Camera +

My name is Gretchen and I am a cell phone camera addict…there I said it.

I love to take pictures, but I ONLY use my cell phone. It's convenient; I always have it on me. I have thought about how nice it would be to take great pictures with a big expensive camera, but then I think, really…who am I kidding?  Would I really do that?? And if I did would it last more than 2.5 seconds without being broken by someone spilling water on it, sitting on it or deciding that hang in upside down for 2 minutes right after lunch to to long and losing their lunch all over it? So, the cell phone it is.

So the other day I was reading about the Camera + app and decided to give it a try; what's the worst that could happen- I get the same slightly blurry pictures I usually get (not that that has anything to do with the fact that neither I nor my subjects can sit still for longer than 0.2 seconds)? I bought it (it was only $1.99) and took to the streets…Ok, I took to the Children's Garden. 

Here are my efforts at better quality pictures using the Camera + App.


He is obviously moving and yet he is not blurry

I love the little splash at his foot

Watching the fish

Relaxing.
Again he was rocking, but he is not blurry.
Score 1 for mommy!


She always poses when the camera is near

Calgon take me away!

I'm gonna catch this water!

I love the rays of sunlight and shadows in this one.

Looking for frogs in this one.

You can see the fish…pretty cool.

Peek-a-BOO!

This little fern looking plant is the kids favorite, so they wanted a picture.
It curse up and plays dead when someone touches it…no, really, it does!
