Rusty: I did too, but let's give Jan the benefit of the doubt. After all, she keeps saying she doesn't even have time to take a break and breathe any more.
Marcus: Isn't that dangerous? When I run and play too hard, I have to stop and catch my breath. Doesn't Jan know to do that too?
Merci: It isn't that she doesn't know to catch her breath when she's running in circles, it's a matter of not having enough hours in the day to stop to take a deep breath and de-focus.
Cyndi: What does de-focus mean? Is that when Jan takes a picture and we're moving so fast we're just a blur?
Percy: No, that means Jan gets so focused on what she is doing, she forgets to come up for air.
Marcus: She's drowning?
Sam: No, she has a one-track mind. Give her two or three things to do and she de-rails. By the time she's back on track, she has to rush to make up time.
Marcus: So Jan has two or three things to do. What does this have to do with the quality of our pictures?
Micah: No, Jan has more than two or three things and she's an old fogey with a leaky mind, so when all these things pile up every day, she gets rattled and confused.
Marcus: I think I know how she feels. I'm a bit confused myself right now.
Percy: This is her old one. As you can tell, there's going to be quite a learning curve. Sorry for the photo quality of both but we were lucky to get these.
Merci: So what can we do to help her find the time to learn the new camera?
Cameron: I know. We can set her watch back an hour a day to give her extra time.
Sam: That sounds like a good idea. Let's do it!

Thankful Thursday blog hop is hosted by Pepi Smart Dog.
Thoughtless Thursday blog hop is co-hosted by Ruckus the Eskie and Love is being owned by a husky.
We're sure Jan is going to take some terrific photos with her new camera!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new camera! I would love to get one.....I am still just using my backberry for photos!
ReplyDelete|ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
We remember when meowmy/growlmy got her new camera...she wanted to hide it and keep using her old one. BOL/MOL!
ReplyDeleteNow she does use it exclusively, but she knows it can do way more than her also leaky/stressed brain can deal with...sigh...
Wishing that there were classes offed when peeps get a new device!
Enjoy your new flashy-box, Jan!
You better hide your furry ones...
OH OURS momma has the same problem went from a small little camera to a more fancier better ..cough..cough..one, she was so confused about what to do that she decide she would just close her eyes and shoot...that is why you always see the same picture of us...lol
ReplyDeletestella rose
Mom's had hers for over 2 years and she still reads the manual!!! BOL!!!
ReplyDeleteMy human has that same camera - just from a different year! All the photos you see on my blog since, oh, about 2009 or 2010, were taken with either her current Sony, or an earlier version of it. She is just now working on upgrading to a DSLR - but she has been very happy with the Sonys.
ReplyDeleteP.S. don't be afraid to play with the Manual mode! It takes the best photos that way.
We don't think our mom could EVER master that fancy camera. She has trouble with the little one she has.
ReplyDeleteBUTT we all know that Peeps have a real Passion fur their Flashy Beasts.
We feel you pain dear furends... you KNOW you will NOT have a moment of PEACE now.
She will have fun trying to figure that camera out gang!
ReplyDeleteguys...may bee if yur mom stopped runnin in circles N changed it ta like say, figure 8's ore squares ore try angles...it wood be better for her ?? knot sure but may be !!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new camera! I'm sure you'll love it ♥
ReplyDeleteThat's funny : Mum got her first camera two days ago and has to learn how to use it too ! We're looking forward to see your next pictures ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteIt is a real catch 22..you blog..you want better photos you get a new camera or in my case lens and then because you blog you run out if time to earn about it ....grrr..but it happens..and the more you use it the easier it becomes..looking forward to some great pics guys..tell Jan to stop and breathe....;) hus and loves Fozziemum xx
ReplyDeleteBe patient with Jan....she'll learn how to take super duper pics with the new camera!

Patience is what is needed. It took M a bit to learn her new camera and 9 months later, she's still learning. he he I think our humans need day stretchers! A gizmo that would give them longer days so they could do more!
ReplyDeleteThat leaky mind thing is contagious. Except our mom refers to herself as an "old dog." Don't ask us why...we think it's disgusting.
ReplyDeleteI can relate on both fronts Jan. There just aren't enough hours in a day, and my camera sucks! Wish I could get a nice new camera too, one that would do my beautiful furkids justice!
ReplyDeleteLove & Biscuits,
Cathy, Isis & Phoebe

Congratulations to Jan on her new camera! We bet she'll learn how to use it, and get some great photos. :)
ReplyDeletePepiSmartDog: you chose a really great camera. That Sony gets rave reviews.
ReplyDeleteWe use a Canon 7D but we also have a Sony point'n'shoot because they have a great sensor in them.
You'll LOVE your new camera when you get it organised.
If you need help - just yell!
