Blurry photos aaaarhg

-
I love this photo of my son. It's perfect in every way except for the blurriness. I love the spontaneity the smile the BIG blue eyes just dancing with merriment..... What I don't love is the blurriness.



Now the problem is I don't understand why it is blurry. I had the settings on the camera set for automatic of kids and animals. So it is supposed to compensate for the fact that kids move..... and in other shots it has worked well but for some reason it came out blurry this time. Any ideas? Any advice on how I can stop this happening? .... please, please, please guys I'm desperate here!

I can't help with the blurry issue but can you use it anyway?

Do you zoom a lot? It is harder to focus when you have it zoomed and you are holding it. Try using a monopod, it will help your keep steady.

Yes I do zoom ALOT..... lol... but I thought having the setting on 'movement' would make up for any slight movement I made. So obviously not?... lol.... thanks guys!

I do zoom alot cause I have heaps of photos of my childhood in the 70's (oops giving away my age again) where the photo was taken from too far away. Plus I love to record how cute the kids are at each age. Aren't we lucky though that digital cameras are so cheap and have so many functions that weren't available on our mums little automatic kodak camera's in the 70's.

Cardstock only Layouts

-

After looking at the cost of a layout I'm going to challenge myself to do some cardstock only layouts (not for my wedding though). Do you think you could manage it? Well I'm not sure but I'm gonna give it a go. But it does get a little ridiculous the costs, con't you think? So I'm going to challenge myself to do a layout using cardstock and patterned paper only! Of course not having a cricuit or sizzix or anything this will mean hand cutting my title....... painstaking... BUT I think it'll be a challenge artistically too. These layouts were done by Deb of Toowoomba and you can see how she's used her paper and cardstock to acentuate her photo's theme.... I especially love the dolphin! When I went to a scrapbook evening recently one of the ladies did a fabulous layout using paper piecing. She made Dora the Explorer layous and her 'dora' was fantastic. I don't think I have that much patience but punching and tearing are right up my alley. Bu...

Coffee Mugs are Finished

Here are the digi scrapped coffee mugs I told you about a few posts back. They're back from the "printer". These were really easy to do. I first created my document that I was digi scrapping and I made the size of the document 4" x 6'" (a standard photo). I then decorated that page using my digital scrapbooking papers and embellishments and finally added the photos. I then went to my local photo lab and uploaded these images to their software and chose to have them printed on mugs. (I chose the stretch option which stretches the image around the mug. So then I had to resize the image to get all my decorations on the mug). And here they are! It only took them a week to print them! So if you're thinking of doing this for a christmas present I think you may just get it back in time...... but check with your photo lab to make sure they could get it back to you before Christmas. I'm happy with the result..... hope the recipients will be too?

Digiscrap a PhotoBook when on special!

-

Have you ever wondered what to do with all that beautiful digitally scrapbooked work? Well you could print a photo book. I save all my pages up and then when there's a special on (Like the recent $9.95 for a 19 page book at Big W) I go in and get them printed. This way I have a hard copy of my work to show people and I get the pages printed very cheaply... that's around 52 cents per page. Just remember though the specials are more commonly done for the smaller books 8 x 8 etc. So when doing your layouts keep that in mind.
