Ten minutes in a wet field with a broken camera
This morning I decided to wade through a field on my way home from work.
Every morning I drive by this field, it always looks different depending on what’s going on with the sky.
I know this one isn’t the sharpest… but I still like it.
This brings me to the broken camera part…
My camera just isn’t working, it gets a little frustrating.
Especially when I want to take pictures of something happening RIGHT NOW.
Well I suppose I will stumble along for awhile longer with what I have.
Occasionally it still does the trick.
I haven’t had much time to get out and take pictures.
So for now I will use my broken camera and settle for ten minutes in wet fields here and there.
Before next summer I might have enough money stashed to get exactly what I want.
When you want something do you have trouble waiting for it?

Wonderful pics. I love the birds. Sorry about your camera being broken. Fun to plan for a new one, though. I have trouble waiting until I find something else to distract myself with.
Still awesome photos!
Yes, once I start looking and comparing prices it’s kinda hard to wait.
I love the birdie photo. Sometimes your photographs give me goosebumps–they’re THAT good!
I think the pics are wonderful anyway.
as for waiting for things….**sigh** it is the story of my life
The pictures are great in spite of the camera…..I hate waiting for anything…I want it yesterday!
I love the b&w of the lone tree out in the field!!
And yes, I am not very patient waiting for things…
Broken or not, these are still beautiful shots.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! These pics are awesome tooooooo!!!
I love the pictures, and yes, I don’t like to wait on things. However, I am sort of slow about looking at all the specs.etc on things. My Nikon 80 “broke’ on a trip to California last Spring. I sent it in for repair because the warrenty was out. 200.00 for the repair, but it work’s great. I want a D90 but I’m still reading, collecting specs. on the camera.
Enjoyed your pictures and thank you for dropping in.
Have a wonderful weekend.

crap -I guess I need to drop my camera so I can take some wonderful photos like that.
do you think your batteries are wearing down?
I really love the second photo! Beautiful Fall colors!
I have a perfectly good camera that doesn’t take pictures like that. You’re an artist!!! If I had a job, I’d buy you a new camera but I don’t, so I won’t.
I like your photos Angi! They are always so good!
I think we all have trouble waiting sometimes, but I have learned that I don’t need what I cannot afford. It took me sometime to learn this lesson, but its a good one and it makes life alot easier!
Pretty good pics for a broken camera! What camera is it that you really, really, really want?
I love fall
Loved the pictures in all their stark, almost-winter beauty. I hardly get anything without a long wait, so it’s no problem for me to have delayed gratification.
Yup. I want it now! Those are some great pics of a really bleak landscape.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the 2nd photo!!
Cool photos! I think I did pretty well waiting for the latest Karen Kingsbury book that came out this week! LOL
The photos aren’t that vivid, but the artistic sense is there. I love the 2nd & 5th pictures.
I don’t have any debt – no car or home payments, no credit card balance – all because I live by the credo “I don’t need it if I can’t afford it.”
lovely pics, thanks for sharing!
hugs,
sage
I did until it was time to get it and then I waited!
Camera is broken? How are you taking the pictures?
Yes, I have trouble waiting, but sometimes, I don’t have a choice.
what’s wrong with the camera?
i wouldnt have known that your camera was broken. whats srong with it?
Seriously, what’s wrong with the camera? These pictures came out perfectly!
Somehow you manage to take great pictures. Wow.
I love the third pic. Your broken camera is genius. =P
Depends on what the oject of my want is…. i.e., if I want coffee, I get coffee. If I want a trip to Japan, I wait and prepare.
etc, etc.
Hi Angi, Your pic’s are very lovely. Like me, my 2 camera’s are broken. I feel like selling stuff on an online auction to raise the money to put towards a new one. But don’t know what to start with, baby clothes, books, the dog, my mere male…. (Opps did I say the dog?)
Wonderful pictures
They’re still good. =]
I lost my camera a couple of weeks ago when I was in Galway. I had my daughter and SIL tear their house apart looking for it and alas it’s gone. So I’ll take your broken one
I bet now your glad you have it…remember the old saying about no shoes? I love the tree!
Thanks for the recommend, the more people that see the video the better the chance is he’ll get caught.
I bought a camera a while back and I know nothing about ISO settings and the such, so I’m stuck with a camera that takes awesome pictures but I don’t know how to use. Good thing my boyfriend is a professional photographer so he sets it up for me.
love the pictures, even if you think they’re not sharp enough…i can’t tell.
Broke or not I am envious of your camera. My cheap Wal-Mart camera can’t take a picture of anything. It’s sad, really.
So, how have you been?
Hugs, Tricia
@mercyless1 - @WinsomeONE - The auto focus is broken… and the shutter delays… there is no manual over ride so I’m stuck… ahhhh well… I am so close to a new camera I can taste it… I’ll just hang in there… winter is slow picture taking time anyway… who wants to sit in a snow bank for a picture? Well, me… but I can pretend I’m sane for awhile.
some moody stuff you got here!
@angi1972 - Sorry to hear that. Xmas present?
You take good picture. I specially love the first one. It looks really good.
@iStephanieMarie - You get all of the fun of learning how though! Hope you enjoy it!
Those a gorgeous photos, especially the final one.
You are very talented!
I usually have trouble waiting up until the moment before I am about to get the thing I wanted, then I feel like, “Oh, already? I’m sure I could have waited a little more.” Heheh, I’m strange like that!
what incredible landscape pictures.
The stuff I want are usually the kind of thing most modest people avoid. But, I generally do.
Great pic.s I likez the fourth one.
I’m usually pretty good at waiting for things I want. But if it were my camera…I think I’d be running to the store to buy a new one!!!
