the kids are all here

Today we hung out with Lucy, Henry, Micah and Erin while Sara went to Atlanta on a shoot. It was really fun watching all three kids - they are so crazy different. 

Lucy in the Bumbo, chewing/sucking on a spatula while Erin tries out the Nikon... Hehe.

After Sara got back, I played around with her new Nikon D700! :D I had already shot with Amy's D700, but this time I got to use Sara's new 35mm and 125mm macro (or something like that). It was fun, I really enjoy having sharp photos. 

I am very happy with today's pictures. :) I've been taking fewer and fewer repeated pictures, and I'm liking it that way. You know, I just take one pictures of my breakfast, because that's all I am going to use. There's no need to take four or five, just get it right the first time and be done. I had to take a few more with the Nikon, because I'm not used to the locations of the dials and buttons. 

Sometimes I have to remind myself that I am blogging for myself. I find myself wondering what other people would want to see... but that's silly. I follow blogs because I want to see what they want to post, not because I want to see what they think I want to see. I am documenting my life in pictures and writing. It makes everything so much easier when I remember my thesis. :)

Good night!

These are all photos taken with Amy's Nikon. Sara is seriously thinking about switching camera companies, and after using Amy's Nikon, I am on board. The pictures are so bloody sharp. It's ridiculous. Now, you probably can't tell from my 700 pixel wide images on here, but it's impressive. And nothing really beats a sharp photo... Well, a full frame 50mm shot is pretty sweet, but when you mix that with utter sharpness, wow. Those are some nice images.

On the right is the quilt that Mom made for Lucy. It is soooo cute. :)

She's so cute and ticklish. :D Her expressions change so fast. She went from smiling up there, to that epic straight face, to laughing again. So silly.

So, those are my favorite from the day of Nikon shooting. I love them all, they are so nice and sharp and clean. Mmmm. :) If only I could afford one myself!
