So, the day has come. My new camera arrived. And I’m a happy girl.

I used my old camera to take a picture of my new one.

And here’s my new baby, a Nikon D60. Neal and I scored a huge deal on eBay. Everything’s new, and I got a boatload of stuff along with the camera. Two lenses, two cases, two tripods, lense filters, software, etc. Here’s a pic of the box of goodies.

I also took a shot of my old Nikon 35mm camera that my parents got me back in college for photography class.

OK, so now’s the time. You want to see the first shot I took with my D60? Do you? Do you?

Introducing….

Buddy! How cool is that pic?

It was dark when I got home so I had to use the flash, which was a bummer. I’m really looking forward to using natual light. But anyway, here’s some shots I took of the cats. I’m now completely head over heels in love with my camera. Neal should be jealous.

And here’s Neal and I.

So there you are. Oh, and click on each of the above photos. A box will pop up with a large size of the photo, and I think you can see the photo quality better that way.

I’m a little overwhelmed with all the options on this camera, but I’m really looking forward to having a blast taking photos. I’m sure I’ll make some fun stuff in the kitchen this weekend, just so I can practice food photography. And in honor of this day, I made a new blog category for “Photography.”

OK, I’m off to take 50 million more pics of the cats that I don’t need…
