TILT: New Camera!
Things I love today: pictures taken with my brand-spankin-new DSLR camera!
Malabrigo Rios in Indecita
I sold off some yarn I wasn’t going to use, and hubby and I dug deep for the rest of the $. I am SO IN LOVE with this camera. We went for a walk in our neighborhood yesterday, and I literally stopped every ten seconds to take a new picture. I am now officially the most annoying person to take a walk with ever.
The camera body is a Canon Rebel T3. We could have spent $100-$200 more to get the version that’s a little newer–but the major difference seemed to be the number of megapixels, and for my purposes, 12.1 is quite enough, thank you very much.
Malabrigo Twist in Grapes
The 18-55mm lens that came with the camera is amazing, much better than I thought it was going to be, actually. We also ordered a 50mm f/1.8 lens, which is what I used to take these yarn pictures. It does an amazing short depth of field, as you can see:

Okay, I may have gone a little nuts with the yarn photography…
We’re going to take the camera out to the beach on Thursday and do a photoshoot for a few of my new designs. I can’t wait to see what they look like!
Very cool! After viewing all these gorgeous yarn shots, I think I need to finally read my camera’s user manual (at the very least)!
Congratulations on the new camera. I really want to get a digital slr. The pictures look nice.
Oh goodness…that malabringo is wonderful! I love all the colors! And yay to a new camera!
