Thank you Dana :) I just got my new Canon this morning and was trying it out… SO much to learn!! But she is always a willing subject :)

Beautiful, Rachel. I love the b/w and the orton here, makes it very nice and moody. Yes she is gorgeous, too! Congratulations to your new camera, being the first shot with it, awesome, I just can not wait for more pics from you, and you will do awesome job with your new Friend! :)
Rachel Leigh replied
Thank you Mariann… it is so much more camera than I am used to, it is a bit overwhelming and my photos today just made me want to cry…..... I have so much to learn about this new thing, doesnt feel like my friend yet, haha. It feels more like a baby…. heavy and needs lots of attention :)
Thank you for your encouragement!

Mariann Kovats
Just think, not knowing what are you doing with your new “baby”, you took beautiful picture. This just will get better, and when it grows to become your friend, than you will fly and we will be there with you. :)
Rachel Leigh replied
Thank you :) I am too impatient with myself :)
DanaMS
Good luck with learning! I wasn’t that brave!!! I just bought a new camera too, Canon G9… Hope it’s any good, haven’t tried it yet… Much lighter and smaller then yours… Have fun!
Rachel Leigh replied
You too! Thank you Dana :)
Mariann Kovats
I know the feeling, just go and shoot, post and we tell you what an excellent job you did, sometimes we are our worst enemy as far as critique goes. Somehow we look at our work at times with a nit pic eye, not really being fair to ourselves. :) xoxox
