(not so) Wordless Wednesday:Pictures from my new point of view.

I know it's wordless Wednesday and technically this isn't wordless, so I'll make it short
I'm not a photographer. I don't play one on TV or my blog for that matter, but I do play one at home. I take pictures for every event, occasion and even the occasional temper tantrum. You should try it. It's therapeutic and maybe when they are 16, you'll have leverage with a little embarrassing blackmail. Anyway, for my birthday my husband bought me a Nikon D3000, which was a nice upgrade from my Canon Power Shot, which I loved. But my Nikon is perfect. I haven't read the instruction manual yet, so I barley understand it, I know that should be first, but I tend to do things a little backwards. I've had it about 4 days and have taken about 2,000 pictures. These are my favorite pictures so far, the pictures are more clear, vibrant and capture the subject with great quality and clarity. I love it. Taking pictures is fun, easy and addicting, I hadn't realized I was taking so many pictures until my son, who'd rather shove a car in front of his face then actually smile, asked annoyingly, "Why do you always have to take pictures?", and I replied, "That's what mommy does!" Duh! 
Enjoy.

    Your kids are simply adorable. Love the pix. Came by because I like the name of your blog and am adding it to my list of Hot Blog Titles. I used to live in NJ and now I blog about cool stuff to do with families in London. So we have quite a lot in common!

    Awesome pictures. I got a D3000 for Valentine's Day and I am in love with it. (Oh and don't feel badly, I still haven't read my manual!)

    Ha! That's about how many picutures I took in the first couple days of owning my camera. Now it's a month later, I've taken 4000. So I've slowed down considerably. :)

    Learn how to use it, you'll be so thankful you did. There are some great online tutorials out there.

    I got my Nikon for my birthday as well...about a year ago. And have not read up on all its features yet. It does so much and I love it.

    I totally understand about doing things backwards. You're doing a lot better than I am because I've had my camera (Nikon D5000) for almost one year and I still haven't read my manual. I know I'm missing out on some cool features.

    Yes, that is what mommies do. We take pictures (lots and lots).

    Thanks so much for stopping by and linking up. Don't forget to come back tomorrow and see if you guessed correctly for the mystery photo. Have a great day.

    well you could have fooled me that you're not a professional photographer! These pictures are great! I have a Nikon D5000 and I LOVE it! But to understand it, you should take a class...the manual's not that helpful.
