We interupt this craft blog.....

......for a photo shoot. Although I guess photography is a craft, just not "my" photography. My photography lacks a little to be desired and cannot really be considered a 'craft'. :o)

My girls, their significant others and my significant other (aka, hubby) got me a Nikon Coolpix camera for my birthday. I took some pictures with it when I first got it but wanted to look over the manual to make sure I was getting all the settings right. The book is over a hundred pages so it might take me a while to get through it. If I was to sit and read all of it, I think I would fall asleep, it's that exciting! LOL

Anyway, here are some pictures I took to try out the different settings. A nickel on my couch using the macro setting.....

Pretty good considering I don't have very steady hands. Speaking of hands, let's try a close up of my hand. Look at those wrinkly old things. LOL

*****Dang, I clicked on the picture to see how it looked. Ewww, my fingers are hairy. LOLOL Isn't that a nice thing about growing older. Your eyes go bad so you can't really see the little things, like hair or wrinkles!!!!!

And since I will mostly be using my camera for quilting and family shots, I tried one of a quilt that is hanging in the dark entry way. Hmmm, I don't know about this. It might be the blog post so I'll have to publish this post and then click on the photo to make it larger and see how the detail is. Let's see how it works with a group shot.....

Well, that's one kind of group. HA!

Here's a better bunch. Shhhh, don't tell but these are the baby makers. lol

Okay, I better read that book some more. In between the other nine million things I am juggling right now. :o)

To all my buddies in the cold, cold Midwest and east coast, I hope your heaters are working, that you got a snow day (or three) and that your pantry is fully stocked!
