New camera.

The new camera I got for my birthday actually has fewer megapixels than the point and shoot camera I’ve been using for the past 2 years, but it has many, many more buttons and more controls. I know this means I have more control over how I take pictures, but it also means that I am much more likely to take bad pictures. I think we took about 300 photos today, mostly of Edda and the dog and only after I downloaded them all to the computer did I realize I overexposed 90% of them. Oh well, there is much to learn.

One of my favorite features is that I can hold the shutter button down and it will just keep taking 2.5 pictures a second.

It was beautiful weather here, 70 and windy. We took out kite out for a spin. Spent 15 minutes flying and 30 minutes untangling string.

I also went to 2 Rett Syndrome events today. One was a kick off meeting for the stroll-a-thon in Fairfax, VA on October 21 and another was a dinner/gala/silent auction/casino where I learned how to play craps – kind of. It’s been a long day.

  1. Doris, Happy Birthday! I hope it was a day just like you, wonderful. I love all the last few blogs. It is Sunday here so when you are wondering about Edda and Jeremy and Vince while at work, know that I am going to be thinking about you at your first day of work.
