Thank goodness for that New Year's resolution!


I got a digital SLR camera shortly before Christmas. I knew that if I was going to spend that much on a camera that I was going to need to learn how to really use it and also figure out a way to carry it with me often. I knew that I didn't want to miss out on opportunities to use this great camera just because I didn't have it with me. So for Christmas hubby bought me The Roma camera bag by Ona so that I could keep my camera in my purse.  
I saw this hot air balloon as we were leaving our neighborhood on the way to school this morning. I pulled over to take this picture. If I hadn't made the resolution to carry my camera with me everyday i would have missed it.
I took a few moments to get the shots of the red hot air balloon from the school parking lot after I had walked the kids into school. Yes, carrying my camera with me everywhere is a little like going back to the days of lugging around a diaper bag, but today's experience was such a great reminder of why it's probably the best photography tip I've learned.
