Quite an undertaking

Wow. This is going to take me quite awhile. The picture taking alone will be a big undertaking. I got some good shots in yesterday. The sun was shining brightly, so no flash was needed and I could just lay stuff on the floor and shoot. Coming home from work when it is nearly dark is not so good. Since I'm still learning to use my new camera there are so many settings I have to carry the manual around with me but, thank the heavens (I quit saying thank God because I know he really doesn't give a crap about camera manuals or probably most the stuff I'm always thankful for) the manual is written all in English. I got a separate manual with all the other languages - so I could just throw that one in the trash and I don't have to flounder around searching for the English version of what I'm looking for. It would be helpful, though, if they could have explained the little itsy, bitsy icons better. Most of them don't make a lick of sense to me - but that could be because I don't know much about photography and international icons. What I'm trying to say is - I'm still learning all the flash settings. So this is slow going. But I'll learn a lot after this project is done.
I did come up with a cool design. Now I'll go see if I can use the design in this blog - or if I have to have a website. I love the design so much, I just may spring for the site, just so I can use it. Hey, I'll learn a lot about web sites that way, too. Gosh (again notice I did not say God), I'll be so smart!
