So today is the day that I am going to test out the card reader on my computer. Pictures have been waiting on my point and shoot camera for a few weeks now. It's time to get them off. Plus, I have had this computer for about as long and it has this fancy card reader that I have yet to use. So here goes. Alright, works great! It's nice to not have to find my reader, hook it up and then go through all the nonsense every time I plug it in!
So here's how the point and shoot works. Sometimes, I don't take my slr and all my other equipment with me, the bag is heavy and takes up a lot of space so I give it a rest sometimes. Well for Christmas last year we bought my mom a nice little fujifilm point and shoot camera. It's an 8 mp and takes alright photos (it's too slow for me and it doesn't always focus) for what it is. Well as a surprise my husband got me one too for Christmas. It fits in my purse and I then I always have it with me. Yes, I have a point and shoot, but a good portion of my photographs are shot with my dslr. I am convinced that my husband also gets tired of carrying my camera bag was some of the reason he got me the point and shoot.
Now that I have went through all of them, I can see they have been there longer than a couple weeks, there are some on there that have been there since our vacation in Feburary!! OMG! I should pay more attention!
Now I am going to show and tell why it pays to have a point and shoot in my pocket (of my purse). To start with, I seen a beautiful sunset and I didn't have my dslr with because we were just going to town no reason to drag it along on the same ol beaten path. Here's what I would have missed if I didn't have my handy dandy point and shoot in my purse!

Now I am convinced that my husband actually pays attention and notices when I don't take the big bag of camera options with me. This is when he really feels like going a different way and taking the next turn because we've never been that way! The last time he did that we were on our way to dinner in Bryan Ohio and we passed this old beaten up house set way back off the road. Oh, I don't know if I have mentioned my obsession with old abandoned houses that are falling down and decaying, if I haven't now you know. These houses and buildings are my favorite thing to shoot, and when I can combine people and buildings I am in photographer heaven. Anyway, so we passed this house and my husband says we should drive back there and check it out. HUH? My husband the never break the law and always rain on my parade of awesome things? Well I never! Once the confusion left me I said heck yeah I want to go and check it out! Yippee! So after dinner we find it, well I find it and he takes the drive and I am so excited I am practically running next to the car! Then I realized I don't have my camera, now I am not so excited. In fact I am rather sad now! But, WAIT! My handy dandy point and shoot is in my purse, battery, YES!
Isn't this wonderful? What a miracle I had my fujifilm with me! These are shots of the front of the house. Here's one of the back and side:
I was just tickled pink with this find and couldn't wait to get out but Mr Man wouldn't let me go in because of the no trespassing signs. So I said I would go back with out him!
Here's another fun shot I got while at the store with my aunt and uncle:
Now this wouldn't have been possible with my dslr because if you know what I am talking about it's not as easy to conceal a dslr, or an slr for that matter. If you don't know what I am talking about, dslr is too big to fit in a purse. I don't have the biggest camera available, but my fujifilm is about 1/2 inch thick and roughly the size of a credit card, maybe a smudge bigger, so easy to put in my purse.
These deer were trotting casually across the street in town, I had to stop for them, realized I didn't haven't my arsenal of camera gear, remembered I had my P&S!
Here I am saying that I am so glad I had my point and shoot. Truthfully I am glad I have it. It's a nice little camera for my pocket (purse). Since I would like to believe that I am a professional photographer, it's not something I would be taking the important pictures with. I hope you have enjoyed looking at a point and shoot perspective!
For the record and for those who don't know, slr stands for single reflex lens and dslr stands for digital single reflex lens. It is a camera that gives me control of the things such as shutter and aperture.
