So to recap, I bought a new camera and then ignored it for the better part of 4 months. In order to remedy this sorry state of affairs (and to prevent myself from going into winter hibernation), I set myself some goals.
1. Take the camera out of the house
2. Take photos along the river near my flat.
3. Go for a stroll along the South Bank
4. Go somewhere new and take photos.
It took a bit more than a month to achieve all four, but I did, finally.
When I posted about learning to use my new camera, it was with the intention of actually using it. I am sorry to say that since coming back from Edinburgh, with the exception of one 10 minute excursion, my amazing, new camera has sat in it’s case, in the house.
I’m still reading about the menus and settings and ISO and shutter speed. This is the only photo (the book cover for my as-yet-unwritten novel). Silly me.
In the next month (in addition to Nanowrimo) I will:
1. Take the camera out of the house
2. Take photos along the river near my flat.
3. Go for a stroll along the South Bank (cheesy, but one of my favourite places)
3. Go somewhere new and take photos.
I’ll report back next month. Over and out.
After researching cameras for a mere 2 and a half years and after months where I delved into far too much detail on sensor sizes and agonised over memory cards (Who knew there were so many?), I finally chose a new camera. I wanted one I could carry around all day without killing me or my back or my shoulder or my neck. I wanted the image quality to be as good as possible and I wanted the option to grow into more advanced settings.
