Some fun with the new camera

I am the VERY HAPPY owner of a new D70 (thanks to my dear hubby) ---all shot on automode ( I got it last night and was too excited to learn) they're in bright non sun so not great but I 'm really happy with even such harsh conditions...they are straight out of the camera except for cropping...

Best parts---barely any shutter lag, it's fast, fast, fast and it's small but sturdy

Pics are of
1. My upside down swinger Caleb
2. My extreme sport girl, Anastasia
3. My friend (the one I did the maternity shots with the perfect belly) and the new little bub
4. And her beautiful daughter ( a month older than my little girl)

Congratulations on your new camera!

Glad to see you had the good sense to buy a NIKON!!! :-)

You know, you can now be a Nikon Samuai. ;-)

Great shots by the way! Great colors.

Glad to hear you got the new camera. Watch out world. Man your kids are too cute.

Great first images with the D70. You are going to love it. I have had mine now for about 3 week and I like it better everytime I use it. There is a little learning curve, but it has not been as bad as I had thought it might be. The fact that your husband supports your photograph passion is great. He sounds like he has many of the same good qualities that my wife has when it comes to my obsession with photography. She has supported me and my image making for the last 32 years. It didn't hurt that my photography brought us together to start with. I was paid by her than fellow to take some pictures of her. The next thing I know I have her photos all over my walls. I few months later we meet again this time there was no other fellow in the picture and as they say the rest is history. She is encouraging me to buy a Nikkor 80-200 f 2.8 now and I would really hate to disappoint her.

"and I would really hate to disappoint her."

Now that's an understanding spouse! By all means, DO NOT disappoint her!

:-)

No matter how much it takes, do what she asks! ;)

Until I purchased my first "L" lens, I didn't realize how much of a difference the lens quality can make. Now I have the 17-40 and IMO it's awesome. It's been on my camera for 3 weeks - since the day I bought it.

I know you won't let your wife down (heheh) and I'm looking forward to seeing those pics! :cool:

Natalie,
You've waited sooooooooo loooooooooong and been soooooooo patient. I'm thrilled that you finally got the D70! Great choice. Your first images look great. Can't you see the difference in quality already? They are sharp, beautiful color.....awesome.

I'm looking forward to seeing more pics. You have a whole new world opening up for you and I'm happy you're here to share it with us.

Congratulations! :) :) :D

PS - what lens do you have?

I'll be curious to see how it works out for you. These are very nice for right out of the box. Now you get to go mess some up while you're learning how to use all the features. :)
