My new camera!

Well after along time drooling over slr cameras and reading other inspirational blogs filled with the most breathtaking photos, my husband has finally given me the best present I could ever ask for, my very own canon slr 600D, I will probably spend the next couple of years without any presents, but I don't care as this is the best present ever and every time I turn it on it feels like Christmas to me anyway!

So after two months and one adult education class(I kind of know my way around the camera when placed on manual), I feel I can finally unleash myself on the world, well my little pocket of the world anyway!  I am taking my teachers advice and trying to practise, practise, practise and I am trying my hardest not to use the automatic button any more!  I am sure there will be times lol!  I still have a lot to learn and I am not sure how long it takes to get to that point where you feel as one with the came but I am going to give it a good go, even if I drive my two year old crazy pointing the camera at him all the time and dragging him to every corner of the world looking for fun locations!

It is so lovely to have a passion for something again, it seems like such a long time ago that I felt this excited about something, something just for me!  Now I have to try and live up to all my hype, hopefully, and the biggest reason for wanting the camera is so I can take photos of my gorgeous children to cherish in years to come, even if they tell me to go away!!!!!
