15 photos taken with Miss New Canon without any reading of 241 page thrilling manual
Madam Olympus finally gave up the ghost a few days ago, she refused to upload to iphoto, those images (thankfully few) forever trapped on a now archaic & defunct 56MB memory card. Miss Canon's memory is 4GB. Madam Olympus would take near 100 photos before she was full up - new Miss New Canon will happily take 1400 ... uh huh 1400. But alas I was so sad when I knew the old (just past her 10th birthday) camera began to show signs of certain death. How could I ever love another like I like loved Madam O. Madam Olympus Camedia C5050 who gradually & dependably taught me to adore taking photos again, she who was built like a tank, with an extra long over the shoulder strap & went absolutely everywhere with us. With Emma & Jake in the long ago days of my 3 dog life.
I'm already falling a little in love with Miss New Canon & I've yet to crack her manual so have no idea of all the things that she's capable of but I'm pretty sure she's a little gem. Compact, quiet, loaded with capabilities much like an SLR in every way except the interchanging of lenses ( ya know, I kinda hate to admit it but I'm really not a change the lens kinda gal). I need a camera that's easy but a camera that does a lot + gives me many manual choices. Hooray + a big phew
The high lites of Christmas Day - the best breakfast I've ever had - made with love by Nana, sweet Bee & her crazy wild tree, my other family, making chowder, dipping marshmallows, laughing at the antics of plucky lil' Cyrus, snowy white cold & crunching footprints, twinkling lights & Mildred Pierce (parts 3 & 4 of 6) watched snug & cozy by the fire.
No.14 a peek at our living room reno & my newly framed (by the Prince of course) map of Paris from 17 - something, Cyrus, fire wood and the most handsome, window posing, cat we know.
Just heard on Q's top music of 2011 - elbow - build a rocket boy
which Canon did you get? I have the S95 which I adore. Its amazing the shots I get and no lens change....theres some ways it cannot do what a real SLR can do but I dont care. Your shots are great and I think its best to learn by doing first and then read the manual for the extras you didnt know about.
ReplyDeleteSanta brought me a new HD Canon videocamera which I am thrilled to have. Now all that analog footage i shot for tourism vids will be el lame-o.
Lovely day, lovely critters. enjoy Mildred Pierce - personally the Joan Crawford one was my favorite.
Greetings sweet Chick - my new Missy Canon is a Powershot G12 - I do love Kate Winslet & the sets & costumes are luscious xoxo S & gang

Just think of 10 being REALLY old in camera years (as opposed to doggie years)...happy shooting. We only have about 7 Canon's in this household, crazy!! Happy Boxing Day to all.
