New Camera - Weeee

So over Christmas I organized a camera swap with my sister. I needed something that could take decent pictures of my artwork and she needed something that could do decent video. Solution? I bought her a camera and she sent me hers.

The above picture is one of my first snaps with it. It shows a figure study I was working on and finished around New Year's time.

I know this isn't the king of cameras, but it has more power and functionality than any camera I've ever had (excepting when I was doing a film camera class and we had access to a photolab.)

So far I'm pretty pleased with it, but I still need to learn more about how to work it. Even more, I need to rig up some lighting - if you happen to know anything about that, don't be shy about giving me advice!

Next week: a report on my winter activities and a New Year's Resolution if I am very ambitious.
