Too cute for words. Love the last two shots.............

You are so sweet Pers. Thank you and I appreciate you not commenting on my 'stupid' comment. :laugh:

Will give it a go............

Can you post an example so we can see where it went wrong and tell you the best settings for that subject. Water can be tricky because a lot of the pictures you see will be shot using a polariser and compensating for light. Sun out is generally the enemy of the photographer by the way, it creates too much contrast with the elements in the photo.

Slow internet just at present.........it's one of those days. Thx for you help though. :)

I would load a photo, but having trouble with the slow slow interent now. When it rains it pours

aahhhh :)

do you mean the card on which images are stored?

I have had mine for years

to post a photo.. using picasa ..just resize it to 600 or 800 , and about 80% quality ..loads much quicker/easier :)

I almost threw the laptop yesterday. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to move the blasted edited photos to a desktop folder. I looked and looked at what you messaged, but it won't do as it's told. :laugh: I surely can't be that stupid.....well.............

:laugh: I'm most probably using the wrong terminolodgy............lol and doesn't surprize me or you. :laugh:

Storage device is the word I think I should be using. Can't find it in the manual/guide book.

Mostly auto, and programed auto(which were experimental so kind of expected them to be dark).

The lighting was perfect, sun out, clear day. Light all around an open area.

I would load a photo, but having trouble with the slow slow interent now. When it rains it pours. :laugh:

Hi All

Have been out to one of my favourite waterfalls, taken over 400 photos. Come home downloaded and really disappointed in them.

They are grainy, the refections are over the top, just yuck. I've taken photo at this place before and did the same as last and not a problem.

I'm thinking, could my camera microchip be on the way out? How do you know when your microchip needs replacing?

Second question: I love those shots where everything in the large area photo is in focus. There is a bundle on my screensaver (Australian landscapes) where it's from a helicopter or skyscraper, I thought maybe slow shutter speed but that would give show the water or boats in perfect focus. How do they do this? Not that I'm planning on buzzing around in a helicopter anytime soon. :laugh:

Thx

Sharon :D

How cute....and Patchy is very cute.

I've been up three times to take sunrise shots. Every bl**dy time we've had huge cloud masses and they're boring :laugh: . I will get there.

Thx everyone for taking the time to give great advice. Fantastic photos. Everyone you can see the little differences you prefer.

kja, the shots with the dogs sitting, have you just used the flash on the camera, or added extra light?

Pers, the one with the tree, wow just gorgeous.

Nice shots, nice dogs...... :)

That would be great to see. Have always wanted to see a meteor shower.

Thx for sharing.... :D

Now I'll leave you all alone. :laugh:

Thought I'd add another. Not your usual photo, but I like it.

So much fun Tic. Easy to use and many options when you go deeper. Thanks, you've all turned me into a photographic computer monster. :laugh:

Turtles would have to be my favourite.........

Love sepia colours. Now come and teach me. :laugh:

Thank you Tic, time to play.... :laugh:

I agree Tic, something I'm constantly trying to rectify the problem. I know what's causing it, me. :laugh:

As for program, I just use my computer and have no idea how to fix the problem as I am computer illiterate. :

I have Windows 7, but when I go to crop (though paint) it won't let me use it. Any suggestions?????????

Thanks for taking the time, and it's really appreciated. :)

Thx Pers, that means a lot. :)

Hubby has been wonderful, took off to the national park after this, so lovely shots there also.

So you think they look ok?

I'm having trouble with too much light in other shots.

I've taken over 600 shots today in two totally different areas, so something had to work. :laugh:

And that was only the beginning of a beautiful day..........
