All of these following photos were taken with my old point and shoot camera!

I totally put my camera in a plastic bag and shot up from the water.  It doesn’t make for really sharp images but it’s still pretty cool!

You can see proof of the point and shoot in the ornament!

Seriously the macro mode is awesome!  I did not crop the baby binky photo at all!

Love fill flash with the point and shoot!  Who knew using a flash in the middle of the day could make for great photos!

Yes Mary’s hair looks like this all the time!  It’s all part of being beautiful!

A few other tips I learned.

–your point and shoot actually has to focus.  This is part of the reason why it takes so freaking long to take a photo…and why that smile your child just made is not captured.  So make sure you push the button down half way to focus and then make your baby laugh.

–there is a landscape mode and a portiat mode.  Basically portrait mode has a shallower depth of field and landscape mode is meant to have more in focus.   I thought this was handy to know

–There are also modes for fireworks and other cool things.  Read your manual and find out more about your camera!
