Happy New Year'

"Polka Blue" by Royal Albert

One of my Boxing Day bargains. Not really a bargain as it cost heaps to begin with - but paying less than half of the original price feels good.  And I'm delighted with my Christmas present. Not just a lucky shot this pic. I think the new camera has something to do with it. The potential picture taking in 2013 is rather exciting.

Happy New Year Everyone!

    1. Okay Brydie - I just retrieved the camera box and it says - Canon PowerShot G15 Digital Camera. Hope that answers your question. Remember I'm no photographer, pretty much an auto girl who points and shoots. Nicole played a large role in persuading her father to update my camera as the previous one I was using was the Canon G7. Quite old actually. Anyhow, Nicka says if I were to learn more manual stuff I would be able to make some unbelievable pictures. She's very impressed with it and she received a very good review from the Top Photographer Retail Guy at Domayne where she works. She's tried it out and I think it's in danger - she wants one now!

  4. Ah, you're in good hands. I had the power shot G10 up until last September and it really was a great little camera. I can only imagine the 15 is even better. I love your pictures Mariana, you have a great eye and totally agree with Nicka if you go manual...whoosshka! Watch out! That was a good thing about the canon, manual options when you felt like it and macro...whew just looked at the details of the camera...f1.8-sweet for lighting :-) Happy snapping
