It’s all on the phone

I never knew how frustrating these past and next few days would be without my camera. I was prepared to be without my camera for 2 weeks, but on the condition it was being checked over. The fact that it never got sent away and I was given the refund instantly, put a spanner in the works, so now I know it’s never coming back and it’s up to me to replace it! Thing is, I don’t want to replace it – this is my chance to upgrade it, and money-wise, I just wasn’t ready for this to happen yet. After much research over cameras and pricing – even taking a glance over the fence at Nikons range aswell, I think I’ve decided that the Canon 700D is the next one for me at this stage {so long I don’t change my mind again}, leaving me $400 short! I feel like I’ve been back and forth to this store a hundred times, each time leaving more frustrated than the first.
There’s still another week and a half till I may be able to have another camera again. My phone holds no inspiration for me and it’s been an effort to capture these last few photos. How it it a camera; an accessory to my life can cause so much heart ache once taken away? I seem to have emotionally invested myself too much into the black plastic box. It’s becoming a part of me; but is this really such an issue if it is to capture memories that will last the life time? The upgrade will be awesome, but the waiting period in between, not so much.

DAY 23 | 365

After a long busy day out of the home, I got ready for bed just to stress a little bit more that I hadn’t taken my photo today. How many decent photos can you take on your phone in low light under a normal light? not many! But I do like this shot despite the quality.

 

DAY 24 | 365

My poor attempt at toy photography. Took me a while to set up the little there is here to set up {truck, mountain, trees}, since a one year old decided she also wanted to play what Mummy was playing – Not that she had any interest either before or after the photos!

 

DAY 25 | 365

Sweet Tooth – Blueberries are definitely a favourite, and added to a cold glass of water to help cool down was my refreshing healthy alternative to another pack of soft banana lollies today!

 

DAY 26 | 365

Inspiration – Getting outside does help the eye of the lens to hunt out the detail. This morning down at the park I noticed these brightly coloured concrete stepping stones. Won’t be long before Perry is jumping from one to the next!

 

I would love to hear about which camera you use, how long you’ve had it and your favourite thing about it or why you would recommend it! Apart from the fact I think I’ve choosen my match {Canon 700D}, I’m not completely sold, and don’t think I will be until after the box is in my hot lil hands!
