(I actually hate the movie Scarface)
My husband got me (or rather, let me get) a new camera for my birthday and I am super excited about it.
I have a lot to learn, but I am very excited about this camera so far. Hopefully you’ll see an improvement in the photography around here, but that might come at the cost of relatively less knitting. I am looking forward to this process though.
One of the really cool things about having a new camera is that it occurs to me to take photos of things that I find interesting. Here is a picture of the snow that fell the other night.
We live in the city, so all the streetlights really do make the snow that color. I love the sparkle, and I love the shadows cast by the fence.
One thing I am really excited about is playing around with those artsy, only-a-little-bit-actually-in-focus so popular on the knitting blogs.
Here are three knobs:
And here is one perfectly sharp knob with two blurry knobs:
I feel fancier already.

I so want one. You wouldn’t know it from my blog but I was a photography major in college. Can’t wait to get back to it one day. You definitely took some beautiful shots!

Very cool! I think that an SLR is going to be something I buy when I have “real job.” I’m jealous!

I love the “artsy” pictures. What camera did you get?

I got a Canon DSLR a few months ago and one of my goals for ‘09 is to learn all the things I can do with it. And I don’t like that movie either, despite using it as a title for one of my posts too (on the Fibertrends lamb toy.)

The click of an SLR is so satisfying, isn’t it? I like the snow photo, especially the little sparkles in the shadows.
