Water play (1st shots with my 5D3)...

The day after I got my new baby (Canon 5D Mark III) we headed to our local water park/pool.  The girls had a great time & I loved shooting with my new baby!

I will say I LOVE my new camera. It's even better than I thought it would be.  The ISO upgrade (from my Classic 5D) is HUGE!  I can now get natural low light shots I couldn't get with my Classic.  The new AF system is AMAZING.  Having 61 AF points instead of 9 has dramatically enhanced my composition.  I'm still practicing toggling my single AF but it's much faster and easier than I thought it would be. I was concerned that it would take too much time with so many more AF points but it's not!  With a bit more practice, I won't miss any shots toggling!  Yay!  The shutter is much quieter and the IQ is to die for and the bokeh is smoother.  I can zoom in on full body shots and count eyelashes...no joke!  Worth every penny it cost!  I can't wait to grow with it and improve!

And this summer was a BIG one for our Nugget.  She's always loved the water but wouldn't take off her life jacket to learn how to swim, nor would she jump in or put her face under water.  I didn't push it.  I knew when she was ready, she'd go for it.  Well this summer she did!!!!  You cannot wear a life jacket here so she was finally pushed to go for it.  As you'll see it started with jumping to her sister, then jumping in on her own and by the end of the day swimming with her head under water.  It was a proud day to be her Mama!

All were shot with my new Canon 5D Mark III, either my 35L or my 135L and all were edited with Michelle Kane's actions including her new Half Light set that I LOVE...


I love our mountains & the Big's heading up to the slides...

OH...and another BIG event...she went down the SLIDE!!!!  We told the lifeguard before hand so he could pull her up if she panicked and forgot to push up off the mat.  She loved it and was so proud of herself but it freaked her enough that one time was enough...lol!  What a day for my Nugget...
