Christmas With A New Camera

Ever since Santa Came, I have been playing with my new toy working with my new tool.  I didn't have my camera for the first big celebration and didn't have a memory card for it for the second big one one mentioned in Christmas Snapshot.  Then, I became armed and dangerous...

We converged on my parents and every body became a target...

Daddy

Mama

The In-Laws

and The Out-Laws!

Seriously, we tried all sorts of angles...

Harris

...and shots...

Lillie and Lydia making photos with their devices

 ...and subjects...

Luci

...and actions.

Wonder what Lillie, Harris, and Lydia were getting into here?

And who provides better opportunities for learning and options for teaching than family?

While we were together, we shared family fellowship over a feast fit for any king.  There was probably enough food there to feed fifty but our crowd of almost twenty did our best to consume it all.  We still eat like the farm hands the folks raised, I guess.

Then, the wrapping paper was sent flying...

This new camera seems to capture everything...and what a good job it does!  

I cannot wait till I learn to use a setting besides AUTO for everything!
