Shooting with a Canon IXUS-2

Earlier this afternoon I decided to test out the finer-attributes of my little camera, a compact Canon Digital IXUS v.2 .

Each photo makes me smile with amazement. Whilst taking the photographs I did not expect them to turn out so well.

But it was not till I was uploading them that I realised how well the camera had worked! But it got me thinking: Imagine the imagery I could capture if I had a better CANON? Is there a better CANON Camera?

Yep, there is: the Canon EOS 30D.

No doubt these are quite expensive – but I see value for money. Every CANON is a good camera. Sarah has already said she wants a new Digital Camera in the EOS range. I don’t blame her: Canon Camera’s not only look great but they also are light-weight, easy to use – though a tad expensive.

I now want a camera that will allow me to go macro.

I have a fascination for ants. Like every child, I spent many a day stomping them. I suspect I was quite over-zealous for a time.

But now I am more interested in learning how to take better photographs of ants, viewing their under-carriage, their antenna, their journeys. Can you imagine being an ant? No, not as an “insignificant”, but for the massive journeys they take, day in, day out. From the hill to the back door, across the kitchen sink to the sugar. Seems it only takes one grain to attract the inquisitive nature of ants.
