Look what the mailman brought

So, my new best photography friend Jeff Revell ran a little contest on his PhotoWalk Pro blog last week, giving away a copy of his own book, Nikon D5000: From Snapshots to Great Shots, along with volumes 1 and 3 of Scott Kelby's The Digital Photography Book. I was very happy to be chosen as one of the two winners (don't get too excited, Mom, it was just a random drawing, not one of those where they actually judge your photography).

Today, the package arrived...


Thanks so much, Jeff, I'm really looking forward to working through these. The timing couldn't be better, because my 14-year-old son has just started taking a photography class, and I know he can learn a ton from these (if I can convince him to read them!). The photo above, of course, is not nearly worthy of the two gentlemen who authored these books (high ISO hand-held in dim light), but I wanted to get this post up quickly.

More posts coming as time allows, including a look back at our big "mountain states" adventure.
