Some Exciting Updates For Gringalicious + Some "Sappy" News for 2018
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.

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Oh, and getting a new camera also means I'll need to design a new signature photo because this one is getting pretty outdated isn't it?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

You look so sappy and happy with your new camera! I'm falling in love with mine too. Never have I been more into photography since being on steemit. It's small, fits in my pocket, and I can bust it out quickly and capture whatever moment is right as I float around the world! Thanks for sharing Gringalicious so delicious! Hope your holiday are going well! -Dan
You have a gift for connecting with people through your commenting. It's a gift that I don't possess. It is something I hope to do better in 2018.
Small cameras are really good and have their place for sure. A great comment that @timsaid mentioned a a workshop he did at steemfest, the best camera always is the one you have. I agree with that.
I hope your holiday is going splendid as well. We actually have a flu-virus going through the family right now, so that's no fun, but we'll recover soon. I am sure we'll be talking before Monday, until then,...
STEEM ON!!
Oh gosh, take good care of yourselves. I forgot in America we have a season called "Flu". I just got used to rainy and dry season in Thailand, no I'm on the Equator with no seasons at all!
Thank you for commending me on my ability to connect with others. I really feel privileged to have connected with you here. Enjoy your new Camera! -Dan
