Pink Saturday

Ahhh, camera, why can't I master you? You are such a tiny little thing. You look so sweet and innocent. You don't have that many buttons. But, I push just one of your buttons and it opens up a world of decisions that I must make...formats...filters...pixels...ARG! I am not good at decision making. Why didn't I just stick to my old point-and-shoot?

Oh, here comes my little friend, Autumn. I love seeing Autumn's sweet face in my Children's Church class on Sunday mornings. Today she is a pink fairy. What's that Autumn? You want your picture made in front of the pretty pink flowers? Okay, let's try this aggravating camera again.



Oh yes! Autumn, just because of you I will keep trying to master this machine. I will stick to my photography classes and practice...practice...practice. Even if I only get one good picture out of every 1000 I take, at least I'll have that one good picture.




Again, I send my congratulations to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound. Beverly, the wonderful founder and hostess of Pink Saturday is featured in the summer issue of Artful Blogging! I am so thrilled for her! I have ordered my copy and can't wait to get it! Happy Pink Saturday to one and all!!!

  1. Hello Sweet friend! I adore your pink fairy! Your pictures are beautiful! I don't know much about my poor little camera I just point and click but my pictures are not as clear as others I see. I added some steps of how I did my shabby armoire if you want to stop back by... I just edited the post! Please let me know if you have any questions! I love your feedback and many hugs,
    Olivia!

  22. Happy Pink Saturday and thanks for visiting the artchics. The photo is great! You can master the camera and one day will think back to wow that wasn't so hard. :-) Enjoy your day!

  23. I was just taking pictures at a function this morning and having a hard time getting good shots. Point and shoot was so easy and the photos turned out good. Now, so many choices, and you aren't always assured of good quality. At least with digital we can delete anything that doesn't look good. I think your pink little fairy is just adorable! Best wishes for a bright and beautiful day! :) Tammy

  24. I had to come back by - I'm going through the pink list with yet another of my strategies to see plenty .. and I've been joining blogs ... noticing you were the last one to join the same blog. How fun and funny is that! We must be tracking the same somehow... ha. :) Jenn

  30. Wonder what we did before digital cameras! I took photograph classes and used a SLR camera with all the focusing and fstops and all that! Whew, what a job just messing with the film! So I would say the digitals are easier yet they can be tricky.
    Looks like you are doing well with yours. The little princess photo is beautiful.

    Can't wait to see more.

    hugs

  36. I would like a better camera as well, but I have just mastered some of the simple features of point and shoot. From your pictures, looks like you did very well. That little girl is adorable.

  37. Awww, such a sweet picture. I have a new camera also, came last night, now to learn how to use it. Happy PS

  38. I totally understand, some techincal things sure seem to be more complicated than they need to be! Although, I'm so loving my digital camera right now, I've never had a camera before that I could take OK fotos with! I can simply delete all my blurry fotos of my thumb without wasting money on developing film! Technology, when we get the hang of it, is sooo worth the effort of learning, goodluck! <3

  39. PS - you posted on my blog that you make your own soap. I've tried looking into it and it seems really hard, how do you do it?

  42. Hello and late Happy Pink Saturday!
    Thank you so much for visiting me yesterday....I came right over to get acquainted with you and your wonderful blog!

    You and your camera did great with adorable Autumn, the Pink Fairy! What engaging smile!!!!

    I am still learning my camera and sometimes I push something that throws the whole process off and then I have to get the book out and usually run for help from hubby. He, thank heavens, understands cameras!

    Don't give up....your pictures look perfect to me!

  44. Hello, Sherry,
    Autumn is a delightful pink fairy!! She is so cute in front of those pretty flowers, and she has a little bit of a mischievious twinkle in her eye. I think you are doing very well with your picture taking. Love and blessings, Vicki

  45. A sweet pink fairy among the gorgeous Spring azaleas sure makes a delightful picture. You must tell us of any photographer tips you learn in your classes.
