Somebody Got a New Camera
Somebody got a new digital camera for her birthday this year (me!), and it is about darn time too. I’ve been using a 4 mega-pixel camera that I bought about five years ago, for, well, five years. Technology has been steadily improving, but yours truly has been living in the past. That is, until now.
My gorgeous new Sony Cybershot H20 arrived bright and early this morning, which was a real treat as UPS usually comes at the end of the day and I’ve been steadily working myself into an impatient froth since Sunday when I added up my birthday gift certificates and placed the order. I was a good girl, however, and filled all my orders before I did much more than drool over it, and have only now started to really play with it. I LOVE the results I’m getting. My crystal pictures are coming out so sharp they almost hurt to look at (it is a pain I can live with, though)!
I mean, just look at these 12mm Swarovski “graphic” beads — 12mm!
I’ve got an incredible backlog of inventory waiting to be photographed (this camera has been in the works for a few weeks, and has been a convenient reason to put off photography) so look for lots of new goodies, soon!
I took the new camera out for a spin around the yard yesterday morning. It really is nice for macro work — our beads are going to love it!

[...] Armed with my new camera, I dug it out last week and gave it a try, and doesn’t it look great with glass? The last few pictures here on the blog (all with these leaves) look like they’re glowing. Which they are – because the beads are lit from the bottom! It won’t work with everything, of course, but I am loving the effect with glass. [...]
