Capture it

This is a fine print that I won when Carrie from www.cherryblossomtattoo.etsy.com had a giveaway. First time I ever won anything, and it’s not like I’m not participating lol. Thanks a mil Carrie!!
Recently, looking at my boutique and the different items for sale there, made me realize that taking the photos and actually capturing the essence of the object as it stands in real life…well, there lies the difficulty. I feel a bit frustrated because of not having the time to really concentrate and learn how to improve my photographic skills.
In truth:
a/ concentration right now is not as it was due to evident lack of sleep and a certain 12 months baby who’s starting to discover the world.
b/ the light here in Ireland is scarce, you really wanna catch and squeeze as much sunshine as you can during the good days
c/ which is problematic cos I have a bit more time in the evenings lol so The Gimp is a savior.
d/ but there again I don’t know how to use it well, I’m sure I’m passing by all sorts of options that I could us to photoshop better my pics
e/ Often I don’t even have time to photoshop!
f/ my camera batteries start to die the instant you replace them…
g/ plus cheap camera all together
I’m giving out aren’t I?! Too tired to think straight. The solution:
a/Baby does his nights
b/ I sleep the whole 8 hours
c/ I get a tutorial for the gimp
d/Get a better camera
Do you dear reader, know of or own a brillant camera wich is great for close ups, macro and such and that you’re delighted with?
Any tips would be welcome.
I think for now I’m going to stick to solution d/, That’s the one, I’ve got full control over 
My friend Nicola is a great photographer, she’s already sent me a few links that I need to really take the time to look at.
Also if I get a big nice new camera, I already know there’s a gorgeous shop where I can get handmade high quality ultra cute camera bags called Priddy creations. I mean, look at that!
She even does custom choice of fabric…It’s all too nice not to look at…
Well -hum hum- let’s camera shop first…Hubby said it’d be my anniversary present in October…4 years married…*sigh*…time does fly…

Congrats on winning something! It feels good huh?!
I LOVE the link you posted there to the camera bags – they are gorgeous – I will have to have a good browse there when I have a bit more time!
Any progress on finding a camera? The Panasonic ZS3 has got good reviews, as has the Canon sx200IS (which I have!).
