What happens when...

[koshka_the_cat]

...thinking about getting a new camera happens to coincide with your tuition bill being significantly less than you expected it to be?

You, for the first time ever, get a clear picture of Koshka.

That's great, congrats! LOL, Koshka looks annoyed! As cats tend to do!

[koshka_the_cat]

Hee. Doesn't he? He looks all nice and pleasant then you take the photo and he puts on a typical cat look. Silly boy!

[chloeandrudy]

Good, this means more cute kitty photos!

[koshka_the_cat]

Hee. Always more kitties!

Koshka is lovely. Lola's eyes match what she is sitting on.

[koshka_the_cat]

They do match! I hadn't noticed. She has such pretty eyes :)

Try to shoot in RAW, (bigger file but better). When using JPEG every tim you open it, you loose detail. Upload in Bridge and save in TIFF. Play with your HIstogram, and play a bit with the lighting and Kelvin.

There is a good book that we use in Digital Photo 1 "Real World Digital Photography" (2nd Edition) by Katrin Eismann Peachpit Press.

Have Fun!

Thanks for the recommendation!

I'm mostly going to be doing more casual photography, but am looking forward to playing with things too :)

Koshka looks like a proper little prince, I love Pumpkin's attitude, Lola is a princess and Petunia looks just like a sweetie--her biggest concern seems to be taking a nap and getting cuddled!

BTW--I love my Nikon (the older D70 model). You won't regret it!!!

[koshka_the_cat]

Add running around being crazy, and those are Petunia's priorities!

And I already don't regret it--it's so much fun so far ;)
