Hi

It would be interesting to know what problems you have had with the camera.

[Carol]

Its a good camera Bucky and I have had it 15 months, but recently I am having problems with the zoom.  Whenever I zoom into a subject and go to take a pic. it won't take a picture unless I switch off and then on again.  Its a bit of a pain really.  My husband thinks I have got some dirt into the camera because I carry it everywhere with me i.e. handbags, glove compartment etc.   Shoot away, its a good camera.

 :D :D :D :D :D

Thanks for the information.  We are still learning at the moment and shooting away.

stunning

[Bucky]

Perhaps you could help me now please with what to do next.  The heads of the lillies are starting to fall, I have tried to de-head them but not sure if that is the right thing to do.  Should I cut them back to grow again.  All advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

just dead-head then, and leave the foliage to put goodness into the bulbs for next year.

just lovely.  aren't you scared of the wind ?? i was actually surprised how far my tall ones would sway when it was windy.

i think i was over worried  8)

those colours looks lovely together.

Wind was a big problem.  They were growing great until May/ June when we had some really strong wind and blew them all to the right.  They still remained strong though which was a surprise.

carol, you prob have tried it but your not trying to take a non macro shot with the macro setting on are you? I have found this to stop me from taking some pics too (also trying to take a macro shot without setting it to macro)
