Gone are the days of woeful camera performance. After happening upon a large momma black bear and two adorable cubs playing in a tree and being incredibly disappointed with the results of my pictures . . . out with the old and in with the Nikon 1 J2!! :) How many ways can you say "Joy is reeeeeeaaaallly excited!"? Needless to say everyone is waiting for me on the trails as I experiment and figure out all of the settings on my new camera. The J2 is my first ever camera with a detachable lens, meaning more options, more fun and more money on buying new lenses! It's also a compact system camera, meaning without the lens it's nearly the same size as your average compact camera. This means I can take it into the backcountry with me and not have a separate backpack just for the camera! So psyched! Here are some of my first pictures and experiments . . . more to come!
