Bang, bang, shoot! Shoot as in camera!
Hello, Dear Ones! I'm so excited to tell you I have a new little friend! Mr. Precious bought me a new camera that will be forever attached to my dainty fingers! Isn't she pretty? She's a Canon Rebel T3i. My friend Brenda at Cozy Little House helped me decide! I wanted easy and pretty and she said these little Rebels were the way to go!

So I've had my new Rebel, that I've named Reba, less than 24 hours and I've been snapping my tiny heart out! I'm having a ball and loving the results and just wanted to show you some of my new snaps with Reba!
Went out into the back yard and snapped some plants. I hope you'll enjoy these...
Now it's been so hard for me to snap glass. Now look at these...
Good morning sunshine...I'm loving this!
I think I'll even be playing my little Note Songs for you clearer and sharper! :)
And even my favorite brown eyed girl, Chloe Dawn sat still long enough for a snap!!
Did I tell you I was excited!!! :)
Be a bunch of snapping sweeties,
Shelia ;)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song~
Bang-Bang
Bang bang you shot me down
Bang bang I hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang my baby shot me down
I was five and you were six
We rode on horses made of sticks I wore black you wore white
You would always win the fight
Bang bang you shot me down
Bang bang I hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang my baby shot me down
Seasons came and changed the time I grew up I called you mine
You would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play
Bang bang you shot me down
Bang bang I hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang my baby shot me down
Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
After echoes from a gun
We both vowed that we'd be one
Now you're gone I don't know why
Sometimes I cry
You didn't say goodbye
You didn't take the time to lie
Bang bang you shot me down
Bang bang I hit the ground
Bang bang that awful sound
Bang bang my baby shot me down

ReplyDeleteI have a Canon Rebel EOS and just love it also, sweetpea. I think they are the best cameras for the money. It's funny but just this morning I was thinking of the best way to photograph glass and then I come here and read your blog. Okay, did you use a flash with it or not? You're right; the photos are beautiful!!!
ReplyDeletexoxo,

Shelia honey Reba is wonderful! Those pics are just beautiful. Now I want one.. great..
ReplyDeleteLucky you! I am still waiting on my big girl camera. I can't wait. Your shots are great.
ReplyDeleteShelia these photos are awesome. So detailed.
ReplyDeleteMy daughers just got the same camera. I guess I
now need to check them out too. My camera is so old. Lovely pictures I enjoyed all the out door
photos.
I'm so excited for you, Shelia! I can't get over the shot of the wood on your piano! WOW! And the glass shots, and of course, Chloe Dawn who is ever so beautiful, old camera or new.
ReplyDeleteI might have to get one of these at some point. I would love for my pictures to take on more life. Particularly of the godchildren.
Love you...
XO,
Sheila (who is getting ready for Lindsay & Co.'s visit!)
Oh, how lucky you are, Shelia!! I would love to have a new camera, but I have little if no patience with manuals!! You took some beautiful pictures...I love the plants and flowers and the ones of your glass pretties are clear as a bell!! Have fun with your new BFF!!

Sheila has a new toy-Woo Hoo! Great pics, the fern is knocking my socks off and boy would I love to shoot glass! Have fun Sheila and enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new camera! You are going to love taking pics with it and you already have taken some great ones. They are so much better than a point and shoot for more serious photography. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia, You will LOVE this camera. It makes you feel like a pro!! :) I have the same one and just can't live with out it... I still take my little camera when I travel... But I never love my pics as much. It was the best blogging investment that I have made!
ReplyDelete~Liz
Great camera and great subjects! Your dog is cute. By the way, one of my favorite movies is "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane." So many times in life I can relate things to that movie. A classic.
ReplyDeleteGive your little doggie a big hug for me!
Lorraine
I have the Rebel T2i for a few months and it is already outdated! :(

Shelia, I am the prettiest shade of green with envy...that camera was on my 'I Want' list for 2011. Go ahead and enjoy it enough for both or us.

ReplyDeleteOh Shelia, I'm jealous of your new toy and, of course, your shiny piano!! I am needing a camera really badly, but it's going to have to wait! The wedding was fabulous, and we had a lot of fun playing it together. Now Easter...
