been praying for this for a long time

by Grace on October 3, 2008

Last summer, M gave me this:

He finally bought one for me after I persuaded him (after my brother persuaded me!) that Pristine will only be a small child once and that we should capture precious moments with her with a better camera. We also live in a place with corners worthy to be photographed.

He was silent for a while, I bet recalling the figures of our financial sheet he maintains and told me he’ll think about it. I thought that was it, I’m not going to have a nice, real camera anytime now and I was ok with it. But what do you know, the man adores me, he gave me one!! which probably means I won’t have any birthday, Christmas, Valentines gift for the next 5 years but I don’t care hee hee.

Here are some photos taken with my new Canon EOS Kiss X2 (Canon EOS 450D/Canon Rebel Digital Xsi model name abroad):

I’ve never been this excited to go out and take photos! For the meantime, I’m waiting for the humidity to go down (it’s still hovering around 50-70% now). I don’t want to take my camera out right now because the lens will fog, dirt will stick to it!

Oh, I just love it so much it’s making me paranoid.

although i have been itching to get a new camera myself, i don’t think i’d get something like that – too bulky! but the photos are really great …

Congratulation! Have fun with it:)

Congratulation! Enjoy your camera. I have switched back and forth from SLR and compact digital. Now I want to get back to SLR and I think I need a good lens to really take advantage of the SLR camera.

Great pictures!

Congrats on your new toy! I look forward to seeing your pics!

Great camera! I have got almost the same model – unfortunately not a digital one (mine is 10 years old). With SLRs you can take great pictures, but I was often too lazy to lug the big thing around and nowadays I only use my small point-and-shoot digicam for everything. It’s still a Canon, though. :)

My favorite brand. Do you love new toys? I know I do. Congrats on the new equipment. You’ll be taking great shots for quite some time.

The more interested you are in taking photos, the more you will make the effort to take great photos. I like the ones you’ve taken and posted of Pristine. You won’t regret the camera investment, and neither will your husband.
