Started a new blog for the Photowalk

This is not the blog I am using for the 2011 photowalk.
I started a different blog for the photowalk as was suggested in the forum at Elements village .It will be better to keep these digiscraping posts separate from the photowalk.
Here is the link to my 2011 Photowalk blog:
2011 PhotoWalk
Hopefully those who signed up to follow this blog for the photowalk will notice I changed my blog for the challenge & will follow there.

365 Challenge

This already is exciting & hasn't even officially started. I've got my theme list printed out , spruced up this blog by adding a new header & BG paper,got comments from fellow challenge participants & some followers of my blog for the challenge! Wow
I went to the share site at Shutterfly for the challenge & that looks very interesting too.

My New Camera

I did it! I bought myself a new camera for Christmas. A Nikon D5000 with 18-55 & a 55-200 VR zoom lenses.
It was hard for me to buy it because I am such a pragmatic person & I have a fijifilm finepix point & shoot camera that works just fine. I've wondered about D-SLR cameras for a while & have never had one . I have no intentions of even being an amateur photographer.I just want to take nice photos of my famiy for memory keeping & for my digitalscrapbooking. I've been reassured this camera will beat the pants off my point & shoot.
I signed up for 365 Challenge at Elements Village. In 2011 a photo a day to be taken using a theme list & posted on a blog to share with other members taking the challenge. It will be a great way to learn how to use my new camera. I've spent an evening reading the manual.It will take me a long time to learn this camera.First I will use auto mode & then just experiment with the two lens,then on to scene modes & maybe down the line I will venture a try at manual mode.But that is in the future.
