Ros and Dave let us borrow their camera




... and it is an absolute beauty of a camera. I definitely thin that we will purchase it from them. The first time we used it, I didn't have a clue what was going on with all those dials. But after a couple of days I was beginning to get the hang of it. The macros are amazing. The continual shoot apparatus allows you to catch an insect in action or a bird or whatever. It's great to be then able to feel you haven't missed a thing. The Bokeh is surreal. I love it!

I love the way you can focus on the foreground or focus more on the background. Very clever. Makes me look clever... (But it is really the camera). Bryce has hardly had a go of the camera. Mainly because he has been driving a car or a golf club. But I was able to capture a lot of our weekend away. I am imagining all the wonderful things I will be able to do, once I open the instruction book. I guess I'm becoming more like the family in general. I like to fiddle with things. Get my confidence up by doing rather than following instructions. Must be my midlife rebellion streak.
