Gratitude Monday -- New Camera Edition

My birthday was Friday as noted on that date here on the blog.
I am grateful for many things in my life and among them that I've lasted this long.
I had a good birthday which included brunch and dinner on Saturday. It was way more relaxing to hold over the celebrations a day.
I welcomed it because it let me have a double birthday.
Among my gifts was a Nikon CoolPix. I've wanted a good point-and-shoot for quite some time as the Pentax gets a little heavy on the neck when we travel.
I picked out the camera few weeks ago. It's lightweight, has more features than I may ever use, and the zoom equivalent is 675 mm in the Old Tongue.

Nikon Test 021
It's added colour to my life.
Nikon Test 035
And I really think it's helping me branch out.

From those views, it looks like it's going to be a nice balance of things you want. Enjoy your cool, new camera!

Thanks, Messymimi. LOL on the pun.

I asked for a new camera for Christmas so that I can send the older DSLR out for cleaning for several weeks. Cannot be in withdrawal that long.

Leah J. Utas said...

Totally understand, Tabor.

Lovely shots and can't wait to see more of what your new toy captures!

Leah J. Utas said...

Thank you, J Graham. There're plenty more where these came from.

I got my first DSLR earlier this year. It's been a blast to learn how to use it. Taking pictures -- even with my phone -- has become one of my favorite things to do. Have a blast, I'm sure you will!

Chris, I love taking pics and I'm having fun learning all the features on this one. I am currently mad for the B&W option.

I wouldn't be going out on a limb to say that I have to agree. Congrats on the new toy.

Good one, Hilary. Thanks.
