His dad, Jim, who is also a photographer shoots with a Nikon. Every time Rick sees the pictures side by side he prefers the Canon hands down. But Jim swears by his Nikon and also takes great photos. I am not skilled enough to worry about which one I use so I am using one of Jim's Nikon's to learn with! And running around with a canon powershot in my purse when I am in a hurry :)<BR/><BR/>I know, those gosh darn barriers, money, time, HEALTH... unpredictable futures... it sure gets in the way! No easy answers... just hope and prayers for now!Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595982706357639001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-43911861758947061052008-11-16T13:59:00.000-06:002008-11-16T13:59:00.000-06:00Oh, I couldn't justify getting a dream camera (reg...Oh, I couldn't justify getting a dream camera (regardless of the fact I have no money)... since I can't travel to see my family and I currently can't leave the house I'm afraid Riley is my only subject! I have a decent little point and shoot with manual controls and IS, but it is SO HARD to take a good shot without flash, and I love natural shots. I'm always reading about aperture and shutter speeds... and have nothing to photograph and a camera that can't do the job. I'm such a nerd but I find it so interesting. :)<BR/><BR/>I've always used a Canon (I currently have a G7), but I helped my b-in-law pick out a DSLR for my sister (a Rebel xsi) and he got a great zoom lens... it's taken some lovely photos just on auto mode... which made me realize the camera really does make all the difference.<BR/><BR/>So anyway, I love the idea of it and learning about it, but have nothing to photograph :) What does Rick shoot with? I've heard amazing things about Nikon's too, but have never actually shot with one.Gitz 'n Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13827576212732423982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-21382728012524949602008-11-15T18:24:00.000-06:002008-11-15T18:24:00.000-06:00I am an extremely blessed woman, in many regards. ...I am an extremely blessed woman, in many regards. Oh Rick would tell you to just embrace that inner photographer! Not only would he share all of his equipment with you, he'd give you tips and tricks (if you needed them.) And if you can shoot already he'd probably offer you a job! <BR/><BR/>So what would your "dream" camera be? Obviously you have great subject matter already between all of your nieces and nephews and you take some darn cute photos of Riley!Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595982706357639001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-69567691806779069402008-11-15T13:38:00.000-06:002008-11-15T13:38:00.000-06:00Oh!

Except maybe a good mother-in-law (nice to here positive stories... some of my friends are envious of you right now!) :)<BR/><BR/>Is it ok that during that beautiful post about your sweet husband all I could look at and drool over was the camera in his picture???? Someday, in another lifetime, I'm going to be a photographer with a cool camera like that!!!Gitz 'n Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13827576212732423982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-38067817218687517672008-11-14T13:51:00.000-06:002008-11-14T13:51:00.000-06:00Robin you are hilarious!
