@Deezey I do not recall you asking me for input on a new camera. I am green with envy (even though I love my D5100)

and also for the day my flat mate's eye using my 35mm f1.8 She has very nice eyes just as well as she has other nice parts too! Just saying

Day 30 Today's fare is seed pods hanging around just waiting to be dropped and start doing their thing. And while I was at it I decided to play with that program (Premium Effects 8) again and came up with this which is just one of hundreds of options.

I was playing around with Perfect Effects 8 that @Michael drew our attention to while it was available for free. This is my "shoe" shot which previously had errors in the corner. One click and the problems are gone. Quite a neat tool and it seems to get better and better.

@Whiskeyman thank you very much. Funny how we go looking for photos and some times they are right there in front of us.

I think Scott is correct. This is the adult.

Entry #2 Hey Ma whats for dinner? I posted this somewhere else and then immediately thought that it does tell a story.

Saw this cute little guy on this lily pad. A long way off in the safety of the lily pads and reeds. There were 4 little chicks that I saw and they wouldn't venture too far as mom was very strict on them. I had to crop a lot so excuse the focus - just look and say "Awwww…. how cute!"

Day 29 Lots to choose from today but most can go in other threads so I chose this leaf caught in a water trap.

Day 28 The golden nectar - debatable of course!

The afternoon walk took me along the banks of the Mighty Waikato - as it is affectionately known in these parts.

Day 27 Turned out to be a shoe day although I have posted a few pics to the flower thread too and will go out later for an afternoon stroll to take some more. But for now here are some shoes - I can't decide which ones I like best. Except for the last one the only changes were crops and of...

Me too and you are right about the landscape mode. gotta love photography and the ability to cheat! ;) As @RON says

Good morning Michael and all other Nikonite flower posters. This is the same photo rotated. 1. Which looks best? 2. Which is the correct way around.

Day 26

I was considering buying a tripod (2nd hand as funds permit) and was looking at the manfrotto range for speed and ease. Most are out of my league. So my parsimonious brain got to work and I removed the old fashioned head from my Velbon and figure it will take a manfrotto head. Progress YAY...

Day 25 Awesome day because my camera seems to be functioning just fine. Although I still want to have it checked out to be certain. It was a beautiful sunny day here and I decided I wanted to do two things: 1. Use my 35mm prime 2. Do a panorama - my first ever so it was all uncharted territory...

Day 24 The day my camera bust on me - luckily I took this moon shot this morning. While I was having my coffee ….
