Captured Moments

One class I wish I had taken in school is photography. Sometimes I get so discouraged with the way my pictures turn out. I wish I had that gift to make any moment look beautiful. Some people just now exactly what angle to grab. Maybe it has to do with lenses too.

But my photos have improved quite a bit, I must say. I credit my Sony Mavica digital camera for that. Especially because it has programming effects where I can change the style of picture I want to take. I can tell the camera to make the images black and white before I take them. Or I can capture sepia toned photos. I can also add a little fun to it and make them negative art forms or solarize.

Sure, there is software out there that can change the outcome of your photos. But I sure do like the option of just snapping the picture the way I want it on the camera and printing it off, without having to manipulate it first.

I am so glad to have the options of digital photography. How would I do my digital scrapbooking without it? We all know my addiction to digi scraps! And with my memory stick, I can take hundreds of pictures at a time without having to change disks or film.

Plus I don't have to print off an entire roll of film. If there is an image I don't want, I can delete it.

I bow to the people that invented the digital camera! I am always snapping pictures of the girls. The photos end up being a daily journal of their lives since I use it so much. And I don't have to grab a seperate camera to do video now either. I can capture it all one one!

One day I hope to have a Canon 40D SLR camera to take my digital photography to new heights! It's good to have dreams, right? It's even better to capture them!
