As I said it is her first ever DSLR. I am not sure she fully understood ISO settings at the time anyway - she probably left it all up to the camera.
I know she is working on improving her knowledge. She is one of those lucky people who gets to go back to Africa every year or so, and she wants to be able to get better photos.

They used the K-7, so its not really your own work.
But maybe Jack to the photos at the Lodge ?

Interesting site Jack. I might send the link to my brother, who is a Brother .

HG - we considered something similar but haven't done anything about it. Since we still hope to move sometime in the not to distant future I am not going to invest in one for this house. Maybe for the next house.

Copper over the road has a similar system, and enough wood to keep him going for three years. He has shares in a small woodland which is grown for just that purpose.

Cold here today - just 13C , so I shall be lighting a fire tonight.

I'm still resisting putting the heating on. We have had a fire a couple of nights, but most nights we just pile on the warm clothes.
Got to pay for that K-5 somehow

Just watched New Tricks. I hadn't realised a new series started last week.
Never mind I'll be watching it from now on, safe in the knowledge that the one I missed will be repeated before too long.

Spooks starts at 9pm on Monday for those interested in it.

Never mind about the off topic, Gwyn, and you're right - a few more summery scenes to catch would have been soooo nice! I'll keep my fingers crossed for the/your K-5 (although I've heard it won't be available here till November ).

Thank you all for your nice comments!
That doesn't surprise me, We always seem last to get new models from Pentax.

Maybe I'll put a deposit down with SRS in the hope they get them on time .

Fiona, my advice is go to a good local florist where you can pick perfect blooms and take your time with lighting and backgrounds on the kitchen table which was exactly what I did here: link
I think this is the best idea initially. Plus you get to enjoy the flowers at home too.

As you make friends with your local florist you may be able to get some bargains from them. If you can go along at the end of the day you can probably buy blooms which are still perfect but which they won't be able to sell. Chat to them and see if that is a possibility.

Oh stop moaning about Summner, Autumn is on its way and think of the photographic opportunities

Nice pic though, great abstract background.
getting off topic here, sorry Lidy,
Autumn has arrived here. Yes lots of photographic opportunities in autumn I agree, but a few more in the summer would have been nice .

Now lets hope the K-5 really is available in October so I can take advantage of the autumn opportunities, before I hibernate.

There's not been much of a summer here in the Netherlands either, at least not in my bit of it.

Nice shot Lidy. I love the colours, and your choice of the back of the flower. Yes very nice.

Sound good, but won't be high on my shopping list at those prices .
