I've finally done it -- I've created my Blog! I decided it was time I joined the world of 'Bloggers' that I have envied for a few years now. My experience has been interesting to say the least. Not wanting to put the cart before the horse, so to speak, I decided to read "Blogging for Dummies" which I borrowed from my local library. Mistake #1! As I closed the book I was sweating and gasping for air - this is no task for Dummies. I'm an old woman for crying out loud - all I want is a Blog! So off I went to Blogger.com to get my feet wet. Piece of cake. What was I sweating and gasping about - it was so easy - even for me.
I'm sure I will find ways to fine tune my Blog in the days to come, and I'm positive I will be seeking the help of some of my 'smarter' blogging friends; but for now I must simply get more practise using my digital camera so I can get some pictures ready to go with my posts. Perhaps I see a Photography Class in my near future! When I went to school, Photography wasn't a class option - I'm a point and click kind of gal. So if you have a recommendation for a favorite, no brainer, point and click digital camera, please feel free to leave suggestions in my comments.
No great advice on a camera, but the way I take my photos is:
ReplyDelete*natural light (outside as often as possible... better on a cloudy day though!)
*Macro setting (the tulip picture on most cameras)
*no flash
Can't wait to see what you share!
Congrats on starting a blog. I belong to Learningfa. I done a few of the classes. It is a great site.

Val - I bought a Nikon coolpix S8 which will take pictures up to 7.1
ReplyDeletemegapixels- All my class pictures are taken with it. I don't need my scanner as the photos are great. I would highly recommend it. I had a coolpix before which is great for sending pictures on line but I wanted something a bit better so that if needed I could take larger pixel pictures. I don't think you need to worry about taking a course with it. I use it all the time -- it is adjusting itself and has the ability to take landscape pictures (one right after another which can be used as a wide landscape. I bought it at Blacks in Calgary (Market Mall)
I can't remember the price but you don't need anything more than it unless you are going to specialize in photography.
I hope this helps, Shirley ps. sorry I missed you the other day.
