Seeking The Kingdom In All Things

Last week when a friend of mine turned on my camera he looked at me and asked if I had purposely set it to psychedelic mode. He handed me the camera and when I looked at the screen it was easy to see what he meant. Waves of a digital lines of all colors were splashed across the screen, creating a rainbow effect reminiscent of the Beatles movie, span style=”font-style:italic;”Yellow Submarine/span. “Maybe it’s just the screen”, I thought to myself, hoping that the pictures themselves might be fine. Unfortunately this was not the case and I realized it was time to say goodbye to my first digital camera. She has had quite a run of pictures, but it seems that one too many backpacking trips has taken its toll. Today I went in search of a new camera, one that would be simple enough for my non-photographer’s brain and that would fit within my budget. The Nikon that I came home with is lighter and has much better resolution than I am used to. It seems to be a fine camera. But I will miss the old one, at least until I can figure this one out.

    Wehave had four computers in the last five years…I still miss the “old grey Dell”…now I’m trying to learn new stuff…I don’t always like it!

    The more recent cameras, however, seem to have gotten easier to figure out.

    Good luck with your new one!

    Mine did the same thing after 3 years. I’ve had 3 Canon digitals (one got stolen) and love them. Like my computers I don’t use 98% of the bells and whistles, but it works for what I need.

    For a person with a non-photographer’s brain, you take some mighty fine pictures.

    Elizabeth,

    So far I think you are correct. This camera is turning out to be easier to understand what it can do…..I may end up with better photos after all!
