I've been crawling around the garden on my hands and knees looking for tiny subjects to photograph. This enthusiasm for macro photography is quite new and its been a surprise to find that my little camera isn't all that bad after all.... it can take pretty decent closeups. It's just everything else that it finds too challenging.


But horray for gift vouchers! For the first time in my life I won a substantial prize in a website design comp and I plan to put the winnings to good use. A decent DSLR camera has been on my wishlist for a very long time... so with a few more weeks of saving I will be able to go camera shopping!

In the meantime I'm reading alot and learning as much as I can about photography and I've made a promise to myself that I will actually read the manual before I use the camera this time ;)
