(Day 1) - New Toys!

Ever since I started this project (6 years ago), I've used my trusty Pentax K10D. It's an amazing camera that gave me truckloads of fun photos. But I felt it was time to upgrade. The new kid on the block is the Pentax K-3ii. One difference is that my previous camera was 10 megapixels while this one is 24. It's also a tad lighter, quieter, and has a mode that captures still subjects very well, all perfect for my toy photography excursions.

As you can tell, I'm not the only one with a new camera. CJ the Legographer has one too! So for the reminder of the month, I'll try to get used to my new camera as we explore CJ using his. :)


~I'll be super busy tomorrow so probably won't get around to posted until Thursday. See ya'll then!

Congratulations. It looks really cool. You and CJ are going to have a lot of fun with your new toys (cameras). I love the green background. It's perfect.

[Rosie Kerr]

Congrats on the newly acquired gear. 6 years is some good service, so it's time. Pentax would be delighted to talk to you! ;)

[Heather]

Congratulations! Can't wait to see all images you and CJ take with your new cameras.

Congrats on the new gear....I "shutter" with anticipation to see what you both will come up with.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Congrats on the new camera- although I'm sure it's you that produces those creative masterpieces and not the camera. But it sure is exciting when you can get a new one. Looking forward to seeing the "new and improved" photos from both of you!

[Chris K]

I am sure you guys will have a wonderful time together. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with

[Stephanie]

Have fun with your new camera Chris, and I love that little CJ got a new one as well, that's so cute and it made me smile. :)

@grammyn - No, it wasn't a birthday present. I've actually had it for a few months, just hadn't used it yet. But thank you! Just turned 27 today.

[katy]

@cjphoto I knew it was this week but you didin't say what day in the thread last week. Happiest of birthdays Chris!

[Mr. Spock]

A new camera is always an exciting event, congrats!

And a happy birthday, fellow Aquarius (my birthday is also 16 feb)

[Karen H]

Your camera is very nice, but I am jealous of cj's camera. Where ever did he find such a nice one? My little friends have been looking for a camera for ever so long and everything they find is barely identifiable as a camera.
