Putting My Life Into Focus


I received a new camera for Christmas.  I have started taking pics and am trying to 
get used to all the features.  I never had any features with my old one.  It was very
antiquated and although I love vintage ~ new technology has it's place in my world
too.



Hopefully this camera will bring my life around the cottage into better focus.



I'll be able to take movies too ~ so plan on viewing the antics of Bentley
in the coming months.  He is quite a little ham.



I think I will need a tripod too.  Oh and it always helps ...



to read the instructions!  While I do that ... please visit ~


Bentley ~ are you camera ready?

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    Wonderful! I'm saving up for one too. My little point and shoot has seen better days, and I'd like a better camera now. Have fun :)
    Blessings,

    Hi Susan! Oh, congratulations on your new camera and you're taking some lovely snaps! :) I got a new Cannon Rebel last spring and I'm just in love with it.
    I see your gorgeous Blue Willow plates. I have a big set of Blue Willow and I'm showing a little bit of it on my blog today!
    Be a sweetie and I can't wait to see little fuzzy face running around! ;)

    Thought of you today. Hubby and I stopped in a miniatures store on the way home from the mountains. So many cute things, it reminded me of your posts on miniatures. Here is the website.

    I hope you are enjoying your camera. I just bought a Canon Rebel and although I never liked reading manuals or learning techy things, I have been studying this and really getting to know all the features. It's actually fun!

    XO,
    Jane
    PS...can't wait to see videos of Bentley!

    Love the Blue Willow! And of course, the pups! Reading the instruction book is always the most important, and the least done, part of using a new camera! When in doubt, read the instructions, or at least that's what they say!! LOL

    You know, you're right. Vintage stuff is great. How about the times of Kodak Instamatics? Don't I wish I'd held onto it! But, wouldn't want to take photos with that one! Enjoy your new camera and looking forward to seeing the ham in video! (Bentley) We had a golden who was a ham about her photos too. Our current rescue (found us) was deathly afraid of the camera until only recently. He doesn't ham around - he quits when the camera comes out. :( Thanks, Jenn

    I do believe you have mastered your new camera. I could use one as well. It used to do so many things, but since I dropped it, only makes pictures.
