The new camera arrives

My new camera arrived. After it sat in its box for a couple of days I finally got it out and took a few test shots to start getting familiar with it. It shouldn't surprise you that the first few frames were of Sadie and Katie (I asked Gayle to be in the first picture but she looked at me like I was an idiot).

Sadie was understandably impressed with the new camera:

as was Katie:

Maybe they'll get more excited for me later.

(Shot with the Nikon D600 using the 50mm f/1.8 lens; aperture-priority, with aperture set to f/2.8; camera chose shutter speed of 1/50 second at ISO 560 (top) and 1100 (bottom); matrix-metered; auto white balance set with 0 trim (top) and M1 (magenta) trim (bottom); normal JPG.)

    I wish you many hours of enjoyment with your new camera, annoying Katie and Sadie (and Gayle) with it. The ones who are closest to us are rarely impressed with what we do ... just a fact we live with. :)

    It will be a pleasure to meet you in Fredericksburg in November!

    Don't greyhounds add an interesting perspective. Now...if you'd gotten a new comfy doggy bed...that might be interesting. Looking forward to seeing you at Dewey!
