Test Post...

Over a year ago the camera I was using for my blog updates died. As funds were tight and I couldn't justify the expense of a camera for taking pretty pictures of my lil army men, I've let this blog kinda wither on the vine and die...

That is not to say I've not had an itch as of late to give it a second try...(or third if yer a schmuck and keeping score). This Christmas my brother and I did the "annual swapping of the Christmas gift cards" we're famous for, and this year I ended up with a $50 best buy card. 

The first thing to pop in my head was "Ok...now I'll look for a camera"...and off to best buy I went this evening to do just that!..

I ended up with a nice lil Canon Powershot A2500

It's not the flashiest camera on the market, but it was cheap, and came bundled with a mini tripod, case and 16gig sd card for a lil over $80.00.  Not bad considering the camera alone was $69.00...

As for picture quality, it seems to do an ok job...but lighting in my painting cabinet will be an issue....

I'm gonna play with lighting and distance this week to see what gives the best picture...maybe jury rig a photo booth...more to come.....
