New Camera

This year for Natalie's birthday I decided to get her a new camera. About a week ago I was looking online and tried to decide which one to get her. I thought I had made a decision with the Nikon D3200 but my uncle e-mailed me and told me to get the D5100 instead. I followed his advice and got the camera in the mail Monday afternoon.
 
Natalie's birthday is still five weeks away. I was going to hide the camera in the safe but the box was big and I would have had to move a lot of things around. So I told Adri to ask Natalie if she wants to wait until her birthday. Natalie walked in the room and without it being wrapped, "surprise".
 
The next day I decided we should all go up South Mountain to try this thing out. So yesterday after work we made the drive up the mountain and took some pictures. I have to say, this camera was quite the upgrade from my Canon S3IS. It's fast, the pictures are really sharp, and it was a really good investment. But don't take my word for it, look at the pictures below.
 

Decided it was time to teach Adri how to play football. She loves to try to play with my football all the time but there is a no ball rule in the house. She had a really fun time playing football with me yesterday.











Downtown Phoenix.
Of course, shaking her booty.
I tried to capture a classic Sonoran Desert scene. I think this turned out decent but I was about 2 minutes too late from having a great picture.
