New Chicks & Tech

Mar 11

I have been lucky enough to be able to upgrade my faithful camera that is still amazing but not…shall we say a spring chick ;) I’ve upgraded to a new mirrorless body as well as a new 50mm Nikon Lens. Once I situated all my settings and learned some of the new tech I needed to get some practice! Though both my previous camera and this new mirrorless are Nikon, they are completely different. I have used the same camera for over 6 years, my camera before that had buttons in the same locations. This new one however, has thrown my muscle memory for a loop!

When I received my new camera I knew I was going to want to practice outside right away. I decided what could be more fun than taking pictures of new little baby chicks? ( I know that’s redundant!) Unfortunately I had to wait for the chicks to be a little older and for a warm day so they were comfy. This took a dreadful couple weeks but once the day was finally right, it was so cute and so much fun!

My kids had a blast holding them and putting them in their new coop once the photoshoot was over. I love locking in these precious childhood memories for my kids and myself! I have a terrible memory which I believe has had a hand in me becoming a pathological picture taker. When I see these pictures, I never forget how special these times are. I think it’s safe to say I like the new camera and lens. If this is just the first images using them? I’m very excited for all the art I’m going to create with them.
