Home from camping. All three kids behaved admirably. Must say though that I am exhausted. It was 30 degrees C all weekend with hardly any wind or clouds. Was a great time but I am looking forward to say .... 16 hours of sleep. That should about do it. Well off to try and catch up on all the threads.

'S luvverly, innit? If I can't talk my brother into an EOS 500D (not out of bias, but because he suggested it but can't jump the gap into purchase), I'm thinking I'll try this little sweetie as a different tack. I think he might like the concept and aesthetics.

On another forum, someone suggested that if it's got built-in image stabilisation, they should call it the Pen-IS.

Cheers,
Marc (who a few months ago purchased and has since used an Oly Pen-S)

That's a nice keyboard you've got, Geoff. Does it write good poems?

I used similar techniques in the past to leave the subject of the photo the only remaining colored item but this time I thought that the color of the slide would make this photo pop. It was a real chore to take the color from each and every rock that Matthew dragged in there with him but in the end it was worth the effort.

This post is in response to some comments about my photo of late. I have another fun photo with my other son Andy in it that I shall use in the not to distant future.

Mike

it's a gorgeous photo ! i was wondering about it myself. thanks for the explanation. i can't wait to see the other one. you should create an album on your profile page.

it's a popular shape - part of the 'if it works don't fix it' argument ...
