Playing Around

I haven't really had much time to play much with the new camera... this afternoon the kids went outside to the swings and sandbox, and I took it out there to see what it could do.


I am loving this camera! It's lighter and smaller than our other Canon Rebel, and it is quick on taking a picture. I have been missing so many of "those perfect moments" because the other one wouldn't focus quick enough, or even at all (!), and now I hope to be able to capture more of them.

So far, I am thrilled!

EJ has been "trained" well - I have had a camera in her face since she was born, and she has got posing down to a "T"...


Cub has also had a camera pointed in his direction since birth, but he isn't as easy to photograph as EJ is. He's way too busy to flash his baby blues my way, and he's very much like the other men in our family... they do not like to show their teeth when they smile.

Here, Cub goes a step further.

It's as if he is saying, "Okay. I'll look at your camera, Mommy, but it's all on my terms."


And, what do you know, it is one of my favorite pictures of him!
