Self-portrait

My birthday present from my momma was a used digital camera. I'm always asking to use her camera and I have to say, she's a tad stingy with hers. But now I have my own Canon Elph. And it tweets like a bird when you turn it on!

I'm getting the hang of it, but I still find the camera to be a little tricky. I have to keep my fingers off the lens and out of the way of the flash. Dropping it is a big no-no so I need to use the wrist-leash. The autofocus feature still trips me up and I can't seem to figure out how close is too close when taking portraits. Practice makes perfect.

Here are some of the shots I've taken.
