First Attempts, Courtesy of Dave

My Christmas present was a brand spanking new camera. I have upgraded from a simple point-and-shoot to a big ole DSLR. I have NO idea how to use it, what the settings mean, what the buttons do, how to take pictures, or even if it is a camera. It's too fancy. I better sign up for a photography class stat! But nevertheless I had to try it out. And of course my model was none other than Riley, the best (dog) model in the world. Dave sent some of the pictures to my Mom and she inquired as to whether the camera just takes good pictures or if I actually have a modicum of talent. I told Dave it is all thanks to the camera, or at least I think it is, since all I do is point the thing at Riley and press the big button. Now seriously, I have to sign up for a class....
