    Some of my snaps today.

    A beautiful Ladybird on my emerging tree peony.

    These are cropped and framed. No other enhancements were used. Patience is a must in photography, have you ever waited for a Lady to get ready :rolleyes: :D

    Hi Woo, it is just a compact digital. One nice feature is the portrait setting which Micro focuses on the middle of the frame. I think this is why the edges become subtly blurred. My top tip is to rest your camera on something, even if it is in your hand. I used the rim of the pot to steady my cupped hand as I pressed shoot with my other hand. I really need a tripod as photography is fantastic fun. Infact I would like a snazzier camera if father christmas is listening :D

    This is the original photo of the 4rd photo.

    Cropping gets you into the main subject and then I always frame it with a plain border to stop the picture from 'leaking'. I find the imgage easier to look at if it has defined borders.

    I'm a Lady who can get ready pretty quick if need be, but then, there's not a lot to do! [​IMG]

    Fantastic pics, Babe, maybe someday I'll catch up to you! :love;
