And the winner is…

I’d give you a drum roll but my rolls are a little rusty what with never practicing them. We bought a Nikon D90! Jack is so, so supportive. Once I decided which camera I wanted there was really no ratcheting back, and this is not the bottom-tier camera. I understand the gravity of this commitment, and in fact when we left I felt like I’d just gotten a tattoo. A tattoo I’d have to wait 6 hours for the battery to charge before I could enjoy.
So I’m standing in the store agonizing further and some stranger asks, “I hope I’m not intruding, but are you considering the D90?” and I say yes, and he says “What are you planning to use it for?” And I blurt out, “Cats” and then laugh, because well. It’s not like I’m buying the camera to make cash on weddings or become the next Annie Leibovitz. Let’s face it, some cat pictures will be taken.
Which is why you see the pic at left, which links to the first few shots I took (that I am willing to show you). I am clearly going to have to have a whole education in photography now (cart, horse, whatever order!) but the sales guy offered to get me in to a training session in February, so that’s awesome.
I am so excited, and so grateful to Jack for this present. He would not say it’s a present but it is and I am publicly thanking him profusely for this, because I know better. I hope to get real creative with this real fast!
