testing 1. 2. 3.



i've felt like things have been a little off with my magnificent new sony camera. i haven't been sure if it's been me, or if perhaps the camera is defective. in many of the photos i've taken with it, details have been a bit washed out. but i've also played with the white balance a bit, really the only manual function i dare to sometimes tweak.

the other day i took the lens off and put it back on. and then i did a little photo shoot in my front yard. suddenly the photos seem crisp and clear. might i have installed the lens incorrectly at first? is that even possible?

i will carry on, and hopefully i will discover it was me all along, not the camera. i hope to take a class someday, so that i can learn how to use the camera with manual settings. but for now, automatic should work just like it did yesterday. don't you think?




















and this, is a cat on the run!

hey, these are great shots, as usual, you have a great sense of timing which is almost everything when it comes to digital photography so whatever you're doing, keep doing it, the wrinkles (if any?) will work themselves out - look at loki go!

Fabb photos despite being a novice with the equipment, which says you have a natural eye for it, but also a great story-teller too! And oh my my my ... how fast Tashi is transforming into a young lady now
