Why yes. Santa came early in this house. He thought it was necessary for me to get familiar with this guy before Christmas.<\/p>\n

\"SONY<\/p>\n

I’m so excited I can hardly contain my joy! These shots were taken with my Sony a55 with the 50mm 1.4 lens. Shot this morning on our kitchen table.<\/p>\n

\"SONY<\/a><\/p>\n

Night and day, that’s how I compare this camera upside my Sony. And I can’t wait to jump right in as I have so much to learn before I feel comfortable taking shots.<\/p>\n

Sure, I’ve already taken shots, but just not the artsy fartsy manual setting type shots that I prefer.<\/p>\n

So this guy arrived in the mail yesterday (late morning) and the hubs was adamant that I open it. However, I promised him that I would wait until he got home.<\/p>\n

So to take my mind away from\u00a0the gift (I knew what I was getting), I ran a few errands.<\/p>\n

I was just 10 min. out when my cell phone rang.<\/p>\n

It was the hubs inquiring what I was up to.<\/p>\n

Turns out he rushed home from work to surprise me. He really wanted me to have it right away.<\/p>\n

I was downhearted that I had just missed him.<\/p>\n

But he assured me that he opened the ups box and that the camera was waiting for me to unwrap as soon as I got home.<\/p>\n

Once I got back to the house, I didn’t have it in me to open. I just couldn’t do it without him. I wanted him to be here so that I could experience that joy with him. So I waited for him to come home before madly opening the box.<\/p>\n

I still haven’t figured it all out, but I have until Christmas to get lots of practice.<\/p>\n

And with that, I’m out of here such that I can learn how to adjust the settings.<\/p>\n

Soon, it will be set up in manual mode and I’ll be snapping my heart out, no doubt.<\/p>\n

More pix to come.<\/p>\n
