Photography. It's killin' me.

Today is a beautiful, if cold, sunny day here in Fair Oaks. I have been waiting all week for some sun so I can get some more shots of my Harvest Leaves Collection. This photography part of my business ifs freaking killing me!!!! I have a decent little camera. It's a roughly $350 Olympus. Perfect for what I bought it for at the time, my kids. I can drop it from 6 feet, its waterproof, etc. Now however, I need it to take lovely detailed, clear pictures of little things. Not working so much. It's not I'm sure that the camera can't do it. Im sure it can actually turn out a rather decent, not professional, but decent photos. I, however, do not know how to get it to do that. This is my 7th? set of pictures for my jewelry. I am so unbelievably over the whole process of setting up, taking pictures, editing the pictures, uploading the pictures. UGH!!! I finally got some fairly nice ones last time, but the pixelization was too small, or something for my Etsy shop, so now they are blurry. Sigh. The process begins again. So, now off to take some more. Please, please wish me luck in doing this. Because seriously, if I can't get some pictures to turn out, I just mind loose my mind!! ( Oh wait. I lost that years ago!! LOL)
