 Manual focus is way fun.

My girlfriend excitedly taking photos with the camera I got for her, and me reveling in my E Series 50mm 1.8.
I don't have her photo at the ready.

Untouched except for cropping. Aperture was a guess, since I hadn't programmed it into my camera yet and it is an old lens with aperture ring and doesn't register otherwise.

(added per Melethia's suggestion... which was good.

Here's what she saw
I had forgotten my other glove at home but it was a little chilly so one was better than none.

Cool shot! I think it would look great as a diptych including her pic of you taking her pic

That's pretty cool. Is that white stuff in the background remnants of snow? Looks chilly.

Do you still have your Olympus Stylus 770? Inquiring minds want to know! Snapshots are fun & this one clearly shows off your girlfriend's energy & enthusiasm w/her new camera.

Where are you that she is wearing gloves and a scarf in July?
ps: It is almost too good to call it a snapshot. :)

Yes! This is exactly what a snapshot shoud be - now add the story you had in the thread to the comments here, because it's a nifty bit of info. And yeah, you should find her shot and post it, too!
