the lazy photographer

I've become somewhat disillusioned with my little finepix camera. It does the job but it doesn't quite do it to my satisfaction. Sunsets always have flaring arms of light that spoil the picture. Light often smudges as though the lens is dirty - which it isn't. It can't cope terribly well with indoor light and the flash is a bit hit and miss to say the least.

My boyfriend has a DSLR camera which always produces much better results than anything I can hope for and so I have become lazy when he's around. I decide that I can just nick his copy of this and steal that photo to show to people.

And so my photography skills become worse as I practice less and forget what few tricks I had learned. I've posted a few photos from this weekend's trip but they are full of all the problems that annoy me. I'll have to wait until James has downloaded his. Oh, and get myself a decent camera.
