Oh yes I am, lovin' my new camera lens, that is!
My altogether spiffy, maddeningly complex,
worth every penny ( lots and lots of pennies! )
worth every penny ( lots and lots of pennies! )
Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.4G lens.
Say that fast three times!Just took a little tour around the farmhouse a couple of days ago,
and snapped a few quick ones...
Crisp, clear, bright and beautiful!
Wanna know what else I'm loving?
See my lovely collection of enamelware pitchers?
Love 'em, can't get enough of 'em.
Which is why I was beyond THRILLED to win the pitcher on the far right
in the amazing giveaway over at Buckets of Burlap.
Thank you SO much Becky, I'm crazy about it!!!
I'll be back next week with more pics of the cottage,
and an upcoming giveaway, too!

ReplyDeleteMaybe that's what
I needed...that lens.
I took a D5000 for a
spin but didn't feel
I did it justice.
Back to square one.
Hope you are having
a wonderful weekend, Anne!

Your pictures are just beautiful! I'm so glad that you got your wish!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture. I have the one you won as well and I love it! It's filled with greenery and berries right now!
XO,

I love your new photos. Looks like a great lens! Oh enamel ware pitchers are so cool. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt does a great job! Fabulous images! Time to upgrade to a decent camera again. Had an SLR that was fantastic for years but went back to a point and shoot digital and have never been happy. Just need the $$$$'s now. Its on my list!
ReplyDeleteMust have a look at 'yours'.
Wow! The pics are stunning! I found this professional photographer dude's site online that has lots of great info about Nikon DSLRs...That's what he uses. He works in the film industry with lighting and photography, so I've gleened alot of info just for my own wee canon :)
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to visit over here....always loveliness.
love your new lens!
ReplyDeleteI have a NIKON...still don't know a ton about it...mine is a NIKON D5000...
Did you just sit down with your manual or did you take a class?
Super photos!
ReplyDeleteLove my enamelware collection too...it's timeless!
Bought my copy of Romantic Homes today...couldn't wait to show my sister...my friend Anne's feature!
:)
WOW..those pics are so clear, so real...like 3D. I'm so glad you splurged! Beautiful enamel pitchers too. Congrats on the win!
ReplyDeleteAren't new toys wonderful!!! :-)

Congrats on winning the giveaway - you deserve it!! Love the pictures with the new lens :)
ReplyDeletelove the enamelware! the pics are gorgeous. I can't wait to see more pics next week.
ReplyDeletegail
It would be so wasted on me, but one of these days I will get into it. Maybe after a class or two. It is something I used to do in high school, even had my own dark room down the basement. Of course my dad set it up and I used his. Anyway congratulations on the pitcher and it all looks wonderful
ReplyDeleteBlessings

Yowzers! Can't wait to see what all you create with that new lens! Lezlee
ReplyDeleteAhhh your new lens is already busy at work, those shots are incredible Anne! I love the old enamelware too, but much prefer the pitchers to those nasty old "pee" pots. Oops, did I just type that?!! Yep I'm old enough to remember them first hand. xoxo ~Lili
ReplyDeleteLooking good! Nice that you won~you really needed to have 3 on top of the cabinet! Can't wait to see more pics of the house!
ReplyDeleteJody

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - beautiful shots! I splurged on that lens last spring and haven't taken it off my camera since! I am addicted to it! Haha!
ReplyDeleteThe photos you share us are beautiful, have fun taking more.
ReplyDeleteI really, really, really want a new camera, but I don't know what to get and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to operate it! The lens makes all the difference in the world! Glad you got it! Can't wait to see you in Jan. at the Red Barn. Are you coming before opening day?
