Digital Camera Media Card

Wednesday, December 28th, 2011


Here is the only Christmas photo I have of Christmas morning. We were with relatives for Christmas – so I pull out my camera only to discover that I had forgotten the compact flash card. I have done this before – each time vowing I will buy a back-up compact flash to leave in the camera bag. It is amazing how easy it is to forget it. When we got home, sure enough the card was right where I left it – in the computer’s media reader.

Well this time I mean it and will be buying a second compact flash card. So if you received a digital camera for Christmas, make sure to have an extra media card.

Taking it Easy

Monday, December 19th, 2011

This weekend I installed the software that came with my Canon Rebel XSI. It allows for editing of RAW photos. I have been playing with various settings on my camera for a few months but haven’t been able to edit the photos since we got a new computer. So I took the time this weekend to set up the software needed to view those photos.

This picture I took at the pumpkin patch during the school field trip. I thought it was so cute that the farm dog was taking a nap in the sun and one of my daughter’s classmates decided to join him. I did a little bit of editing – mainly with one setting to make the picture look older. I will try this setting again – and actually write down what it is next time because I plan to use it for a few other farm pictures.
