I am still very much under the weather, which has meant my original plans for the day have been cancelled. Instead, I am spending the day snuggled on the sofa with Uschi and enjoying a long marathon (between accidental catnaps) of The Lord of the Rings. You know a movie is superb quality when even I can tell the difference between the original DVDs and the hi-definition copy because WOW!
Anyway, my big news is that I have just clicked “Submit” on the order for a new camera to replace the one that decided to join my external HD in the great beyond. I didn’t have much choice in either of my last two cameras. My little GE was a gift from my father for Christmas and the Kodak I was using for the last year was a replacement for that camera when it died because the store no longer carried that model and it was the only camera in the store within the price range that I could see to use. Both were fine and well, but while my photography skills are decidedly amateur they do exceed either of those cameras. And the Kodak was a bit too clunky for my tastes. So, this time I did my research and I’m fairly pleased with this specific camera. Newegg says I should have it by the end of next week, which is perfect because there are plans for cupcaking and as such a good photograph is necessary.
