Testing...

...a new camera...finally. I had my heart set on a dslr, but since I can't afford one at the moment, I dropped a few bucks on a Nikon Coolpix 530, which is considered a bridge camera, bridging the gap between p&s and dslr. I'm sure for most of you, this camera would be a huge step down, but for me, it's a huge upgrade. Like moving from a shack into a nice 3 bedroom house...not the mansion I wanted, but enough comforts to keep me content for now ;-)

 

I like the fact that there is a macro attachment I could order for this camera. Also has manual settings, along with a descent zoom. And one of my favorites...the lens is not scratched lol! My old little camera had a big scratch at the center top of the lens, and a blur spot to the side where a raven pecked it (long story).

 

I bought this the night before last, spent yesterday shooting...closeups, foliage, the kids...getting to know my way around it. I'm hoping for a nice sunset tonight, but I don't know..the sky looks a little too clear ;-)

 

I'm off to catch up with everyone. I hope you had a great start to the new week :-)
