Default Best. present. ever
Happy Birthday to me, happy birthday to me....look what hubby bought me for my birthday!! Eeeeeeee!



A Fujifilm X-S1. It has 3 stabilised lenses in it, and so many features I don't even know what to do with them yet I had a Panasonic Lumix T20 point and shoot but I was never happy with indoor shots with it, so hubby let me get this for my 40th. He says it's my birthday, Christmas and anniversary presents for the next 5 years. LOL!

Although today is officially my birthday, I've had the camera since Boxing Day, so have had a chance to play around with it a little, and I am SOOOOOO happy with the results. Indoor shots are a dream now - I can't believe the amount of light it captures - and of course outdoor shots look fantastic. I hardly have to edit my photos for scrapping at all compared to the Lumix. I still have a LOT to learn - it's a big step up from a point and shoot. Now I have to go study up on apeture (?), shutter speed, and ISO etc.

Hubby has earned some serious brownie points for this

Happy Birthday Helen! I hope you have a great day. Hubby is still asleep, and the kids are with my parents till lunchtime, so I think today will be pretty quiet. We're off camping tomorrow, so lots of things to pack and get ready.

Great gift! Happy Birthday Ladies! I just read some where that people born on January 1st are considered the luckiest people. Hope it holds true for you both.

Well I do think I'm pretty lucky New Zealand is ahead of the US by timezone, so it's January 2nd here already. The 2nd is my birthday.
