Don't Ya Just Hate It?

Well, I was so dang excited to get a new camera for our trip, this Fall, to Cancun. I have always just had a small digital 10 mega pixel camera. I am not a great photo taker but wanted something better for our trip. Well, now own a 14 mega pixel, 36 X optical zoom bridge camera! I LOVE IT.....BUT it is still sitting in the box. Don't ya just hate to get something new and don't even know how to use it? I can turn it on and operate the zoom...that's it!

I have the manual downloaded...all 75 pages of it! I keep promising myself I will sit down, with my camera, and learn all there is to know. So far I haven't found the time. Maybe it's because November seems like a lifetime away and surely I will know all about it by then! I was so excited to get it and now I am bummed out cause I have to spend so much time learning about it!

I want to be able to take great pictures of sunsets, sunrises, the beach and all the wonders of Cancun. I wanna zoom , zoom, zoom!

So folks, what I'm sayin is don't ya just hate it when you look forward to getting something new and it's still sitting in the box? Perhaps waiting for someone to install it for you, hang it, find a place for it or just simply having to follow the instructions to use it properly!

Yep....I just hate it! I hate the fact that I have something brand spankin new and all I know how to do is turn it on!

I need to learn soon so I can practice with it and know exactly what to do and also good enough to explain to my husband just in case he wants to zoom in on some beauty at the beach!

SO....I will be spending the next few days learning all about my exciting camera and perhaps someday soon post some fabulous photos!

Well, those are the thoughts of a family Warden this 20th day of February 2012.
