Camera Woes

I have a decent Canon camera but it’s not an SLR. It takes great pictures. Sometimes.

Lately I haven’t wanted to take any pictures with the flash but if I don’t they usually come out blurry, on ANY setting. I can take 15 pictures and get 2 good ones.

Mind you, the caveats to this include: I am inside with varying degrees of natural lighting, I’m usually trying to photograph a moving child and I don’t REALLY know how to use my camera properly. I guess.

I’m sorta lobbying around here to get a new camera because we have a baby coming and I don’t want every picture of her to be blurry or with the flash. But a new camera isn’t free. So, I either need to figure out what I am doing with this one or… well, I don’t know what.

I do know I’m frustrated. That’s for sure.

click to enlarge and see that the middle one is blurry but has better lighting. Serioulsy, I can’t win…

P.S. Isn’t that a killer dimple??
