The Camera

I spent several hours last night and a good deal of time this morning reading and learning my new camera.


It is complicated for sure. But I love it! I'm so glad I decided to get it.


Already, the picture quality is much superior to pictures taken with my Kodak point & shoot. Once I figure out how to use all of the features, I'm sure the pictures will be even better.


My first mission was to figure out how to do the blurred background. You know, where only the subject/thing you are shooting is in focus and everything else is out of focus. I read the manual and tried what it said. Didn't work. Went online and read at least fifteen different sites. All said the same thing. Still wasn't working.


Finally, I figured it out! Too bad it is rainy today so I can't go around taking pictures.


I'm so excited to learn how to use this camera! Next weekend: pictures of the Chunkling :-)

My tomatoes, of course.

My new camera! Not sure what's wrong with the color here.

Next up: perfecting editing pictures

Here's the shot where the bloom is in focus and

everything else is out of focus. I'll be working

to perfect this technique as well.
