I spotted a hyacinth coming up by the front steps today when I got the mail... it's just pierced the ground, but one more bulb up!Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-24369592549822344992009-03-24T23:01:00.000-05:002009-03-24T23:01:00.000-05:00These are wonderful photos!

My daughter bought some kind of policy with hers that fixes it when it gets broken ect.

The photos that I took of birds lately have been with this camera on a tripod. <BR/><BR/>I took movies with it on Saturday night when my husband and friends were playing bluegrass music and singing. Great movies with great sound quality.<BR/><BR/>For our son's white coat ceremony in pharmacy school yesterday, I used the sports setting and took continuous sequences of photos. Amazing, even cranking the zoom out since we were in the balcony.<BR/><BR/>CameronF Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558874651743241988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-51020180839321828072009-03-23T16:19:00.000-05:002009-03-23T16:19:00.000-05:00Oh goodness, I'd be lost without mine for sure.

I am much more comfortable photographing than writing which you've most likely been able to tell from my blog! I am incredibly impressed with the photos you are featuring tho ~ if these are from your Mr. I's camera ~ I think they're pretty darn good too. At least you have a back-up right?? Two weeks was hardly time to learn the intricacies of a new camera so I hope it's fixed soon too.

I am now using my old camera that is very similar but it has been dropped, I quit counting, how many times but keeps working. Although it doesn't work as good as it should which is why I bought a new one. I can't imagine using my DB's camera. It is big and I don't like the way it feels either. It is all what you get used to using. I hope your camera is repaired soon.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-91390070128604002662009-03-23T12:39:00.000-05:002009-03-23T12:39:00.000-05:00I've just discovered the joys of taking pictures o...I've just discovered the joys of taking pictures of plants - so I can feel your pain.
