A new camera

[Kav]

Some great friends donated a Panasonic DMC-LX3 to me. :cool:

Now I am a fan of taking Macro shots, and after messing around a bit I took this of our son's hand. (He's almost 3 months early.)

I hope you enjoy:

I think the Macro features are really going to make for some nice pictures. Keep them coming Dad!!

Nice shot but he looks like his nail need a clipping. I never use the macro but always like the way they turn out Have fun

Thanks for the great pics, Kav!

It's one step at a time on a long road. But before you know it, Quentin will be using that same camera to take pics of you!

I've been getting to learn controls on this camera a bit better and took this shot:

the full size one can be seen here: http://kavanaughmp.smugmug.com/Other/Random/middle/939459114_BegpV-O.jpg

Why take a picture of Mr. Snuffleupagus you may ask? Well, why not? :)

I figured it wouldn't take long before you started experimenting with the advanced features of the camera. Keep it up Kav, this is getting good.

I did some playing around in the courtyard they have at the NICU today for a little break. Feel free to CC

The "rule of thirds" right?

I did this one with the flash on, but at its lowest setting for some extra light

Same flower, but without the flash for softer edges

Another one with the flash

I'm not very happy with this one. I should have used manual focus with it.

One last one. I don't think I did a good job of drawing attention to the bug. But that's just something to work on.

Congrats on the baby! We had twins 7 weeks early, they were 4lbs 5oz.....like a real live baby doll. The pics look great! Best of luck to you!

Hey Kav - I think you owe us some new pictures.

Fair enough:

Enjoy, I should have some more ones soon.
