Very lovely Marilynne

Marilynne · Jan 25, 2015

Thanks Ron. It was really windy, so hopefully, I'll do better on a calmer day.

Wind is a constant hazard when shooting flowers, even the slightest breeze can upset your shot. Just as with birds you have to boost your shutter speed to try and overcome.

Tough to do with a point and shoot (Coolpix S3100). Plan to try again with the D7100.

Good grief, Marilynne. You do not go bear hunting with a .22

It was drizzly and overall yucky yesterday and I didn't want to be without a camera, so I grabbed the Coolpix. It does take a decent shot.

Well, you did well anyway. It is always a question to take our best cameras out in weather. I keep my camera in my little lunch bag and only take it out when I want to shoot but that is limiting.

Thanks Ron. We were on our bicycles and I didn't want to bring anything that I would get upset if it got wet. Went back today with the D7100 and the Tamzooka. I'll post some of those tomorrow.
