Hello luvs,

Remember when I asked about camera help well…

check out my new camera

I got a Nikon D3000.

Thanks to my wonderful family for an early Christmas gift ; )

I got the Nikon because my older sister has one,  she likes Nikon products, plus if I have a problem she can help me! And we can share lenses and stuff ; )

My camera bag.

I am actually a little nervous and scared to use this camera, because I have never had such a nice one.  I hope to watch the DVD on it today, and then start playing with it!!

Does anyone else have a Nikon? Any tips?

Why did I get a new camera? Well besides upgrading from my very old Canon powershot….I am going to FOODBUZZ blogger festival!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited and nervous!!! I remember seeing all the great photos and reading about it last year, and thought that sounds like fun…food, wine and friends, perfect! So I decided I will go this year. It is just me going, Lori will not be attending :( maybe next year.

Who else is going to foodbuzz?? Please let me know so we can meet ; )

Okay I better go learn how to use this camera, haha. Lori and I hope this camera will help with our quality of pictures for our recipes ;) That is if I can figure it out!

And other fun news – go enter our Living Harvest Giveaway if you haven’t yet!! They make really great dairy free alternative products!

Till next time,

Michelle

I love my Nikon DSLR. I actually bought the “For Dummies” book to help me through some of the more complicated steps with the camera. It really breaks it down for you. Good luck and enjoy. I have had my Nikon over a year and I still treat it like my baby. ;-)

Thanks Erin. I just might have to get that book too! I am glad you like your Nikon!

Congrats! The camera looks daunting but awesome. Great t-shirt you’re wearing there too. Just right for getting ready for food buzz! I know so little about that and would love to learn more vicariously through you guys. Hope you have a great trip and meet some great friends.
love
