Deliciously summery Flickr Favorites. Makes me long for a trashy novel, a beach chair and the smell of coconut oil.
I am going to buy a new camera. My boss gave me a $500 Best Buy gift card and I am going to buy myself a Canon Powershot S3 IS. I think it will be the step up I need and I won’t outgrow it too soon. Hopefully I’ll get it this weekend and I can subject you all to a ton of practice shots.
I’m bemused by the comments I get sometimes, complimenting me on the photos on this blog. Seriously – I take about a bobillion pictures, maybe two are decent and I doctor them up in the most primitive photo editor (where I basically can crop, resize and point to a section of the picture that is supposed to be white to get the colors adjusted a bit. That’s IT).
My current camera I bought on a business trip to Toronto because I wanted to take pictures of the snow. I went to Canada’s version of Best Buy and bought an Olympus FE-100. It takes better pictures outdoors and actually, my macro shots taken in outdoor light are perfectly decent. I rarely have to monkey around with them. But it doesn’t like low-light indoor conditions (which I have in abundance) and that’s what and where I want to photograph the most.
So hang tight – I’m going to be fumbling about for a bit and I’m taking you along on the ride.
So back to the pictures up there. Gorgeous, no? I didn’t take a single one. I think my favorite is the last one in the second row. I love those tea cups.
Speaking of tea cups – I need to go to the antique store and find a lovely one. My niece is throwing a birthday tea party for herself and instead of gifts she wants everyone to bring a tea cup – they’ll all be assigned a number and then each guest will draw a number and take home that tea cup. I think this is just the sweetest idea for a birthday party.
Hopefully I’ll have my new camera so I can photograph the entire event.
