Due to overwhelming response . . . Photographic Friday is cancelled until further notice. I simply can’t keep up with the plethora of links . . . I am especially thankful to Jena at Organizing Mommy and Andrea at Embracing Him for their participation. Oh, and since a few of you have asked, here is a little information about my camera. My photography is made possible with a Canon 40D. This 10.0 Megapixel, high-sensitivity, high-resolution Canon sports a strong and rugged magnesium-alloy exterior.
The camera has a new AF system with 9 cross-type sensors and the world’s first diagonal high-precision cross type AF at center point with f/2.8 and faster lenses. The 3.o” LCD monitor with its live view function is convenient. The Canon 40D can shoot up to 6.5 frames per second. This camera provides superb image quality with outstanding color tones. I utilize a Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM ultra wide-angle zoom lens. I enjoy its extremely precise focusing. This lens has internal stabilization that makes it outstanding even in low light situations.
O.K. – That isn’t true.
I do not own a Canon 40D. I do have a traditional 35 mm Canon Rebel from the “olden days”, but it sits in a drawer. It does sport a very nice Tamron Lens, but that sits in the drawer as well. You see, I now like digital photography . . . it’s so much more convenient. I have a short attention-span and like seeing my photos right away. So, until I realize my dream of that Canon described above, I will continue to shoot my photos with my faithful Olympus C-740 Digital Camera.
Its compact body is convenient and it takes fairly high-quality pictures. The most important feature of this little number is – it really does sit on my counter ready to be utilized at any moment.
“For his part, every beauty of art or nature made him thankful as well as happy, and that the pleasure to be had in listening to fine music, as in looking at the stars in the sky, or at a beautiful landscape or picture, was a benefit for which we might thank Heaven as sincerely as for any other worldly blessing.” – William Makepeace Thackeray

More secrets revealed! I think you could have any camera and still take the perfect photo. It was a pleasure to join Photographic Friday and I look forward to its revival!
Thanks, Andrea!
lovely chandelier by the way.
I’m sad I didn’t get a chance to participate in your Friday Projects. Oh well. Everyone, including myself, is busy during this season. It is probably or the best.
I hope you have a Merry Christmas.
I agree, you take lovely pictures, even without a 40D. The most important tool a photographer has is an artistic eye, and you clearly have that!
Thanks Mrs. Paranuk! Flattery will get you . . . everywhere.;-)
Kathy,
Sorry this had to (temporarily) stop. I would like to do a linky thing also. I think that you need to have a set up with the
1_______________ “be the first to comment” type of thing. In other words, it needs to be obvious and user-friendly, and it will work. All of the other sites that use the Mr. Linky have this type of setup.
As far as photography, I think you are right. Digital is the way to go. It produces such nice results. I think I could do it, if I made it a priority. Right now, I just buy equipment for Jo-snazz and she helps me out. (Gotta know your limits!)
Much blessings.
Organizing Mommy, Thanks for the helpful hint about Mr. Linky! I love Jo-snazz’s photos.
You take lovely photos :0) I wish I had remembered to participate in your photo thing – also, my camera is on it’s way out – all of my photos have lines criss-crossing through them and I don’t know why. I’m hoping Santa brings me a new one for Christmas!
Mrs. Tee, If I initiate Photographic Friday in the future, I will look forward to seeing your photographs. I hope you have a blessed Christmas. By the way, I have to thank you for inspiring my post today!
I am in the market for a new camera. Thanks So much! I just hope it isn’t too late for Santa!
Jules, My big decision, when and if I ever take the big plunge buying a new camera, is over the choice between the Canon Rebel xsi 12.2, the Canon 40D, and the Canon 50D. I have eliminated the Canon Rebel xsi as being just a bit too “lite weight” with more plastic components. The choice between the 40D and the 50D is more difficult. At this point I would purchase the 40D as I do not see enough bang for the buck moving up to the 50D. There are terrific web sites reviewing these cameras. Just google the names of the cameras. Have a lovely Christmas. I hope you spend oodles of time with your grandson!
I think your photos are beautiful no matter what type of camera you are using. Plus, I don’t know the difference between a Canon D40 and a disposable camera!
Merry Christmas to you, too, and I will post my menu for Christmas dinner sometime this week!
Carrie
Your photos are so beautiful.
Thanks, Rona! Have a very Merry Christmas.
I enjoyed reading this, although I don’t understand a lot of the terminology. I DO know you sure take beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing them!
