I’m thinking about naming my camera Fred.  Last Wednesday I just sort of looked at it and thought “Fred”.  I don’t know why.  I wasn’t even thinking about naming it.  And then I thought it would be too weird to name the camera, but I thought about it more and people name all sorts of inanimate objects.  Like cars.  Naming a camera isn’t that odd.  

Then I thought that maybe I should name it Corinne, in honor of Corinne Day.  But it just isn’t a Corinne.  

So I guess the real question… is Fred a girl or a boy?  Is it too ironic to have a camera and name her Fred?  

Maybe it could be short for Winifred?

Well, it could have been worse.  

I only screwed up some of the settings and cut off my feet.  

This is the very first shot taken with my DSLR yesterday in RAW, which has amazing quality but if I shoot in that all the time my hard drive will be overloaded in about a week.  Overall I think it went well, aside from the fact that I cut my feet off, my aperture settings were totally wrong, and an epic focusing fail (really bad bloopers up later).  

I have two more looks queued up from when I was still using my point-and-shoot (I really, really appreciate how good that tiny camera is now after getting the DSLR) and then it’s going to be time for adventures with the new camera!
