I went to the park tonight again. It sooths me. I need to get out and find new photo areas to explore, but by the time I get home from work and shed my "uniform", I'm tired and just want to not think. I've been really stuck on this bug thing recently. I managed to get better bee shots tonight, but nothing printable because of my lens. Ultimately, I'll end up saving up for a digital SLR so I can get real lenses to paint with, but I'm really exploring some of the capabilities camera workarounds uncover. I was waiting for night to descend on the area so I could further my long exposure tinkering, but I was rained out. I barely made it home when it started to fall. Another day. My wedding ring arrived today. It's slick... brushed surface, comfort fit, pure titanium. I'm unexpectedly tired tonight. I slept well and the day was uneventful. Maybe that's just my body telling me it's time for a deep glass of wine and some quality couch time? Anyhoo... check out my bee shots. He's a hairy little bugger.

What kind of camera do you have?
I love your pictures!!!
Canon Powershot. I love my camera!
What model?
I am in the market for a digital camera but being a girl, I am unsure what is good.
Ok. First off… go to the Digital Photography Review website and spend some time snooping around. They have some cool comparison tool online that allow you to narrow your search down to a few cameras and then compare them side by side, feature for feature. I think the most important thing to decide before you even start looking is what you really want the camera to do… I mean, are you looking for portability? point and shoot automation? manual controls? high resolution? etc. Once you have an idea, that’s your starting point. What you will find is that small features can be omitted to save a lot on price if you really don’t need them. Example, if you just want a camera for web photos or regular prints (like 3x5 or 4x6), then don’t get a high res CCD camera and you’ll save a bundle. Unless you plan on blowing your pictures up really big, you don’t need much… like 1 or 2 megapixel should be plenty. Another thing is the lens… a lens with good optical zoom and a camera with good digital zoom will cost more than one with a fixed lens. Unless you’re really going to get into photography, I’d recommend something in the “point and shoot” line from Canon (just because I have experience with their cameras and I like ‘em bunches, but other brands are good too). I used to have a Powershot S230 and **LOVED** that camera. I have an S50 now, but because I wanted the complete manual controls. I would say any of the point and shoot Powershots would rock for ya, but a good well rounded camera for a great price is the PowerShot S200. You can get Canon info direct at the Powershot site and the Canon BeBit site, but I would highly recommend the DPReview site I mention at the beginning of this post. You can always IM me if you have specific questions.
Hope that helped. ;-)
