Ooo, I got a DSLR for Christmas. Or bought it for myself in late December, if truth be known.
I've been doing some food shots for my blog, and here's the first I took with the new gear - very pleased with it!

Interesting picture and recipe on the blog. Not for me. If really, really pressed, I would eat a mince pie but wouldn't choose it for myself. I'l suggest it to DIL's mum who apparently makes a rum icecream with mince which will put you over the limit with a fairly ordinary sized serve.
I've been enjoying the learning curve with the D3100 once I passed the frustrated stage of trying things and have them work or no and not being able to pinpoint reason either way. When I felt comfortable with the 18-55 mm lens which friend gave me when I bought the body, I bought a larger one, 18-270mm and have enjoyed playing with that.
What did you buy or rather what were you given?

A friend works for Canon, and they had a great deal on the 600D, so that tipped me over in terms of actually getting it.

Sounds like a great gift!
Are you up to Project 365 ? I found it a good way to learn. [ 30. December 2011, 23:53: Message edited by: Lothlorien ]

In the absence of an obvious new thread, here is my completed 365. There is one photo missing (I had 2nd thoughts about one, but hadn't taken any other that day), and there were 3 days where I forgot and took 2 photos the next day to make up. I'm rather chuffed with myself

Another 365 deserves a new thread.
