In case you're unfamiliar with the word "sappy", well it's an English slang that we use when something is both sad AND happy at the same time. That's because I'm so excited to tell you guys about something I received for Christmas.
So I'm sort of known for my red camera, and it's been my baby and bff since the first shot I took with it. However, now that I've really fallen in love with photography I think @noboxes wanted me to get to try using an updated version!
I hope my good old red doesn't feel too neglected
I'm sure I'll still be using it as my main utility camera because I'll want to be a lot more careful with the new one. So meet my new camera ->>>>>>
It's a Nikon d750 and I must say it has a lot of fancy buttons and settings. Haha, I thing I can feel pretty confident in food photography after years of practice, but TBH guys, I'm pretty amature at life photography. It's a different category altogether so I'm excited to spend 2018 improving my skills at it.
Which brings me to my other big news..........
In case you missed my post asking what you all wanted to see from me this next year 2018 Reader Poll! What Do You Want To See From Gringalicious Next Year?, Well the clear top votes were for more food posts and secondly more travel posts. So to start off my "TRAVELICIOUS" posts for this next year I'll be going to Southern California in a few weeks with my travel buddy and sister @fullofhope!!!!!!! We're SOOOO looking forward to it and I can't wait to share it with all of you.
Oh, and getting a new camera also means I'll need to design a new signature photo because this one is getting pretty outdated isn't it? ->
Alright, enjoy your day my friends and Steem on!
ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST.
And, by the way, to all the minnows out there, my intro post did a huge $0.21. The key to success on Steemit is to be consistent and persistent.

Congratulations ... a new camera is always something exciting for us photographers ... I wish you a lot of fun and enjoyment with your new camera.
But I think this red camera will always be part of you.
We also have three cameras in the number, with various lenses.
But I also believe, no matter how old the camera is, the main thing is that the chemistry, or as some say love, between camera and photographer must vote, because only then come convincing photos.
Once again great post my dear Gringa :)
Thanks @chrissysworld! I'm so glad you liked the post and your comment is so thoughtful and sweet!
How cool! I hope you have a lot of fun on your trip with your sister!
thanks so much @yummyrum. We haven't set the date yet, but it will be before January is over

Yes, and it's the best thing ever! I think my favorite is the 50mm. Thanks @gikitiki !
Good job and good post
Thanks @crazy3!
Pretty happy news. I am sure your old camera won't feel neglected for a while. Travel photos with your sister should be a lot of fun. Looking forward to all your wonderful posts in the new year!
Oh, thank you so much @cecicastor! Thanks!
I am jelly you have 2 cameras and I don't have one... Just kidding. By seeing all the awesome pictures you took, I am also becoming a fan of photography. And might buy one in near future. The red coating or skin looks cool. Good luck with your next journey to California... :))
Oh, well I hope you're encouraged to get one sometime @arslanhyder! Thanks for reading!
Everyone needs a new toy.
Haha, I couldn't agree more @beginningtoend!!!
