Mum's new camera delight
Yesterday the light was awful, so I just played with the software. Had to download new Firmware, which was a new experience!
Anyway, these were taken in the garden during my lunch break 10 mins ago, and now here they are for your delectation.
The sky really is that grey, and the light really is that dull. But the colours seem very true. I didn't phaff with zooming in or anything, just bent down close to the flowers and snapped away.
These are my pretty little cyclamen, valiantly blooming
This is (astonishingly) an oriental poppy which stopped flowering a couple of months ago, died back, and has now resprouted and thrown out a single lushious bud and flower. It was so windy that it took 4 shots before I got one that wasn't blurred.
This is a wind action shot. These grass heads are marvelous, but it is really too windy to get anything useful.
Self seeded wall fern. I LOVE them.
And a brave little primrose flowering about 5 months early, bless it.
All those were closeups, so I decided to go for one distance shot to compare with the dreadful ones in the last blog. Still dull, but it is in focus, and the light really is like this. No pink tones or blue tones.
Looking forward to using it in sunlight, and on Cato and Tara - who, incidently, were offered a photoshoot in the garden but preferred to stay snuggled up in the warm, reclining on their beds. Little brats. I bet they will be whinging later, cos it is all so booooorrrrrriiiiiinnnnnngggggg!!!!!
So far, the camera is working out great.
