I took these pictures while the girls swam yesterday. I love how the pictures allow time to stop so we can catch those brief, usually unnoticed moments. I read at Creating Keepsakes (video section) about shutter speed. The higher the number the less blurry action shots you get. I took these with our new camera (Canon Rebel xti) we bought just before our vacation. My sister did catch that the pictures looked different. I have been feeling very guilty about the camera. So much that I have kept the box, all tags and every piece of plastic each part came in, just in case. Bye, bye to the idea of a digital video camera. I guess it's back to our "retro" VHS video camera model and the video capabilities of our free camera. Actual live video is so overrated :) You can read about the steps that led to the camera here and here.
I have so much to learn. It was fun trying just one function. Here's the pictures from yesterday:
A captured moment of time with my camera bag. I'm sure eventually the guilt will pass too and I'll take off all the tags and throw away the plastic bags. I hope this was the right decision.

The pictures are so fun!! I like pictures - blurry or not so I can't comment on the clarity, but taking action shots like that are hard to get - so it must be working just fine! I like Cee's fashion statment - her carefree hurry up get in the pool attitude!
Buyer's remorse will be over soon. It always is.
All I can say is I am so jealous! Now I have to go to confession for gluttony and jealousy.
I too like Cee's fashion statement and Jae's flight!
