First pictures

These photographs have no real importance other than they're among the first group of photos that I've taken with my new Nikon D50.

first photo
Pardon the mess. Please. This is absolutely the very first photograph taken with the D50. I took this picture as soon as the battery had a full charge. At the time, I really hadn't read much of the manual so it was really just a point and click affair.


first closeup
When I took this photograph I had made my way through the manual once. I'm still not quite sure of what I'm doing, but I am having fun. Notice how the camera essentially removed the background all on its own in "close up" mode. Yeah, those are mine.


first portrait
Now, just to prove that my Danny wouldn't break the camera, I tried taking a picture of him in "portrait" mode. Yes, he is rather a pink man - it's not the lighting, the camera or anything else having an effect.

Hey, it works!

Yeah, it sure does. Now to get out and around town one of these weekends and see what I can find.
