WOYWW #147

Hello Fellow WOYWWers

The mess didn't change, it just got added to.

M&Ms were for photography purposes, I did not get tempted to eat one.

Stamped images I did last night at stamp group and some Magnolia Stamps lent to me ready to stamp up.

Must clean up this mess and the bed is still full of craft stuff so its been almost a month not sleeping on the bed hahahaha

Visit more mess at Julia's

Check out the size of my Nikon S630 point and shoot that I've been using compared to the 

Canon EOS 600D, the lens is bigger than the Nikon LOL

Well I survived my first week using my NEW BABY Canon EOS 600D,
this will be its acronym CE6D

To say this camera is overwhelming is an understatement, seriously and honestly all the mothers out there will relate when I say its like having a new baby. Everything is unexpected.
Even though the weekend prior to taking receipt of the camera,
I had watched 6 hours straight of DVDs going through the basics.

Have you ever smelt a new camera?
OH MY GOODNESS I was nearly drunk on it.
It's like a new car smell.
You just want to sniff and sniff and not lose that intoxicating aroma.
My nose kept imprinting on the back of the LCD screen whilst looking through the viewfinder.

Some wonderful ladies over at WOYWW have given me wonderful tips and links to photographic sites that I really appreciate, so if you're out there and watching me learn this baby and know of any links I can follow or look up, I am not afraid to say HELP!!!!

I googled and found Canberra Photographic Society which I am going to attend very gingerly and hide at the back of the class, I'll just take my Nikon and not let on that I have a REAL camera.

Here are some photography sites I am going to stalk

and of course Mr Crafty showed me this site

 It was hard to choose a 'best' picture because I took a lot of 'duds' this week with the new camera.
Awaiting delivery of my Macro lens so I can really do proper macros, the above photo was taken standing 2 metres away.

WOYWW #146 New Canon Camera

The Baby has arrived!!!

My first DSLR and boy was it worth the wait, its a
Canon EOS 600D with twin lens

As you can see the desk has not changed except that it got dumped on more 

and when the camera arrived all the innards of the box littered the table.

Opps I can see clothes on it still!!

Mr Crafty dug out his tripods, so I now own 3 tripods lol

DD Photographer will inherit the baby one

the one on the left is the one I bought called a Manfrotto

it is yummylicious

This is what it can do, spread its legs, the middle column

folds down horizontally to take macros

I bought these to help me along

ok it took me 2 hours to read the manual and all I managed to do was put in the SD card and battery and turn it on, I tried focusing with the EFS 55-250mm lens and everything was out of focus, so back to reading the manual again. Doesn't help that I am extremely tired, so I guess I will just have to go to bed and wake up fresh and try and learn this baby.

So what do you think? Do you like it?

Of course all the photos above were taken on the Nikon Coolpix S630 until I work out the DSLR

Spent 6 hours on the weekend watching DVDs of the basics of using a DSLR

I learnt that this type of photography is called Fine Art.

After I took this photo and 3 others I unintentionally pressed a button and now it wont take any more photos LOL, so its back to the manual to read what I did wrong

First picture from the Canon, can you guess what it is? I used the 55-260mm lens on this and don't ask me what settings it was on, I just turned the dial until it would click.

Hop on over to Jan's place to see what other people are up to in their craft areas.
