Noticed these on my way through the garden when I came home from work today.

I think they have a beauty, a serenity, all of their own.

Any thoughts you may have will be appreciated.

P.S., Alan.

I disassemble my K7, remove the flash unit, gaffer-tape it to a long stick... et voila!

(Sorry, I lied... still under the influence of Karma Mechanic & his IR activities!)

Roger.

Thanks, Alan.
Pleased you like no.2, & good to have criticism of 1 & 3.
Much more helpful than "good compo", "I like it", etc., etc........

Roger.

Please let me have any comments, criticisms, advice you may have on these three images.

As ever, your assistance in improving is appreciated.
Thanks,
Roger.

In turn, a privilege to be shown your images.

Thank you, Tim, for letting us see.


Roger.

Thanks for all the advice, everyone.
I think it's going to be the Canon MG 6150. Pretty well the equivalent of the MP600, but with duplex printing & wireless too!

Thanks again,

Roger.

The problem with my mp600 is a mechanical one.
The error no. denoted a broken drive belt (to bring the cartridges across for changing, I think).

The Man In The Shop says the belt has just come off, but the wheel it has come off of is broken & a replacement will be a "big job" versus a new printer. (I trust the man in the shop, a local, independent seller of all things printers, who does a v. good re-fill of "Canon" inks which I've used for years).

I do need a printer/copier/scanner.

Coker.

Thanks, Stefan. Continung to search.....
Anyone know anything of Canon MG 6150?

Looks to have what I need & to be a suitable replacement for my (late) mp600.

Thanks,

Coker.

My Canon MP 600 printer (/scanner/copier) has just given up the ghost, bows head in respect.......

What to buy as a replacement, on a budget?
I was always pleased with the mp600, so it's Canon for me. (Sorry about the bad language, but it's only a printer....).

Any advice, tips, knowledge you can impart, given the parameters, will be most gratefully received.

Thanks,

Coker.
