One thing you’ve taught me? I need a new camera so I can get pictures like this. You may be an accountant, but I love your knowledge of photography and look forward to using some real features instead of this automatic crap on mine.

Keep Foto Fridays coming!

Enjoyable as always. I can’t believe that there’s a hotel with spotty service these days, (drip, drip goes the sarcasm). I think I will now go and search my couch cushions for loose change to add to the camera fund. I must have a good shot where the body is blurry but the foot focused of one of my kids while they are small, I must. Especially now that I know how to do it, in any environment–even a flourescent lit laundry room!

I'm thinking because of the "u" in colour (which is totally the way it should be spelled) that it was Vancouver, BC, and not Vancouver, Washington that you visited.
I so wanted to end that sentence with a question mark, eh?

Yep. That's the public library in Vancouver, BC.

I still love that shot of the library…. mine didn’t turn out probably because I have already forgotten all I learned in teh first 3 installments of Foto Friday

I have to learn to adjust the settings… right, when it’s not on automatic, I have to be “smarter than my camera”.

I’ll have to work on that one

Hope the new hotel is better.

Thank you so much! I love Foto Fridays, they are so very helpful. Now if only my child would sleep so I could actually play around with my camera after all your fine instruction.
Here’s a question I have. What are the best settings for taking pictures of my constantly in motion and very wiggly son? A LOT of my pictures turn out very very blurry, or with the non moving objects in the shot in focus and my son out of focus. Am I doing something wrong? If you already addressed this, or it’s not really something you can help me with, just ignore me, but this is the main thing I’m wondering about these days as I try to photograph a very wiggly seven month old!

I’ll see what I can do. But sometimes a flash is needed for those pesky kidlets
