Hubby bought me a new camera! If breaking a rib gets this kind of attention, I may be up for some more pain. Not!
Now I start the job of reading through the manual. Yowzers. Do I get a degree for this.
🙂 Mama is happy.

A p r o n h e a d -- Lilly Green 
Hi Apron head Lilly, thanks for stopping by my blog today and liking my post. You have some gorgeous pictures here, I will follow your posts!
Thanks so much.
Nice hubby, lucky wifey…
Yeah, I think I should feel guilty! 🙂
Congrats! Have fun! I can hardly wait to see what you come up with! Wow!!
I’m a bit of a clutz so far. I keep forgetting to look through the viewfinder. 🙂
What kind of camera?
It’s a Canon Rebel EOS T2i.
nice!
That’s exactly what I have been eye-balling! Can’t wait to see the pics you start posting with that baby! 🙂
Well, I got stuck on 10-sec. timer. But I manged to get it off. 🙂 Learning curve!
I’m enjoying my Canon EOS 1000 (UK) or XS (USA). It’s fun learning new things, and getting to grips with the camera will be quite an adventure. I know I don’t use it to its fullest. I haven’t even got to the timer yet!!!!! Enjoy.
It seems complicated, but it will just take repetiton, I’m sure.
Lucky Lilly!
🙂
If you can use one tenth of what the manual has to tell you, you will be a better (wo)man than me.
I am not the kind of person who just dives in without reading the manual. But man, the info there is copious! At least, I can start with auto settings. But I put on the longer lens this morning, even with blurring migraine eyes, and I am sooo jazzed! My lemons never looked so beautiful! 🙂
Congratulations! can’t wait to see your pics from your new camera..
Battery charged, basic modes functional. 🙂 Now to download the software to the computer.
I am envious.. does your new camera have inter-changeable lenses? how big is the zoom?
It’s always so much fun to get a new toy. I’ve got a new Nikon on my wish list. Maybe I should break something. 🙂
Break something that can be cast–less painful!
New toys!! Awesome. Each new one has so many new features. I started out slow and am finally getting to where I can almost always remember each of the 32 different icons and what they mean. Husbands with surprises are the best. My wish list at the moment is a macro lens for the toy I got for Christmas.
Start saving and maybe he’ll get it for you. Last year I started saving for an upgrade ina juicer, and he sprung a surprise birthday for me with a money tree so I could get it. I was saving for an upgrade in a camera from selling bread, and he did this. Mmm, what do I want to save for next!
Our husbands are on the same page. What luck for us. 😀
Take it slow and easy and you’ll get through it……….. the manual, that is.
There are so many combinations, it’s overwhelming. The good thing is there is the basic auto with just aperture, ISO, and shutter adjustments. Small bites at a time.
