I love my new camera!

After visiting Clara earlier this month and talking photo stuff with her I became really keen to get myself a DSLR camera....I found learning about all the camera stuff so fascinating...shutter speed, aperture, iso - it all makes sense to me now! :-)

After pestering Clara with a million questions the end result is that I am the very proud owner of a Canon EOS 50D and a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens! (a month ago all those letters and numbers would have just been gibberish to me! lol...)

I'm already entranced by how fast it shoots and the quality of photos that can be achieved...and I don't even know what I'm doing yet! I can't wait until I know how to use it properly and (hopefully) my photos will get better!

The weather has been absolutely miserable here over the last few days so they are mostly indoor photos...the first five were taken last night - I'm impressed by how a high iso can really compensate the fact that they were all taken in very dim corners of the house (except for the one of Luka which was him in the kitchen with a decent fluoro light).

All inside photos were taken with a 50mm 1.8 (an awesome lens that Clara gave me - it's very cool!)..

The last six photos were taken in the backyard with my 70-200mm in a brief break in the weather (seriously half an hour later it was bucketing down again!)

So here they are....
