New Tiny Camera
Image by sirwiseowl
Yesterday Sylvia and I called into our local "The Warehouse" to pick up some bits and pieces for Sylvia's jewelry making hobby.
I somehow 'drifted' into the area that sells cameras. mobile phones ........ While admiring the camera range (very limited being a chain store) I spotted a ever so tiny 'Kodak Easy Share' digital camera that was no bigger than today's mobile phone.
Now, I thought, this would be ideal for carrying around in my pocket all day long for those 'Wish I had my camera with me' captures.
Why not get a camera moble phone you say? Personally I consider mobile phone built in cameras a waste of time because of the inferior quality.
Now this little beauty also has 10.3 mega pixels. Within a matter of minutes I convinced myself that I 'needed' this camera because my camera only has 6.3 mega pixel and printing out enlargements over 5x7 one looses quality rapidly.
Talk about impulse buying.... Two good reasons why I had to have this little beauty... better quality enlargements plus being able to carry it with me always.
No. not with me to bed! Sylvia would certainly not approve!
Now the price 9. Well, what are credit cards for?
Okay, I now own a new camera and have taken half a dozen photos. I'm amazed at the quality of the images. Here are a few shots taken in our flower garden. Why pay 00 for a camera with every gadget on it and get the same results with a 0 one.
I have always been of the opinion that a good photo is created with ideas and then planning the composition, lighting and taking time 'to get it right,' even if when taking a landscape returning to the scene several times to record the conditions that gives most satisfaction and the feeling that this is the best the scene can provide.
I have seen photos taken with old box cameras and entered into photography competitions and win top awards.
So to me, the 'perfect' photo is created by the person behind the camera who has the ideas, planning, creativity and enthusiasm.
I know of photographers who have the most expensive camera and every possible bit of equipment but never seem to come up with pleasing photos. They are always looking for and talking about the next' gadget that comes out.
I don't use a tripod, and have no extra lens and even my tabletop light box is just an old chilly/ice bin. I most times just use the light coming through the window for tabletop work.
So, all you need is a camera, enthusiasm and an over active creative mind.
Oh! I've written so much here, normally I don't bother with words, I like to take photos!
Day Three

This was Friday Night - that means pizza, popcorn and a movie.
The main page has a pocket made from an envelope. Inside is a card with ribbon tab and journaling about the movie we watched, and how we have Pizza night at least once a week. I also printed 2 5X7 photos (of the pizza, snuggled on the couch and our daughter watching TV) and adhered them back to back to slip inside the pocket.
