That’s right. No more ‘alf inching photos from the creative commons section of Flickr. I can now take my own! And I can also now document my adventures when I leave which will, of course, make this blog a little more personal (translation: From now on, there’ll be pictures of me all over your screen and up in yow face!) As much as I’d love to buy a DSLR one day and teach myself how to use it, I don’t have time or money for one so I knew a good ol’ point and shoot was what I needed. I scoured the internet for weeks looking for the perfect one: Something not too expensive but one that takes good quality photos. And here it is: The Nikon Coolpix S2500. First photos you’ll be seeing will come either Sunday or Monday night – I’m heading up to Aberystwyth on Friday to spend the weekend with my wonderful bestest friend in the whole wide world. It’ll be the last time we see each other before I leave so, needless to say, it’s definitely going to be emotional. But until those goodbyes come on Sunday, we’re going to forget everything and just have a whole mess of fun. Pictures galore! Woop! What’s the last little big thing you bought? 
I bought a camera!!!!! 
It’s so teensy tiny but so important for my adventures. I can’t wait to share everything with you guys and all my friends and family.
My New Little Big Thing

Congratulations! My camera is my BABY (with apologies to the seven actual children–but they already know this about Mom)…
Cheers!
You don’t need much money for a DSLR, I bought mine for $250! I bought it used and had it for the past two months, didn’t know what I would do without it…
But yes, everyone start with a simple camera… Hope you get some good shots done!
Yay! congrats on the new camera. We just bought one (well, not that new now, but around April) and we are still loving it and learning exactly how to use it best. I now need to buy a camera class!
Congrats on the new camera dear! I hope you will become passionate about photography
What’s the last “little” big thing I bought? Well nothing recently:( But I got a “big” new camera and I am loving it!!!
Ooh, so cool! Have fun with your new camera!
That is so exciting! ANd smart of you. There really is no point in getting a big camera until you understand the basics so it’s awesome that you have one you can learn on!
Oh a new camera, how fun! I can’t wait to see what you come up with
I had so much trouble deciding on a point-and-shoot to buy while I was home last month. Nikon versus Canon… I ended up choosing the Canon despite owning a Nikon D-SLR. I think you will discover the point-and-shoot being more useful and easy to carry around for your travels. That is the reason I invested in a point-and-shoot while I was home.
