I finally received my new camera yesterday. After reading many reviews of a low price range digital cameras with lithium-ion rechargeable battery, I decided to go with a very humble model that makes apparently great photos. Well, if people all over the world think it's a good camera (for an amateur like me) - I'll take it! Here is the first photo I made in my living room, with only a little day light:
Here is the second picture made using a macro feature (I cropped it a lot):
Although I reduced the picture to 1024x651, you can see beautiful details (click to see larger image).
Not bad... I will experiment more with my new camera in the coming days and weeks and let you now how it works out for me.
2. My examsI was extremely nervous before and during the exam on Saturday. It was a simulation examination, face to face with the examiner only. I think I have a serious problem regarding stressful situations lately. Must start meditation or yoga, stress is killing me. I had my other exam yesterday evening. It was not so easy but I hope I did well. Remember the last exam I had and I cried about this one question I wasn't able to answer correctly? Well, I had the result last night and I had 96 %! I couldn't believe my eyes! It's so embarrassing, whining for nothing, shame on me. And the exam before that (now I'm bragging) I had 100 % on the first part and 92 % on the second. I have only two other exams left: French language and the final exam that includes all the material we had. I'm really happy about it and can't wait to have my diploma.

Congrats on your fantstic grades, maybe you're a brain and you didn't even know it...Your new camera takes very nice pictures, that close-up of the african violet flower came out crystal clear. My camera is a very humble one as I am really a true beginner but I am working on improving all of the time. Looking forward to more of your snaps in the future.
Well done!!!!!!!!! Your results sound fantastic. Ah, soooo rewarding to get something back for all the effort that goes in.
@Sherri: Thank you! Actually I was always very good in school but that was long time ago. I'm happy to see that I'm still able to do it ;-)
@Sonia: Thank you, it is very rewarding and it boosts my self confidence as a bonus!
Lovely shots! Do you mind saying which type of camera you got? I love the cannon and panasonic's actually...
Here's a really cool read on how to take photos: kenrockwell.com (go to his how to section, it's great)
And lastly, you rock on exams! I want you to take all of my tests.
:)
@ Expat T.: Ah, you noticed that I didn't give the name of the camera!? I did it on purpose, of course, because it isn't a Nikon, Canon or Panasonic. It's a Samsung ES55. And I usually hate this label and never buy anything from them. But the reviews were so good all over the world that I finally gave in (the price was also very convincing, only 100$ on bestbuy.ca). So far it seems very nice for my needs but I have to experiment more in order to know. Thanks for the link, that Website is awesome!
@ Expat T: I forgot about the tests: no problem, I'll take your tests, you just have to pay my ticket - I always wanted to visit Vancouver ;-)
Congrat for the great marks you had! You deserve to be proud of yourself.
As for the camera, it's not the camera which takes the picture, it's you. I had a low-end model for years and took great pic with it. Yours look good too!
Those are lovely pictures and great, great job on those exams! :)
Thank you, Kat!
