Lost

My camera is sick, and I am lost.  The lens became scratched, dirty or fuzzy on the inside.  Every time I would try to shoot something and there was any type of light reflection, I'd get a ghost like image on the picture.  So I called the Canon shop.  They said the camera was worth the cost of the repair. 

 Oh my, to release my camera to a repair place was like sending my kids off on their first day of kindergarten.  


There is never a good time to be without my side-kick, but the fall color change is killing me.  I still have my old small camera, but it doesn't perform all the tricks as my G11.  I would love to share photos of the colors, and I will, only the following photos are from last year.    I hope I get the call any day, that my camera is repaired and ready for pick up.  






And that's the way it is.................................

  4. I get that feeling also...there is a side hinge on mind that is broken, but to send it off, and be without? Never...

    I so rely on my camera, and I need a new one, this current one is acting up, showing it's age, but we are holding off getting a newer and more expensive model. Sigh...

    Love the shots of the Autumn colors.

    Remember, it's not the camera, it's the photographer. And much as I don't want to part with mine, sometimes it's a good thing to challenge yourself by using a lower grade model for awhile. You will find that you can really push the limits with them.

  6. I am sorry you are without your camera. It's good that it can be fixed though--even at the cost of a new camera, which I am sure is what the company would prefer. I have noticed that many of my pictures look exactly the same over the years--the same things keep attracting me. The foilage is just lovely.

  8. I hear ya ! I am lost without my camera in hand , I surprise myself I don't sleep with it attached to my hand lol ! I hope they fix it and it doesn't cost a lot ! With our Nikon's it is some times cheaper to buy just a new camera body then get them fixed it's crazy ! With Nikon's it's the lenses that are the expensive part ! Lovely photos though ! Have a good day !

  16. I feel your pain ~ I too would be lost without my camera... and my computer. My computer is making a noise that I know it isn't suppose to be making. It's on it's last leg and I cross my fingers, legs, arms, eyes, and everything else that's crossable everyday that it keeps on working.

  18. I feel for you, I depend on mine too! I have "mishaps" all the time and have that sinking feeling I've scratched the lens or got water in it. I can imagine it would be an expensive fix. Your pictures are always so good!
