We all came to RetouchPro.com because we are interested in editing photos -- retouching new or old images, restoring damaged images, or creating painterly impressions from a photo.Everything we do here starts with the photographic image.
The image came first. That is where my fascination still lies.
My first DSLR! Nikon D40
The prices went down on the Nikon D40 kit, and my resistance went down further, resulting in my proud ownership of a new DSLR. The weather changed from our typical sunny days to thick, dark clouds, rain and wind. I took some test shots of the cats, the furniture, the printer, and waited for the sun.
I'm still waiting, but the rain stopped and the skies lightened up enough to get out and find something new to shoot. I took some shots of the thick clouds hovering over the Superstition Mountains, but the light was poor and the mountains looked dark and colorless. Then I spotted this lovely church with a spire, and decided to spend some time there.
Tomorrow is my weekly visit to the dog/cat shelter, and I'll see whether this camera can keep up with their bouncy movements.

| | D40 - cost was a bit of a factor, as always, but also knew that 6mp was enough for me and my computer at this stage, and the differences weren't worth the cost difference to me. |
