New Camera!!

I have a problem.

When I want something, I can't stop thinking about it until I get it.

Usually, it's nothing too crazy, but sometimes, this feeling applies to larger purchases. This week, I gave in to one of these "cravings."

....well, I actually caved and got a couple of things that had been on my wish list for a while.

1. Hunter Boots.

I've wanted these for a long time, so it's not like this was an impulsive purchase. Back in the spring, on a trip over to Buffalo, I decided that was the day to finally make that purchase. Unfortunately, my size 5 feet didn't allow me to come home with a pair that day. The only ones they had in my size were navy....and that was the only color I said I didn't want. I was upset that day, but then summer rolled around, and I got over it.

Now that it's September, the desire for those boots crept up again. I felt it was the perfect time to get a pair because I had a credit for a defective pair of sandals, meant the boots would only cost $20. Considering the store had my size, I had to get them!

2. DSLR Camera.

I know I mentioned that I was getting frustrated with my subpar point and shoot camera on the blog before.

I've been thinking about it for a while, and after doing a bit of research, I knew I had to get one. ASAP.

I ended up buying the Canon EOS Rebel t3i and even though I don't quite know how to use it just yet, I love it already! I ended up getting this one because I heard it was more user-friendly than the Nikon. I'm not sure if that's true, but when I played around with the camera this afternoon, I took some of the best pictures I've ever taken. I know they are only going to get better, so I'm really excited to play with it some more.

One of the first photos I took, and I love how this turned out!

This is probably one of the most stunning photos I've ever taken.

I wasn't quite dressed for an outfit shot, but I had to give it a try.

Wahoo!! New boots!

Seriously loving the details the camera captures...and the two bugs that made it into the shot by accident.

I've never taken a photo that crisp inside before!

My Mickee, who clearly just got a hair cut. Yuck.

My Ernie, who apparently needs a hair cut!

Any pointers for a new DSLR user?!
