This blog is about to get improved with new photo quality!
Until now, all photos were taken on this 10 year old Kodak EasyShare...
which, if I say so, has been fairly good at producing some nice shots. However, closeups were hit and miss. Action shots or distance shots were almost impossible. As well, the thing eats batteries, so I'd often miss great shots because I'd find myself looking at a dead battery light.
I've been browsing the sales for a while now and talking myself out of spending the money even when I did find a sale. But today, I found a "deal to end all deals"! It was meant to be and it's now mine!
It was kind of overwhelming looking at all the components and manuals in the box when we brought it home. Now I had to learn how to operate it!
I might have left it in the box for a couple days, if it weren't for techno-hubby going through all the attachments and settings. So, before he laid claim to it, I grabbed it and headed out into the field to try some quick close-ups of fall's fading flora.
I think there is a lot of potential with this camera. I have a lot to learn, but I think I have a good tool in my hands.
Tomorrow is October already! Time to put away the garden tools and find those long johns...

You'll have fun with that camera!! And it's red too!
I find that with mine, I've figured out a few things and left it at that, I must push myself to experiment more with it.
Looks like you've got your self a great camera. Learning how to use it will I'm sure be both enjoyable and frustrating...
Your photos are great...looks like you are well on your way. Have fun with your new tool!
Cheers
Norma, I know you will enjoy your new camera. I have had a Nikon for years and love it. Mine can probably do more than I will ever know, but I have always taken a ton of pictures. Enjoy!
I'm very envious - love your camera!!
What a beautiful camera! I love taking pictures with my Canon with all of it's intimidating lenses and settings. If it's a bad blogging day, or week, you can post pictures of your lovely landscape and animals and still keep us all amused! LOL
The plant photos you took are just lovely.
Congrats! I'm so excited about the new camera!
