A Wedding

I shot my first wedding recently, for a friend's daughter. I vehemently expressed that I am not a professional photographer, and weddings should definitely be shot by a professional!

I am comfortable shooting sports pictures, natural outside photo shoots and things of that nature. But a wedding... my heart still skips a beat just thinking about it.

Obviously I was very nervous, for you only have one shot to get it right. You don't get a do-over when shooting a wedding, you know.

A New Camera

I am so excited because I have a new camera. A Nikon D3000.

I've been asking for a D-SLR for quite a while now and my sweet dh has been researching and price checking for me. I know there are a few very competitive brands out there. I narrowed it down to the Nikon and the Canon. I think both are very comparable, but my brother-in-law is a professional photographer and he personally prefers Nikon, so I think that is probably what influenced my decision to purchase this one. I hope I won't be disappointed. I don't think I will.

I've already taken a few inside shots of my children. But I haven't had an opportunity to take outside pics because I received it later in the day. I'm really excited about getting to use it at our Awana Grand Prix tonight! Hopefully, I'll have some good pictures to post.
