Technology is the future!

One of my resolutions for 2012 is to make better use of geekery - and I've started already! Gary gave me a snazzy camera for Christmas and is teaching me to use it (don't think he's fed up with taking pictures for my blog, do you?) This is my first ever attempt at a panoramic photograph.

'And this is connected to writing how?' I hear you wondering. Well, I'll be able to illustrate my blog more easily, but mostly it's a marvellous way to procrastinate - and we all know how important procrastination is to a writer.

Have you made any resolutions? 

Here's a chance to win a very geeky computer.

I like Old Kitty's answer!
You did a great job for your first panorama.

Maggie May said...

Gary is teaching you well. Still thinking about the resolutions.

Sarah Pearson said...

That's a great picture. The lessons are going well :-)

No resolutions here, I got fed up with setting myself up for failure ;-)

Patsy said...

Kitty, I hope you manage to stick to that!

Thanks, Alex. I had a great deal of help.

I've haven't made all my plans yet either, Maggie.

Sarah, I always pick a few easy ones as well as challenging goals so I have a good chance of achieving some of them.

Suzie F. said...

Beautiful pictures, Patsy! Still working on my resolutions.

Anne K. Albert said...

Same resolutions as always: write more, eat less, walk daily. Maybe this year I'll actually accomplish it!

Oscar said...

Nice panorama photo, but where?

Hilary Melton-Butcher said...

Hi Patsy .. great photo - looks like some fun procrastination! .. as Oscar said - where?

Lots of plans for 2012 .. slowly forward is the main thing ..

Cheers Hilary

Patsy said...

Thanks, Suzie. I'm still working on mine, too.

Anne, best of luck with your resolutions.

Thanks, Oscar. It's Portsmouth harbour taken from Haslar jetty.

Thanks, Hilary. I hope you move forward to lots of good things!

Brilliant picture, looks like Manhattan, (could be;) My resolution is that (write 1 sub 1.) Happy New Year.

You are very good for a beginner. Nay! You are very good.

Jessica Salyer said...

Beautiful picture. I try not to make any resolutions. I never end up keeping them anyway. Probably because I do love to procrastinate. :)

Lacey Devlin said...

Very impressive photo, Patsy! My camera exclaims at me in Japanese so I have no idea what error occurred. I'd be lucky if I managed to get a picture of one of the boats.

Diane Fordham said...

Well done on the pic Patsy. You never cease to amaze me, and make me smile. I started a 'goals' list for 2012 yesterday. I like goals, they give me a sense of direction. Hugs x

Patsy said...

Suzy, Portsmouth is sooo much more exciting than Manhattan!

Thanks, Petra. It's my teacher who's very good.

Jessica, I sometimes think writers only write because it makes their procrastination activities more fun.

Lacey, Gary exclaims at me quite a lot - not in Japanese though.

Diane, my resolutions are really goals, I think.

Frances Garrood said...

Very impressive photograph, Patsy!

Linda G. said...

Gorgeous! You realize we're going to expect all kinds of fantastic pictures from you now, don't you?

Happy 2012!

Suzanne Jones said...

That's a smashing photo, Patsy, well done.

Thank you for looking out for all these competitions.

All the best for 2012.

Patsy said...

Thanks, Frances. At the moment it's only Gary's teaching you should be impressed with.

Linda, you can expect anything you like!

Thanks, Suzanne.

Beautiful photograph!
As for resolutions, I'm with Anne K. Albert- Write more and eat less!
Good luck with your resolution, you seem to be off to a great start. :)

Colleen Chen said...

Great picture. As a jigsaw puzzle addict I'm thinking it would make a really nice puzzle.

Everything is connected to writing!

Patsy said...

Thanks, Rachel. Best of luck for your own resolutions.

Thanks, Colleen. I agree - everything we do does seem to connect to writing in some way.
