I'm happy. Actually, I'm thrilled beyond belief! I bought the camera I have been dreaming about for the last few months and I'm loving it! The Canon Rebel T2i Digital SLR is a thing of beauty, especially if you are coming from a point and shoot camera. Oh, my! What a difference in the quality of the pictures. I cannot say that enough.
This camera has been hard to get ahold of. In order to buy just the body, you really have be continuously checking to see if it becomes available and when it does, you need to quickly buy it. Once a store has it, I have seen it sold out in less than an hour. I just happened to be on vacation and had the time to watch it for days on end. It became available and I snatched it!
I got it a few days ago and have been playing with it ever since. I am new to the whole switching lenses on a camera thing and am feeling a bit overwhelmed with all that I have to learn but I am having a blast in the process. It only took me a half an hour to figure out how to take my first picture! Like I said people, I'm new to this. Once I figured it out, I was taking pictures of everything in my home. It was raining, so outside pictures were out of the question.
So tonight, there were some fireworks going on and I was excited about taking some pictures and videos of them. Unfortunately, I kind of forgot that the lens doesn't have zoom capabilities and we were about five miles away so the fireworks look like bright little specks of light from where we were standing. I was bummed. I was planning on posting my first pictures on here for all (one) of my followers (hi, Grandma J!). But this is what they would have looked like so let's just pretend for a minute.
Oh!
Ah!
Okay, they probably wouldn't have looked that good but someday they will once I figure out what I'm doing. Maybe by July 4th. Maybe. There are about 352 different functions I need to learn first. Wish me luck!
