Yesterday we headed out to Aplins' Farm for some fall fun. If you live in the area, I highly recommend it. Lots of cute photos ops and heaven for kids. Chris got my birthday/Christmas present a little early this year, a brand new Canon Rebel XSI with lots of extras. He said he is tired of paying photographers when I can take photos just as well. I had pointed out to him that my camera wasn't as nice so I wasn't going to get the same quality shots AND that I did not have their technical know how. Now that I have a super nice camera, I just need to focus on acquiring the technical know how. I am just feeling a little overwhelmed. Okay, a lot overwhelmed. I am so easily overwhelmed. I'm pretty good at the artistic side of photography but know next to nothing when it comes to the technical side. Plus, I suck with anything mechanical or electronic. It takes me awhile to feel comfortable with a new camera and I just don't like that getting to know you period. He has been feeling like I am not sufficiently grateful. I wanted to publicly let everyone know that he is the best gift giver ever! He never forgets important dates and puts lots of thought and effort into his gifts. He spent hours researching for just the right camera and the best deal. Thank you Chris!!!! It makes me feel better knowing you at least believe in me.

oh that was very nice of him!!! and you take great pictures. I have a rebel xt, if you learn some good techinques let me know.
Oh what a great gift!!! Maybe your Chris can talk to my Chris since my birthday is in just a couple of weeks. I am dying for the Nikon 40x. I have heard great things about the Canon Rebel, though. Do you have Adobe Photoshop 5.0? Its AWESOME for editing photos.
That looks like so much fun!!! Love the pictures
Chris has always been good at checking out the best deal. He taught me quite a bit about what to look for in a camera. Now if i could just set my pictures up as well as you do, Heather. You take wonderful pics.
