Nice capture.

Very nice; the colours are very smooth and pleasing. The color scheme is really working

Now I wish I have my camera back....this is so nice and delicate looking. I have a million hostas in my back garden...Sunflower doesn't bother them at all...nor do the sunflowers mind them at all...

Thanks John, Izzie, Judith and Nandakumar.

Where is your camera Izzie?

Ziggy, my camera's mirror locked up. I was doing a focusing stack when it happened. I brought it to the nearest camera store and they sent it to Nikon. The lady said 6-8 weeks before I get it back. Hopefully it will be back before we go to Alaska on September with some friends. I have my point and shoot but it is not the same. I am having a CWS (camera withdrawal syndrome.) I am missing my beast.

That sucks. Wow Alaska, nice. Are you doing a cruise, land trip are a combination of both?

I have been a long Nikon user since films and never had any problem at all apart from my ignorance of using it. Now I am using this camera extensively, never bumped it, been very careful, never lend it to anyone and it happened. I should have looked for a solution or ask CiC members but I opted to send it for repairs instead. Then when I got home, I found a solution…clean my contacts, both the camera and the lenses. I never had to do that before…and I have owned other Nikons longer than this one. Asking questions to CiC or any other forums might take a little bit of time whereas sending it back to Nikon for repairs at least I know I will be ahead.

As for Alaska or any other trips they are planning, my only request is for a short trip, no more than a week, less if possible. And it has to be well-spaced. We are off to Iowa next week to pick up another plane and bring it to Sacramento. I like trips like this, short sweet and money in our pockets. The Alaska one is a break ... hopefully not too long.

You have fun Izzie and boy do get around.

This image is so nice that I decided to take an approach to viewing it that is not at all my typical approach: I tried to find something I didn't like about it. I found nothing.

Thanks Mike, appreciated. Just starting to play with some new glass on one of the P&S.
