I bought a new camera over the weekend (an Olympus FE-4030), and these are my first photos with it! It'll take some getting used to in understanding it. This is going to sound weird, but I feel like I had my own language and relationship with my old camera, in that I not only understood all its settings, but I knew what to do when it wasn't working the right way. When I took pictures with the new one, I kept getting frustrated when I didn't know which settings were where, and the changing light settings (it was partly cloudy) only exacerbated things. I can already say that I love my new one, and that there is much more clarity in the photos than the ones produced with my older one, but I am still learning. I cannot wait until I understand its language!
It has been raining non-stop here. I put on my cheeriest, most ruffly outfit to combat the mucky weather. I have hesitated in the past to pair this sweater and this dress together, because it seems like confectionary overload, but this week I couldn't resist looking like funfetti. Again.
I love the new camera, too! I always love your photos because the scenery is just so beautiful.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I love some funfetti.
ReplyDeleteBut I think the sweater works with the dress because although it has ruffles, it's a very subdued neutral tone. It lets the dress funfettize-through. [the verb form of funfetti is funfettize, right? or just funfet...]
Either way, it looks lovely :-)
Congrats on the new camera
ReplyDeleteI don't think your outfit is too much, I like the ruffles and the dress :)
yay for a new camera! so fun learning all the settings.
ReplyDeleteand i love me some funfetti. my birthday is tomorrow and my parents asked what kind of cake i wanted... i said funfetti. haha! (really, i just want to eat the frosting. cake isn't necessary.)
The new camera does wonders for the colors in your dress! :) You look awesome. I'm loving this sweater with the dress- and the little red belt looks awesome, too! I covet your boots! :)
ReplyDeleteI think the sweater and dress are a perfect match.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new camera! The combination of the sweater and dress is fantastic-- you come up with such great matches.
ReplyDeleteOh yay for a new camera! I love the outfit, even if it is funfetti overload. :) It's sunny here today.. too sunny. Ha ha. I complain too much about the sun... but I'm desperately hoping the weather will cool down. Happy Monday JoAnn!

Cute! Love the floral dress!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit!! The ruffles, and the flowers, and the colors - it's all the best things combined in a way that's perfectly fun without being overwhelming. A+ in my book. And the new camera looks great too, how exciting!
ReplyDelete(Also can I steal some of your rain? It is way too hot here.)
You must live in an amazingly beautiful neighbourhood because your photos always have these beautiful backdrops! nicely done :)
ReplyDeleteLove the ruffle-y outfit AND the photos. New cameras are exciting but definitely very frustrating, I am still getting used to mine after two months!

ReplyDeleteLove love your boots! Also the dress and cardie are so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGood luck for figuring out your new camera.
Congrats on the new camera and good luck as you learn to use it! I think your pictures are stunning, as always.
ReplyDeleteAnd those boots are perfect with your dress. Very cute!
Love this dress and sweater combo. Great way to transition the floral piece into the fall. And the camera looks like it takes great pictures. - Katy
ReplyDeleteHow weird that I was listening to Coldplay when I read this post.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit!!! You look absolutely darling, in a good way :)
I seriously love that sweater! It totally works with that dress, or really anything! And now it's almost too hot again to wear it! Ugh!
ReplyDeleteJoann, WE HAVE THE SAME CAMERA!! HAHAHAHA!!! What color are yours?? I have the pink one hihi. How about we do a post using the "magic" setting. I like the lomo effect of the Pin Hole and the crazy photos of fish eye hahaha
ReplyDeleteYou'll get the hang of it although I haven't really used some of the features yet :( or explored it actually. hmmm have you tried the panorama??
