Yesterday he arrived in the mail. Eric and I had been obsessively awaiting the arrival of Charlemagne. No, not the King of the Franks, Charlemagne is our handsome new camera. We have been struggling to make due with a point and shoot camera for the past year. My parents gifted us with a beautiful new camera for Christmas (thanks Mom and Dad).
Photo of Bumblebee taken with the old cameraSome of you may not be aware of the difference a good camera can make, so let me give you a little taste. Our
old camera took the photo above. You can see it is a photo of Bumblebee in low light. Kind of fuzzy, definitely a poor quality photo!

So, Eric and I did what comes naturally to us, we went overboard. We took photos all night. We ended up with 104 photos this morning.
Mia Look at this photo of Mia! Also, please note how tiny her chin is. Eric and I find it very charming.
We didn't only take photos of our animals. We are also working on new art with our camera, but we spent most of our time just getting to know Charlemagne and test his limits.
Lest you think I am abandoning my old camera, Trixie, please know that she will be with me. I carry around a camera at all times. So, my tiny point and shoot will be the on-the-go camera.

FANTASTIC! I can't wait to see what you guys do with it.
Mia's chin is soooo cute!! It's nice to get a good look at Ophelia. I never did get long look. :)
Ohhhh you lucky kids you!!! I am a direct decendant of Charlemagne you know, so maybe I should have him instead? Ha!!!!
wow! what fun! someday i will join you in new camera land, :D
What a difference a camera upgrade can make! I'm excited to see what you guys are able to do with it. I see many cool photos in the future. And I love that you name things. We do that too. We had a car named Honey for awhile and we have a blanket on our bed named Hector (which has become a joke among our friends). Long story about the name....
Congratulations on Charlamagne. Canon's are wonderful cameras. The animals are extremely cute. Enjoy your new arrival.
Congrats on the new camera - how fun! (and your animals are so beautiful)
