I have not been happy with the photo quality my cheapy little point and shoot camera has been delivering lately.
Could it be because it has fallen a gazillion times and now there are dark shadows all along the top of every picture?
There is a beautiful blog called French Country Style from the Foot of The Rockies that I visit occasionally that always has such gorgeous, clear pictures. Recently Pat posted 10 tips for great picture taking and showed the point and shoot camera that she uses.
I just happen to be in the market for one! It's a Canon Powershot Elph.
That's all the incentive I needed. I ordered it online from Walmart and picked it up at the store the same day. I got the Elph 180.
I have been playing with it, taking pictures of things I recently posted to see if they look better, and of some other things around my house and yard.
Here's a sample....
My old camera....
To me it is a huge difference, and with practice, my pictures may be somewhat decent soon!
Some other pictures I took with the new camera....
It is actually sunny and 57 degrees outside today, so I went out to take a few pictures of things that popped up out of the ground. Pat suggested to take outdoor pictures on an overcast day, but I had to get out in the sunshine and just shoot!
It's always fun to get something new and play with it, but this new toy will come in handy for my item pictures for my Etsy shop as well as my blog.
Sometimes you just have to upgrade to something better.
Check out Pat's post for those 10 tips for great pictures!
What have you been shooting lately?

New camera.....
Here's another one...
One of my favorite features so far is the rechargeable battery. No more buying expensive lithium batteries!
