We met up with my parents and my little sister and her boyfriend on Friday night for dinner. I had bought my mom a picture frame for a family photo of us at Christmas, The frame had some really pretty decorative carvings...or whatever you call it, but the color of the frame was just ugly. I found the frame at the dollar store for $3, and then I bought some cherry red spray paint from Wal-mart...and voila. It became a really pretty picture frame...unfortunately I didn't take any pictures...BUT, I will definitely bbe doing more of those...In fact I may be spray painting some of the frames I already have. I will be sure to take pictures of all my crafts for now on becaaaauuuse....
I FINALLY got my camera! YAY. I went with the Nikon L120. It is kind of a hybrid between the SLR's and the point and shoots. Technically it is a point and shoot, with an amazing zoom (21x). I am so impressed so far...#1, I can take pictures at night - with my old camera, it was possible, but they always looked really strange, and there had to be at least some light present. This camera can take a picture in complete darkness and still get a great image. #2, the speed of this camera is wonderful. With my phone, and my old camera my biggest complaint was that I had to wait before taking a photo, and then once I did, I had to wait another minute or so before I could take the next one! So frustrating when you have kids and you are trying to take a serious of shots quickly. #3, Image quality and stabilization...the quality of my photos is much better, with my old camera I was able to capture some good shots, but this camera is just awesome, I seriously cant believe how much I love it. The other thing was that if my kids were running and I took a photo they would always be blurry, even in sports mode. Plus, I have very shaky hands...seriously very shaky, so sometimes even if what I was trying to take a picture of was very still, it was still blurry. This camera has an image stabilization that really helps and so far I haven't had any really blurry shots. I am still learning all the different modes and testing things out, but here are a few of my favorites so far...

These shots are great! I LOVE getting new cameras. I wish we could afford to get a new one. I think we've dropped this one a few too many times. It is slow between takes, but I know that is partially due to the fact that I have the detail set to high. If I lowered it, it would probably go faster. Meh. Congrats on the new camera! AND getting the images onto a computer. =)
