At first I was pretty confused about what to send her, but the more I read about her, the easier it got!<br /><br />As for the camera, I chose a Canon Powershot G16, partly because my last camera was a Canon (Canon Ixus 130) and I was very pleased with the photos it took (until I managed to knock it on the floor!) and more so because I wanted a camera which could take better close-up shots. We searched on the internet and found a list of cameras which could take photos from 1 cm distance and this came out top. It really looked like just what I wanted, and hopefully is. I'm still using it on automatic at the moment until I learn a bit more about it, but so far I've managed to take some pretty good close-ups.<br /><br />I particularly wanted this aspect because of my spinning, taking detail shots etc. I took some pretty good (well, I think so anyway!) photos today of a butterfly on our lavender, and some more shots around the garden. I'll post them tomorrow - see what you think.<br />goldiloxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770495557282483217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187034728413996907.post-481174148262135962015-06-25T17:59:09.842+02:002015-06-25T17:59:09.842+02:00The things in your swap look lovely, I bet that wa...The things in your swap look lovely, I bet that was a really exciting parcel to open. I haven't joined in with a swap yet but I am feeling tempted having seen your pictures. I'm researching cameras at the moment so would be very interested if you felt able to take a minute to let me know which you have gone for and why?Misty Cottage Craftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083061944590538900noreply@blogger.com
