Playing with the new Nikon

These are a couple of sample shots I took with the new camera, nothing special,but I do love the clarity of the pictures.
Tomorrow I plan to go to the "Bouquets to Art" at the De Young museum in San Francisco. Last year I got very frustrated with the camera I had,and the quality of photos that I got from it. This year, barring the people not stressing me out, I may have some beautiful photos to share with you. For those who don't remember my post last year, it is a show where floral designers interpret a work of art in the museum in a floral display. It is always so much fun, and you can't believe the creativity of some of the designers. So, stay tuned for those. They will be much prettier, I hope, than the above boring photos :)

  1. Elizabeth,
    Such beautiful shots! You started shooting sooner than I did when we got the new camera. I was so afraid of it. You go Girl! Or as Saara my daughter-in-law would say, "Brava Chica!"

    ps : U2 ticket sale for the stade de france Paris / july 11th starting online 9.30am french time tomorrow (and most likely for one hour or so only !) --- there's another date available on the french riviera (Nice) --- that was just in case you're interested... going to such a concert abroad makes it even better ! ;)

  3. LOVE the new camera. I'm envious beyond belief. Never in a million years would I ever think I would want so badly to own a decent camera. But blogging has made me many things I never thought I'd be.

    Right before I read your post I was visiting Cece over at All Dolled Up and she posted about the same exhibit.

  6. Hello Elizabeth! Thanks for visiting my page, for leaving a comment. I love your blog. One of my favorite Ella Fitzgerald songs has a line about gossamer wings. And the art show you attended -- I've never seen anything like it in my life! Wonderful. Thanks for shooting it so well so we could all enjoy it.
