Colours
Out my back window, yesterday evening:




This was taken a few minutes ago. Sorry it is out of focus. I only noticed when I downloaded the image, and by then the moment had passed. :(

1. Beautifuss
This is Crystal River in Florida. I turned it into the circus like ambiance that I think Florida exhibits all over the place.

5. Thanks Peggy
I'm glad you liked them.

I am finding the limitations of my camera now. It is capable of taking good pictures, but it is difficult to tell on its screen whether the picture is in good focus or not. Often they look okay but when I download the image to the computer, I find that actually it was not. The viewfinder on it is simply awful.

Maybe it is time to start thinking about a digital SLR. They still cost £500 and more, but at least you get proper control over the picture you are taking...

:hug: :loveya:

:hi:

6. Yes, digital SLR's are great!
That's what I have, and I love it...

It's the Nikon D50.....and it is a dream to use.

It will NOT let you take a picture if it's not in focus.

That can be annoying, but still........

Save your money!

If we get to visit you, I will have it with me, and then you can see for yourself!

:hug: :loveya: :hi:
