The columns at The Vatican

So that is it for tonight but more tomorrow :)

[soundofmusichater]

great reminiscence thanx !!

[the*green*man]

This is about the only decent photo that was left on my Olympus. See how bad the focussing is?



Sorry about the sizing, photobucket's playing up now!:_|

[**mary-the-fairy**]

It isn't a bad photo Dave - it is very rural and tells a story of days gone by :)

[the*green*man]

Oh, it's the signal box at the Wansford end on the Nene Valley railway.:-)

[the*green*man]

It's weird how parts of the foreground are out of focus (as they should be) but parts of the background are too.:|

loved the The columns at The Vatican photograph!

[**mary-the-fairy**]

Thanks Merlin 🙂

I wont be posting any photos tonight as I have had a bad headache and had a sleep for a couple of hours and tonight I am going to the Boots evening so too busy today however I should be back to doing them tomorrow!!!

Dave - at this size I can't see the focusing problems so it is obviously something you can see at a larger size. I don't know why you would have in and out of focus areas both in the foreground and background and I hope someon on here with more expertise will be able to help :)

Mary, I am loving the photos they are lovely I really like the fountain one too

Hope your headache gets better



They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we shall remember them.

Thanks Stu 🙂

The fountain one was one of my favourites. BTW, I really like your sig - those words just say it all.

[the*green*man]

I know why Mary, Olympus and their weird lenses.:^O

[**mary-the-fairy**]

Yes, you have a point :^O

I had nothing but disappointment with mine and was so glad to be shot of it. :)

[the*green*man]

I must admit I was expecting better.


*Off to bash camera against something solid*


Destructive but strangely satisfying.:-)

[dangermooser]

Thx Mary

Dave - you could always tell the insurance company an elephant stood on it :|]:)

[the*green*man]

Nah, couldn't do that Mary, I'm far too honest.:-)

[the*green*man]

Now the bleddy thing has died altogether.X-(

[**mary-the-fairy**]

I have never cheated insurance companies - I am also far too honest. Hubby once made a house fall down and honestly told them how he had done it so didn't get a penny - we is honest people - :_|

Sorry it has now died - reckon you know what to put on the Christmas list to Santa :)

[the*green*man]

I'm not trusting santa.


Have my eye on a nice camera on Amazon.;-)

[**mary-the-fairy**]

Is that the Fuji S5800?

Certainly has good reviews and I know that I always got good results from both my Fujis. The last one I had was the S5000 which my daughter now uses and gets very good photos from. 🙂

Or have you now opted for the Canon?
