As an early birthday present my grandparents (on my Mom's side) gave me an Olympus Sp-56ouz, 8.0 Mega-pixel, 84.2 mm camera!!!!! I have already gone on an hour and a half photo-shoot (one of my best ever) and already have several good pictures to add to my collection. I have posted some of those pictures marking them as Olympus. There will most certainly be more to come! :)
Posted in the midst of blissful and rapturous delight.

Tripods
A tripod comes in very handy in all types of situations, and is helpful for long shutter speeds in macro as we have been talking about the last week.
For macro a shorter tripod works best, but most tripods don't go very low to the ground. Also, what about uneven ground? What if a tree is in the way?
So I have been looking around for a good tripod that would suit my purpose. Mom had printed me off some pages containing photography tips and on one of the pages was a tripod recommendation for Ultrapod 2 by Pedco. I looked it up online and began reading about it. Here is the description:
"A small, light weight (4oz) portable camera tripod, injection molded from fiberglass reinforced nylon with aluminum threaded components. Features sturdy fold out legs, a unique ball and socket camera mount assembly, and a strong Velcro strap for securing to tree limbs, railings, pack frames, or other similar objects. Folds to a compact 7 inch lengh to fit in a pocket or camera bag. Designed for use with larger 35mm cameras, compact camcorders, spotting scopes, and binoculars. Available in black, red, blue, and yellow. ($15.95)"
There is also an Ultrapod 1 that is 2oz, supports a smaller range of cameras, folds to 4 inches, and is less expensive. ($14.95) This is the one I got because I don't need the heavier duty tripod and a smaller tripod would fit in my camera bag better.
Note: This week's theme is water.
