Photo Envy

I have decided to buy a new camera.....not very exciting I know, but for years I have taken photos of the children and they have come out blurry or not at all. I look at the photos that other people take and post on their blogs and some of them are so lovely....(I think I have photo envy ha ha.), I wish I could capture some of the wonderful moments that I share with the children in a more natural way and for them to actually come out (for a change!!). I often visit a blog called untanglingknots, which is written by a really lovely lady called Karla (I hope she will not mind me mentioning her!), and she posts some really beautiful photos of her family, amongst other things. So, on her recommendation I am going on a mission this weekend, my mission, is to find a Canon Powershot G9 Digital Camera, and maybe some added little extras (depending on how much I can sweet talk the sales guy.....and how much hard earned cash I decide to part with!!).



Then I will have to come home with my new little friend (I mean the camera....not the sales guy!), and try and break the habit of a lifetime, that being my lack of ability to read instruction manuals!!! I have been the same all my life (and at 37 I have decided that I am well past the point of changing now), I never read the manual or instructions and try to just fly by the seat of my pants and hope I get it right!!! BUT this time I am going to read them, as I am never going to learn the art of decent photo taking otherwise (which I am sure is more technical than reading the instruction book, but I need to start somewhere).



Watch out David Bailey, here I come!!!!
