I thought it was strange that the envelope was addressed to Aaron?? But then we thought about it and Dennis and I booked with points and paid cash for Aaron, maybe that is why.

I was wondering that too Angie?!?! That must be the reason.

DD's camera is prety cool! It's an HP Photosmart R717/6.2 MP

I have it charging right now. I think I will give to her when we get to the hotel as an early Christmas present.

That will be a very nice idea!!!

Thanks for responding to that! I need to unplug it from in my bedroom!!

That,s not the OBX.... (just looked on Mapquest). Though you were looking more up towards Hatteras or Ocracoke

I don't call it that...just thought you should know where we were talking about since I think you joined after our July meet. It happens every year 4th of July week!

 

[klineyqueen]

You wear makeup on vacation? I'm not even bringing any.

I wear more makeup on the cruise than I usually wear at home. I can take it or leave it at home...but I will have it on every night of the trip!

 

[elaineteresa]

Thank you Dennis. DD and i had fun playing with it tonight. I love that I can do
B & W!

I'm not AS scared any more.

John is right. It takes experience to even understand the manuals, and I still have trouble. Manual is my favorite mode, but.....not if you don't know about apertures and f-stops. Sports mode will be handy when in bright sun on excursions, or on the Safari Ride, for animal shots. Allows a fast shutter speed to eliminate blurring as much as possible. There has to be bright light though.

For close up people pics use the portrait mode. That makes it pretty easy . Just read the Modes part of your manual and don't stress on the rest. That way you can click it to a mode and snap the 'shutter'. There should be an icon for each mode that represents the type of photo you want to make.

John, we could do a class on board. LOL. Maybe explain composition, etc. I need a review. My pictures suck lately. LOL!

I have only tried a few of the features on our 6.1 Kodak easyshare. I love the auto shutter focus setting and use that quite often, especially when the kids are in the picture because they don't stop moving very long. The soccer pics that I posted were with that setting zoomed in close.
