Mum's camera woes
Mum:
Going to show you one of the reasons why the blogging has been missing lately.
About a month ago my lovely Nikon Coolpix S33 camera died. It had been losing battery charge very rapidly, and I had changed the rechargeable battery once, to no improvement. Then it decided to not switch off, and just blink a light at me until the battery ran down. It still charged, but then it just ran the battery flat immediately afterwards.
So, new camera. Which arrived and I instantly thought, hmmm this may have been a mistake. V cheap flimsy case, the door to get at the memory card, battery and charging socket wouldn't open to start with. And then it wouldn't close easily. But I charged it up and went out with the beasties, and not one of those first day's pics was good enough for blogging. Not one. All were out of focus. All looked shaky. The light was dull and cold.
But I kept trying, adjusting settings, trying different conditions, and believe me when I say that the pics below are the best I have ever taken with it - and I think they are terrible. Nothing is properly crisp and in focus. It was a dull day, but not as dull as it looks... I mean, you can barely make out C&T's faces! And what is the weird pink tone on the tarmac path?
Anyway, the camera is going back 'faulty', because I don't think that a camera that takes every pic out of focus, dark and grey-pink is working properly.
Next one is already ordered.
Fingers crossed for it, eh?
