Playing with my new Lens

These are the first pictures I've taken with the new lens Brian got me for Christmas. I LOVE IT!! It's a Tamron 70-200 f/2.8. I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with it. Wish I had the time to take some photography classes, because there's so much I don't know about my camera, my lenses and photography in general. Hopefully I can get better with a lot of practice too.

For the record, I'm not very fond of this picture. I look terrible. But I like how the lens was able to keep me in focus and really blur out the background. (pretty darn cool) I love pictures like these. Too bad my really nice camera/lens can't make me look better!!! :)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year with both my parents and Brian's parents. Everyone decided to meet at our house at 5:30 am, so that they could see the kids wake up and see what Santa brought them. We had to plan it early, because I had to be to work at 11:00 am. (It was my turn to work Christmas this year.) Daxon was so excited to see what Santa left for him! He got a Nintendo DS with 3 games, a Nerf battle axe, shield, and sword, and a Bop It from Santa. Destri got a baby doll, stroller, crib, and a princess chair from Santa. They of course got spoiled by us, along with their grandparents. Brian got me a really nice lens for my Nikon (which I am totally excited about!!) I got him some nice warm snow camo for his coyote hunting! My mom and dad got me a forerunner watch and some other fun stuff. Brian got a really nice ice tent from his parents. We are so excited to go ice fishing!! :) It was a fantastic morning we were able to spend together. I am lucky to have such a wonderful family! It was a very Merry Christmas!!
