doug Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Just working up another page on my website. Haven't updated the link in the URL yet as I've just found a workaround to tidy up the files. Anyway, here's the link to the page in question.Figures in Botanical Gardens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Yes they were fascinating to look at. These were taken with my new camera, having lost the first one after 10 days ~150 pics lost. It wasn't until I was out taking some pictures the day after I had bought the new camera I realised I was missing something. It didn't have a viewfinder that my old camera had, mind it did have a very larger viewing screen. This has two drawbacks:- first it's difficult to see what you're shooting in bright sunlight and with the viewfinder unconsciously you are steadying the camera with your head. At my age with shaking extremities some of the shots I took were blurred. This was especially so at night when longer exposures were being used. Finished up trying to find lampposts to lean against.

andsome Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Like 'em Doug. I am sure that I have also seen that ball or something similar before. A garden somewhere in Staffordshire comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
