A handful of you have asked for the scoop on my camera.
Let me begin by reminding you that I have NO idea what I’m doing when it comes to photography–if you read this post, then you already know what I’m talking about.
I take every picture on auto–every.single.one.
I have lofty goals of one day being a girly who knows the meaning of words like aperture, exposure and ISO {yep, had to google those}.
But until then, my current methods will suffice.
Allow me to introduce you to Camera #1:
{Canon Power Shot SX20 IS, 12.1 mega pixels}
The Canon was my first camera. It’s not intimidating at all. I currently use it to take all my self portrait and most product review pictures. I LOVE this camera for anything close up and objects that are very still. I have never had any luck taking a picture of anything moving with this camera {like, say a very energetic toddler}.
Here are some of the pictures I have used this camera for:
And now, meet Camera #2–the Nikon, my baby.
Nikon D3100 Digital SLR Camera & 18-55mm VR + 55-200mm VR Lens with 16GB Card + Filters + Case + Accessory Kit
I got this bad boy for Christmas and I love it. I have only taken a handful of my self-portraits and product reviews with this camera, because I haven’t yet taken enough time to figure out how to get it to stay focused for close up pictures. Here are two somewhat clear pictures out of about 50 that I took.

So until I learn all the ins and out,
I use it on “auto” and take fun/fail proof pictures like these:

I got a great deal on my Nikon through Amazon.
It came with a whole bunch of extra goodies, including another lens and a deluxe carrying case. Here is a link to the package I ordered:
And then I ordered this book,
because I’m a dummy.
And that’s the scoop!
What kind of camera do you use?
Or dream of using?
