What might have been...

a photo filled travelogue is in dire jeopardy. I took mah card thingy to a camera hospital so we'll see. The photos look fine IN the camera, but will not download into computer ( via cable ) or even at the local drugstore fast photo place. Grrrrr!


Meanwhile--all I has is this cloudy day peek-a-boo phone pic of the That Tower (the one a sent to Uncle to say, NOW ain't'cha sorry ya din't come along?)

I thank Rafa for his hostin' an theme of Homecoming for this week's Haiku. I'll git mah thoughts together an' announce the them fer comin' week on Friday night.

D'accord?

Grrr! New Camera Blues

I had a li'l Coolpix that I loved but it got old. 'Cause I wore it plum out from work an' play.








I replaced it wif' a Canon that disappeared off the kitchen counter in late October--wif'' some spectacular photos I had not yet downloaded. (Grrr!)







Now I has this Coolpix S 6000 cause it was small enough to fit in mah shirt pocket, but has a 7X zoom. A 5 ounce, 14.2 megapixel, "user friendly" upgrade from mah old much missed Coolpix.




Not too shure this is gonna be good. Fer me, it ain't so user friendly.


An I cain't git the colors right.



or the lighting/ white balance




Or the the focus.








Takes awhile to master the settings--Looks to be a few days of learnin' cruve, since I'se gadget challenged.


The battery has to be charged. See what I mean? CHARGED? What ever happened to snappin' in a couple of new AA batteries an' keep on shootin'?

I has some time yet to figger out if I'se keepin' it. What does y'all recommend? I need a lightweight point-n'-shoot wif' a decent zoom. User friendly.

P.S. I left responses to the comments on the prior post about Mary an' Mack.
