Had to try my new camera ...
 

I think I mentioned my wife and I each got a new Kodak EasyShare P850 camera (5 megapixel) for our meeting anniversary. Well, had to try it out and so I took a few pictures just in our yard. Flowers mainly although there's one of two of our cars.

In any case, now I'm glad I did. I came in and within half an hour we got real deluge of rain and some strong winds and some of the flowers lost their petals. :(

Oh well, I'll share a couple pictures. I reduced them down to 640X480 although the originals are about 4 times that size 2900 X something. Whew! Huge.




Now I can hardly wait to learn how to turn it on. JK :)

excellent pics DB.

love the happy little yellow flower pic

there is something about the yellow flower pic that looks like a painting to me...

Yeah, I love those yellow flowers too!

Beautiful!

we call them johnny jump ups...like tiny baby pansies

Pretty flowers DB :)

I liked the moldy rock. :mad:




























ROFL :D

very good pics! :) No question that the digital pic is here and GOOD! ;)

Nice pics, DB!

Thanks all. Just wanted to share my first fling with the shutter. ;)

Gorgeous! You should come to CA and take pics of all the lovely exotic flowers in our yard. No, I didn't plant them...but they are cool.

Your camera should have a macro setting, denoted by a flower.

If you select that setting, it will go to fixed focus. You move the camera closer and farther until the object is framed and in focus.

You can take a full frame photo of a dime, properly lit.

I think you're right. I saw something to that affect, just haven't tried it yet. I'll have to play some more with that. Thanks.

It's marvellous for insect on flower pics etc.
