New to me CoolPix

52 Week Challenge - week 19 Photographer's Choice: try something new
Found a camera in some of my husband's stuff not long ago. I finally charged up the battery and now I'm trying to figure out how to use it. You can see some of the results. I think it's back to the drawing board.
The images aren’t as clear as with your other camera, but the way you set up this collage to display them is terrific and creative. I love this image.

A great collage of your journey of discovery. Enjoy getting to know the camera.

@shutterbug49 Thanks Debbie. I on a learning curve and am way to the left on that curve! I thought this camera might be a good small camera to put in a pocket or purse and might be an alternative to the cell phone camera. Not so sure. But I have a lot to read and digest to figure it all out. Supposedly it has manual focus but I never figured out how to do that as is evidenced by the terrible photos.
@wakelys Thanks Sue. I may abort it if the results don't improve.

Lovely collage. Don't give up, and who said photos have to be sharp.

I am sure you will get the hang of it.

Although they aren’t as sharp as your other photos, I love that you have made lemonade out of them with this terrific collage. They actually make a great collage because they aren’t in focus.

A beautiful composed collage with a nice background.
( I was on the field border. The part the farmer also use for his equipment.)

Cool collection.

Neat collage! Keep at it with the camera, you’ll get the hang of it; and blurry images can also be just as fun to experiment with.

Such fun to play around with your husbands camera. Good luck

Always fun with new things to try, they never work for me first off

Thanks for the nice comments on this collage and the encouragement. I think some of the blur comes from the fact that I have to look at the screen and push the shutter button at the same time. I like looking through the eye piece to frame a photo. I think the bones of the face give some stability.

@randystreat
I agree with you on using the viewfinder. I never use the screen, I don't trust what I'm seeing, for some or other reason. It also seems to me too much like using a phone camera.

Have fun experimenting! I like the collage.

@mcsiegle Thanks Mary.

@cocokinetic The screen is one of the reasons I don't do real well with camera phone photos.
