One more day closer to a long weekend! Yay, I can not wait. We have been so busy lately. It has been hard to catch my breath. On Monday, I picked up my new Canon 60D!!! I am so beyond excited. No more Rebel XS. Is it normal to be sad when you sell your camera? I was a little sad saying goodbye to it. It was my first DSLR camera, I took pictures of my little baby with it, cherished it, and it was the camera that my love of photography was born. But, all things must come to an end and I am enjoying my new camera!! I haven't had much time to devote to it this week but I did manage to capture the below during lunch.
I am VERY happy to be able to spot meter....
And really happy for a higher ISO (even though it wasn't needed for this capture)!
I adore this capture by Stephanie from Behind the Camera and Dreaming so I had to join in the fun at My Reflection of Something and do some editing!
Here is Stephanie's original capture...so so sweet:
Here is my edit. I really wanted a warm sunny feeling. I did a slight crop, warmed up and added some sunflare, and rounded the edges.

Sigh, I just love that first shot. Heck, they're all great. Congrats on your new camera! I imagine some day when I upgrade I will not want to sell my Rebel. It is also my first dslr so I understand!!!

Great job on the edit Tara- I like that the details of the dress are more pronounced- I couldn't get mine to go there for whatever reason.
Loving all that GORGEOUS bokeh in those other shots.
Love the edits to the sweet little one. And really love the 1st pic of mums or marigolds, can't tell, but it is really beautiful!!
Lucky you, a new camera!! I love these shots, especially that first one...gorgeous!
Congrats on your new camera--your photos are simple to die for! (And great edit, too--I love the warm sunny tones that you added!)

I still shoot with the old XS, but I am sooooo excited for you!
I saw this wonderful edit on My Reflection's blog. Lovely job. The rounded corners are perfect.
Congrats on your 60d! I bought the 50d last year, upgrading from the XTi and I absolutely love it!
The first photo on your post is exquisite.
I'm your newest follower, btw. :)
I remember reading that you were using a rebel a few months ago and I was so impressed with what you were able to do with an entry level dslr. I can't wait to see what you do with all that talent and your new camera! My favorite this time is the gorgeous pink flowers photo. So beautiful!
That first image is amazing. In every way. Love the color, the editing and the fact that the flowers are on one side/corner. Gorgeous!
These are gorgeous Tara, yay, an upgrade, exciting! Enjoy your long weekend!
Love your entry above, such a wonderful moment captured!
It so exiting to play around with the new camera and see what can you do with it and does it gives you better results that the old one. I love your flowers shots, I always do and I'm so sad we can't have these for little while as summer is going to be over:)
Have a nice weekend
Love the editing on the last shot. Gorgeous.
Your bokeh on that first shot is just simply pure gorgeousness - it looks like soft confetti - perfectly matched to that wonderful flower!
Oh congratulations on the new camera - I'm sure that swivel lcd screen is handy too. I have had hardly any time to take many shots with my camera recently.
