I want our week to start out on the right foot. Enjoy the pics and I'll write more tomorrow, hopefully

Wow! Those pictures look like they were taken by a professional photographer! your boys are beautiful. I got an SLR for my xmas/bday present and i just LOVE it. Your right, it makes SUCH a difference in picture quality! And these are the days when we want to capture the best :)

Oooh! I love it too! We've really been thinking about getting an SLR camera too. Do you mind me asking which one you got? Did you get additional lenses??

Carolina Girl -- we opted for the Nikon D60 from Costo. It came with the 18-55mm lense and another 55-200mm lense and a camera bag. We also bought a few lense filters separately. It was the best deal we could find. Hope that helps! Researching these things was sooo hard! I felt like every review I read was written in a different language! The best thing we did was go to Best Buy and have someone explain everything about the cameras to us.

Hugs!

Wow! Awesome photos! I love our SLR, but my pics don't look as good as yours! Were you using the 55-200 lens for these pics? I know we need a new lens...was thinking about that one so I'd be cool to see some pics taken with it.

Thanks!

Oh ya...one more question! Do you know which option (mode) you shot the pics in?

Your boys are so cute!

Billie,

When I took those pics, I was using the 18-55mm lens that came with the camera and I'm pretty sure the camera was set to the child mode. I hope this helps!!
