been praying for this for a long time

Last summer, M gave me this:

He finally bought one for me after I persuaded him (after my brother persuaded me!) that Pristine will only be a small child once and that we should capture precious moments with her with a better camera. We also live in a place with corners worthy to be photographed.

He was silent for a while, I bet recalling the figures of our financial sheet he maintains and told me he’ll think about it. I thought that was it, I’m not going to have a nice, real camera anytime now and I was ok with it. But what do you know, the man adores me, he gave me one!! which probably means I won’t have any birthday, Christmas, Valentines gift for the next 5 years but I don’t care hee hee.

Here are some photos taken with my new Canon EOS Kiss X2 (Canon EOS 450D/Canon Rebel Digital Xsi model name abroad):

I’ve never been this excited to go out and take photos! For the meantime, I’m waiting for the humidity to go down (it’s still hovering around 50-70% now). I don’t want to take my camera out right now because the lens will fog, dirt will stick to it!

Oh, I just love it so much it’s making me paranoid.

although i have been itching to get a new camera myself, i don’t think i’d get something like that – too bulky! but the photos are really great …

Congratulation! Enjoy your camera. I have switched back and forth from SLR and compact digital. Now I want to get back to SLR and I think I need a good lens to really take advantage of the SLR camera.

Great pictures!

Great camera! I have got almost the same model – unfortunately not a digital one (mine is 10 years old). With SLRs you can take great pictures, but I was often too lazy to lug the big thing around and nowadays I only use my small point-and-shoot digicam for everything. It’s still a Canon, though. :)

The more interested you are in taking photos, the more you will make the effort to take great photos. I like the ones you’ve taken and posted of Pristine. You won’t regret the camera investment, and neither will your husband.
