Just when I was getting back into blogging,

my little unborn grandson passed away

and I had to take a break.

 

The poor baby had problems which would have made

life outside his mother's womb very difficult

 

but it still broke our hearts

We hope he's in a good place now.

 

Kayden, you'll always be in our hearts

and we will always wonder what could have been.

Introducing a new blogger to visit!

Recently I reconnected with an old friend from elementary school, Lisa.

This is she and I at a Girl Guide Winter Camp.

 

 

 

We lost touch when I moved across the country when I was 12

but over the last few months I realized that she is a lot like me in many ways

and suggested that maybe she would like blogging.

 

She has started a new blog here:

http://synapses46.blogspot.ca/

and I urge you all to check her out and show some blog support.

I've met some great people blogging and I'm sure she will too.

 

I told her if she builds it you will come,

so here's to Lisa and her new blog. 

Somewhat better

 

I took Rick's words to heart and printed out those 228 pages into a booklet form

and studied up about focusing.

 

I think I have the beginnings of knowledge of how to do it when the camera doesn't want to

(and no, camera, you can't "just say no")

 

So now what I need to do is practice, practice, practice until I can do it in my sleep and in my waking state without needing to look it up.

 

As I look at it now though I see that I was in a little too close and cut too much off the background.  I think that's what my friend Lisa's suggestion about wide angle meant as I read up on that,

seems it does not mean what I thought it meant.  I thought it just meant a wider picture, with more in the sides, but I think it has to do more with depth of the picture?  Correct me if I'm wrong please.

 

 I couldn't find it in the manual....I think the

index leaves a lot to be desired because I know I zacksidnetally saw it show up as an option as

I looked through the lens one time....it has to be there somewhere.

 

That will be my next learning goal.

 

Thanks for the pointers and keep them coming.
