Film vs Digital

Posted on July 1, 2010 by wadmanclan

After getting home I uploaded all of the pictures from the trip, including the ones taken by family that I was able to copy.

872 pictures

Add that to the pictures I already had for the month of June and that’s…

1229 pictures…in one month

It’s a good thing this is the digital age because if it weren’t for digital cameras that would be 52 rolls of film. So if 35mm film costs $11.99/pk-of-four 52 rolls would be 13 packages, then developing would be a minimum of $4.98 for single prints per roll plus tax. That means that this month alone I have saved $456.31 by having a digital camera. By the time my camera has stopped working (or just by the time it becomes obsolete) it will be worth it’s weight in gold.

Take my picture

Posted on April 10, 2010 by wadmanclan

After taking pictures of the kids last night I had left my point-n-shoot camera where Solvei could reach it, I know because she brought it to me this morning. She is such a cheese – she gave me the camera, pointed at it, then pointed at herself. And of course what one gets, they all want, so here are pictures of all the kids from this morning.

Speaking of cheese, Saedi insisted on posing when I took her picture!

Belated birthday

Posted on January 29, 2010 by wadmanclan

I got another birthday present. A telephoto lens for my camera, and it’s awesome! When I was getting it out of the box Saedi asked what it was, and what it was for – I was standing in the kitchen and she was sitting at the dining table doing homework. So I told her it was a new lens and it “lets me take a close-up picture of you all the way over there without having to go over there.” So I took one, just because I could.

(Yes I know it’s out of focus but I had just gotten it out of the box and hadn’t yet discovered it is not auto focus)

Here are a few more that I got while I was figuring out how it works (and discovering that my vision is not as clear as I thought).

My silly little Monkeys

Posted on January 15, 2010 by wadmanclan

Solvei has finally figured out that she can climb onto things as well. She has been trying for about a week now but her legs just aren’t as long as Nels’ so she hasn’t been able to. I finally got Christmas taken down earlier this week but hadn’t brought all the boxes to the garage yet, when Solvei discovered this box is short enough for her to climbing on. She was so proud of herself, that Nels noticed and climbed on with her.

Nels is such a ham!

And since the camera was out it attracted the big kids too (if it’s interesting enough to take a picture of I have to find out what’s going on!) so I got a few of them too.

Cute photo idea…

Posted on January 3, 2010 by wadmanclan

Warning! This first one is NOT the cute photo.

Nate came up with a cute photo idea today, so I went and got the new camera. I had him hold the camera while I was setting it up. So, if you give a man a camera what does he take a picture of?

This is the cute photo. Solvei and Nels in Nate’s ruck sack. They look ready to go with him, don’t they?

Newest good little helper

Posted on January 2, 2010 by wadmanclan

Solvei has a cold. I have had to wipe her nose half-a-million times in the last week. She doesn’t like it much but she still lets me wipe because she doesn’t like snot running down her face. Because so many tissues are required I have moved the tissue boxes from the bathrooms to the rooms we are in most.

Solvei has started to bring me a tissue when her nose needs to be wiped, and she will take it from me and throw it in the garbage when I’m done. She likes helping so much she will now bring me tissues when she doesn’t need her nose wiped, but still wants me to.

She brings me other things too. I guess I have been using my new camera a lot lately. Solvei went into my room today and my camera was sitting on the bedside table. She must have thought I needed it (or maybe she wanted me to take her picture) so she picked it up and brought it to me in the playroom.

Tired

Posted on December 24, 2009 by wadmanclan

I think Nate may already be tired of my new camera. But I love using it. I get such good pictures from it. Like this one. =P

More playing around

Posted on December 23, 2009 by wadmanclan

Just stayed home most of the day and watched the kids play. I played with my camera some more, too.

Nels was playing with Solvei’s doll, giving kisses and making her dance, then throwing it around.

Solvei has the coasters again, and the funniest faces!

Gavin and Nels goofing around.

And I know that belly button is here somewhere!

Keeping the kids up late tonight because we have to pick up Nate from the airport! (Yea! Daddy’s coming home!)

Goodie Goodie

Posted on December 20, 2009 by wadmanclan

Early Christmas present for ME (and Nate too). I got this in the mail last night with instructions to open before Christmas so I can play and be familiar with it on Christmas for best results. Yipee!!!
