If you have been following my Twitter or Plurk updates, you may know that I have a DSLR to play with until next Friday!

The bf bought his first camera, a Nikon D40 cos of his temporary massive interest in photography. Luckily, or unluckily for me, depending on how you see it, he went off to Brunei right after he bought it, which leaves me to shoulder the responsibility of playing with his cam for him.

Somehow writing the previous paragraph made me feel like a woman whose husband left her with their newborn baby and went to war. Nevermind.

It’s awfully hard for me to take photos, because a DSLR is bloody heavy for me, and I have absolutely. no. fucking. clue what is aperture, shutter speed, exposure… yada yada. I only know these terms cos the bf keeps talking about them, ha..

So imagine the difficulty i went through just to take these 3 shots of my (ever moving – trying to give myself some credit here) furballs.

Honestly, i think i brought DSLR photography to new lows, but i tried! I think they look like run-of-the-mill compact camera photos that were random shots, but i spent a good 30 minutes and 107 blurry, out-of-focus, ugly, too dark, too bright and/or generally bad photos just to produce 3 puny semi-tolerable photos.

I really love the photo of maomao though. I couldn’t take clear photos of him with my compact in the past because he was always fidgeting, and even when he was still the photos were not clear and detailed for some reason.

I’m glad I have a good photo of him to hold onto forever. He’s almost 12 years old which is like 84 in doggie years. I’m really happy i managed to capture these moments of him nicely.
