Mommy and I came home from the grocery store yesterday to find a little box on our front porch with a big surprise inside. Aunt Steph sent Mommy a new camera lens for her birthday! Mommy was super excited because the aperture setting on the lens that came with her camera won't allow the camera lens to open very wide. Since our house is really dark, even on the sunniest day, this meant that Mom could rarely take pictures inside our house without the flash on because she would have to set the shutter speed to be really slow in order get a picture that was bright enough. This does not work well with fast moving objects like myself unless you're going for a REALLY blurry look.
Here are a few pictures that Mom took yesterday. They haven't been edited in Photoshop and Mom was playing around with the white balance settings, but you can tell a huge difference in the lenses.
Thanks Aunt Steph!

Glad you like it. If these are straight out of your camera, your exposure is spot on. Nice job!
To divulge a little secret that isn't so secret, one trick that most people do to make them look crisper on the web is to use photoshop size them the exact size that blogger uploads them to your blog. (The main body of your blog is 485 pixels across, though the pics are probably a bit smaller.) Then run a Unsharp Mask (Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask) with settings 300-500, 0.2, 0. Then save and upload. You should notice a difference in the sharpness of the pic when displayed on your blog.
