My Camera and I

So anyone that has seen me lately knows that pretty much where ever I go, so goes my camera. If not carried on me, it's usually in the car, just in case. I just thought I'd post a quick follow-up to my long ago blog when I was going back and forth, trying to figure out the best camera for my buck and that would fit my needs. I have to say, I am really happy with my Nikon D60. Sure, as soon as I bought it, Nikon pushed out a 12mp model (vs. my 10mp) but hey, oh well. I don't really need that many MP anyway.My first DSLR has been a learning experience, that's for sure. My girlfriend Violet (visit her at www.fireandearthphoto.com - she rocks) had been a huge source of guidance and advice. I am so excited to have seen how my photography has grown, not just because of the camera but my understanding of exposure, timing, composure...the camera helps, but it's just a tool for the artist's eye :)My collection has grown as well....gear bag, memory cards, books, filters, a flash - there sure is a lot out there! My camera came with the standard 18-55mm AF-VR Nikon lens, and I have also purchased the 55-200mm AF-VR as well.Along with the photography comes Photoshop, of course - I have Photoshop Elements 7.0 and although I've read through 3 different books now, I don't feel I have even scratched the surface in the depth of possibilities that this program can do.I'm going to keep working on my skills, learning and trying to improve - so don't be shy if you catch yourself in front of my camera in the near future! Stay tuned, I'll try to start posting some photos and Photoshop experiments in the near future for everyone to check out.
