An early present

For so long Ive wanted a DSLR. I'd lust over peoples glorious photos taken on one and I'd try so hard to replicate the same sort of clear, light filled images with my own plain old 'point and shoot'. But, of course, it just wasnt the same.

Money was always the issue, I couldnt justify spending that amount of money, especially as the last 18mths have been quite tough money wise. But we're picking ourselves up and now that Husby is working casually and Ive been saving like crazy, I decided maybe now would be the time to start looking again. Plus it was coming up to that crazy time of year...Xmas but also my birthday.

I found my new love on Gumtree for a steal and thought I better just go for it and take the plunge.

So I did. And I couldnt be happier.

Today I spent all day click, clicking away at anything and anyone.

Hre are some of my very first SLR shots. I basically just looked for anything of interest around my place. I also took her to the beach...but those are for another post....
