Title: Please don't laugh
Post by: Borlotti on July 04, 2009, 22:25:33
I am so excited, my first cauliflower, may not look too good to some, and a few peas and beans.  Someone gave me some cabbage plants and I ended up with a cauliflower (hurray).  Just had to try out my new camera and take a photo.  Also photo of my next door allotment that Margaret had to give up, no-one has taken it on yet (I wonder why???).  I would love it would be too much work for me, as I am a sad OAP ( :'( :'().

when you take a pic try to depress the shutter button just a wee bit and that will focus the camera and the just finish by pressing it all the way down and you should get much better pics ;)

Yes, that's the way my video camera works on stills (10mp). On the screen there is a white line rectangle which turns green when focussed. What a pity still camera's don't seem to have this.

I am not laughing, I am still waiting for the cauli to show its face.
Cabbage are doing well and I will keep them covered to keep the butterflies and bugs at bay.

Nice one Borlotti, as already said caulis are one of the  hardest things to grow, in my opinion.        ;D ;D ;D
