An update and some pictures

[azekeil]

Turns out I badly misjudged my ability to cope with the last few days mainly due to Christmas stresses. Anyway that seems to be mainly out of the way now. Did go for a wander with dylan and ev1ldonut and took some photos (ev1ldonut's ones, which are of course much better than mine and are here). My camera is still rubbish and fails to focus at the wide end, and can also confuse itself in some of the normal range too - this will be due to me 'dropping' it onto the road when my hand caught the strap and sent it flying. I've hardly used it for those reasons, and my general annoyance with it. I have been considering getting another one for some time but I haven't completely decided what I want just yet.

In the mean time, here are the ones that came out OK:

Candid shot of ev1ldonut


Posed shot of 'person' on bench


Greyness


Devil's Chimney and background


Diagonal (by popular request)

I'm back in work for today, vaguely hoping that we'll get a half day or something. No great loss if we don't though.

I really like the candid shot of me. :)

Hey Dude, where's the good shot you did, the one with the good diagonals?

If your camera is struggling to focus, try using aperture priority and the smallest aperture your camera has so that your depth of field is larger.

Ah, good point, thanks. I'll bear that in mind.

Oh I have it, I just wasn't as taken with it as you were, plus it was one of the ones that came out slightly out of focus. I'll give it a tidy-up and edit this post if I feel it came out OK..

Yeah, I was wondering what happened to that one too...
