    The camera was our Christmas present to each other this year. Unfortunately, my lack of training makes me feel kind of like a monkey trying to use an iPhone.

    Haha….good description. Thanks for the photos and enjoy learning more about your camera. I’m sure you’ll enjoy making pics to frame/or tack-up for your apt as well—-bringing His work indoors to see.
