It made me happy for awhile

I just bought Nikon D3000 from ebay and had it delivered to Laos from Hong Kong. I wasn’t sure why I needed to buy it. I have to blame it on ebay and my credit card; it’s so easy to buy things online these days.

This camera would be the second most expensive item (after Apple Macbook Pro) I’ve ever bought for myself.

Only a week after I had ordered it, I was surprised to have received it here in Xiengkhouang. I was so happy that I couldn’t stop smiling. I opened and put it back in the box. It’d been in the box for almost 3 days and I only opened it again when I bought a bag for it.

The camera looks so big and bulky. It has so many functions and I don’t know what to do with it.

It’s so beautiful that I don’t dare to hold it so often. It would take me awhile before I start playing with this toy.

nice. (for the macbook pro and the d3000).
i'm sure you'll learn to use the camera quickly. why didn't you choose the other nikons with video recording?

I'm planning to buy a separate video camera (I'll start to save again). I don't usually use a still camera to record videos.

Which brand of camera do you use? I like your photography and hope I could take nice photos too.

i also have the nikon, an old d40 but still in good working condition (despite having dropped it several times, tugged it through mud and rain in remote areas).
i want to save for a d300s but it's too expensive for me now.

thanks.
tweak with the aperture, shutter speed and the iso. and shoot in raw then use lightroom or aperture to process your raw photos. get a UV filter and/or polarizer for your lens too. that's what my friends told me before. hehehe

Thanks for the tips. I sure have a lot to learn.

I'll show you once I have a nice shot for your comment.
