So with Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving weekend, and one hell of a busy week at work, I haven’t had the chance to write about this until now.
One night last week, I was at my best friend and her husband’s house, and they were telling me how they were interested in getting into professional photography and had picked up a beautiful Nikon D3000 from Samy’s– and how the store had some killer deals I may be interested in. I’ve actually been due for an upgrade for years now, but just never really had the funds set aside for it until now. As I played with the 3000, I fell more and more in love. Plus, I’ve been really excited to now have someone to shoot with and someone to work on landscape photography (something that I sometimes have played with, but obviously I’m more of a concert photography specialist) with.
Last weekend, after the holiday, I brought over my old photography book from college for Alicia to read up on. She already knew basics from taking a class when she was in high school, but I knew the book would have a lot more information that would be good for her. I managed to work out a KILLER deal with the shop on a new Nikon D5000, standard lens, telephoto lens, wide angle lens, UV filters for each, and ND filter, infrared filter, and a polarizing filter for the wide angle.
As we were running low on time, we decided to go up to a spot in the hills to play around the the sunset and some of the other situations there. I captured the following lovely image once the sun already set:
