May 2006 Photo Competition DISCUSSION thread

Hi jjordie,
I use a Nikon Coolpix 7900 for all my flower photos. It is brilliant for close ups and you can get to within an inch or so from your subject. Best thing is to look at the handbook and then practise, practise, practise - after all it doesn't cost anything as you have no film to waste.

 

Hi Hornbeam
I get the picture (pardon the pun :D )
it's a case of practising a lot - which I will try to do.

Read the handbook? well, a lot of it seems a bit complicated and then suddenly I realise what it means. :rolleyes:

I will keep trying.............

Loved the fungi Marge. Could almost smell them

 

Thanks Dave - I took that at the Otter sanctuary in the New Forest

 

Hornbeam I have just logged on to poemspictures.blogspot.com/ and I am absolutely thrilled such that I shall cut copy and paste some of them....thankyou.

 

My pleasure - glad you enjoyed them and please let me know of any other gardening type poems.

 

Nice poppies Petal, but surely not in May? Not this May anyway - unless they are Arctic poppies

:confused: Sorry, Paladin - I'm not with you, what are you referring too? :confused:

 

I was hanging on by my finger tips to the cliff face when I took the pic..you should have heard Mrs Pal shouting at me to get down incase I fell...I had the car keys in my pocket :D

 

:D Mrs DAG said "That was my favourite pic. and anyway isn't it suppose to be wild and wonderful?" :D :D

 

Editing :confused: Maybe one day I'll have a try :D

 

Ditto.
Keep breaking the rules Paladin. I know you probably do it all the time
