LMFAO! omg.. my husband would die if he saw this!!! hmmm life insurance?! JUST KIDDING!!!!!!! BAD joke... omg im rolling... a candy wrapper! ok.. ill get a pic up here in a min...

and to everyone else... thank you! yes im so excited! i really looked around at what i wanted verse what i needed... like the 5D would have been spectacular... but its not a necessity and the 40D is more what i need.. the new rebel xSi which is a huge upgrade from the xTi had more pixels, but isnt as fast and it doesn't have some of the options i really wanted. so the 40D it was! and there is a new lens that came out from canon that comes with the kit.. and it has the stabalizer option on it. how cool is that!?!!! cool i tell ya!

 

[althea2you]

ok, here is the new camera...

and here are a few pics of the new rics with the new camera... ha! i didnt have time today to really play with it and get some really good pictures... so i will probably do that tomorrow.. allthough i like taking pictures of my kids more... check this one out of my daughter..OT sorry

ok, back on topic...

the light blue, the green and the orange are my new ones...

the green one up close and personal

Wow Sarah, that Pic of you daughter is ART!! OMG, Very Well done!! I thought you had good glass because of the quality of the pics. It's a Canon lense and not an aftermarket, right? Oh yeah, nice rics too, 'specially that last shot. Have fun!

yeah i have all canon lenses, except for a wide angle zoom(which i really dont like very much) and thats a Tamron. i am looking into the sigma 28 or 30 mm f/1.8 right now. i would go for a canon one of those.. but i dont really want to pay 2-3 thousand dollars for it... especially not having a full frame sensor like the 5D or the mark ID series....if i did, i wouldnt get the full spectrum it is supposed to give, so i will go with sigma which is WAY cheaper, but still a great lens. i would really love the canon ones though! HA! and if i were ever to get my hands on a slr Leica... oh lord! i'd be in trouble! the glass on Leicas are Amazing! ok, annyway!!1 thank you for the compliments on my daughter picture... i try very hard at making every picture i take a "good" one. some are just snapshots, but i really try to make every picture look like i try! ok... i can really ramble when i get on the topic of photography... loce it loce loce it.. since i was little! and my kids do too! so i love to see that!

Sarah,

I see that you have the ability to do all those things. The photo of your daughter is very well done, with beautiful side lighting! You have a wonderful eye for a shot! Congrats on the new camera!

Love the ric!

Ok, she scratched the sensor on an awesome and very expensive camera. She broke her husbands awesome and very expensive TV.

hmmmm......

(note to self, if Sarah ever comes here, wrap her in bubble wrap)

 

[JoJo]

:LOL:

JWarren, I have a Nikon CoolPix, & i dont understand all the function on it. Let alone the high-tech cameras & lenses yall are refering to.

LMAO!!! they don't call me Grace for nothin! LOLOL omg, too funny! i really am not that accident prone either, its weird and FRUSTRATING... and one other thing.. computers always seem to hate me. if i have a problem and i try everything i know possible to troubleshoot it, nothing works.. my husband comes in, taps on 2 keys and WALA! problem fixed! (*&&*&%%^$#$@#@#!) seriously frustrating.. im not computer stupid either, so i don't know why computer or electronics don't like me... maybe they know im accident prone... hmmm definitely AI then!
