Nikon D5100

After three calls to customer service over the span of a week, Nikon FINALLY shipped my camera battery, charger, and lens cap with next day shipping.  Maybe it would have happened sooner if the "top dog" wasn't in intensive care..but anyway YES FINALLY!

Yesterday I just played around getting to know my camera and the functions for a few minutes.  Took one blog worthy picture which was actually my seconds picture ever taken with the camera!

35 mm lens f1.8

Today I was at my dads house so I could take photos of the dogs and test the action shot settings!  I knew, since it was early in the morning, the lighting wouldn't be too attractive, but I was just too anxious to wait.  CeCe is a touch subject to photograph since she refuses to hold her startline stay for very long.

Next I wanted to try my macro lens out with action since I had done a simple test at my moms house and the macro seemed to pick up the action better.  I brought out Riley knowing he would wait until I called him across the jumps.  CeCe was so angry because I took out some cheese for Riley and she couldn't get any, but that's what you get for not holding your start line very well..!

Im super excited to try my camera out at Lindstrom!!  And Chrissy is happy because now she can get some good V-NATCH pictures!  Lindstrom will be a blast.  Chrissy and her family are driving down friday night and staying in our pop-up tent camper in our backyard!  Sara will be joining us Saturday night making a full house with five dogs!  Still have to clean my room..I should get on that now.
