Hi Florence,

It took me two days to figure out the Photobucket uploading and Image Posting thing, so I'm quite thrilled that it actually worked LOL

Thanks so much for your kind comments!

The close-ups of the rose are absolutely gorgeous. I'm glad to say I have this rose, and it would be wonderful if mine bloomed like yours when it gets older and has recovered from being transplanted. Thumper, of course, is in a class by himself. I do think that cats and roses go together so well. Ingrid

Your clematis photos looks great. Gotta love those Canons. Mine served me well for many years. Someday, I'll get another one. Randy

WC, The Nikon D3200 is a new introduction from Nikon that you should consider. At $699 it includes a respected 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR NIKKOR Zoom Lens. The VR stands for "vibration reduction", which is a Nikon term for image stabilization. You didn't mention your price range, but this camera offers more "bang for the buck" than any camera out there. I plan to purchase it, and a macro lens and a telephoto lens as well. Read the user reviews on Amazon for second opinions. ZM (not associated with any product or vendor mentioned or linked)

One work-around I've found for that, Marlorena, is to back up and take the shot from a further distance. The camera will likely get all items in focus, doing that. Then you can take advantage of the great resolution the camera has by cropping and enlarging that portion of the photo, so it is like a close-up. Another trick is to experiment with the plane of the shot. By slightly depressing the shutter button, the camera will show you which areas are in focus in the field of view by surrounding those with green rectangles. If you tilt the camera slightly or shift it to a slightly different view, you will often find you can bring more of a view into focus by doing that kind of adjustment.

Hi Valerie,

Thanks so much, and yes, I'm sure you're right about Empress Josephine. Oh, and it shouldn't be too long before you're sniffing Tamora in person. Happy Canada Day to you too!

Missflippins, thank you. I'm looking forward to taking more shots very soon; lots of buds out there ready to burst into bloom.

Wonderfully captured pink hue on your Sharifa Asma! Tamora is one of my favorites, too... love the color and how it 'glows' from within.

Wonderful photos, so fresh and clear. Congratulations on your camera and posting. Once you get it down, it's easy. I couldn't do it if it weren't. Which camera did you buy?

Thanks so much, all of you. And Carol and Niecey, a belated Happy Canada Day to you both!
I am having a lot of fun with this camera; I actually had nothing to do with how any of the photos turned out - I just pressed the button, sometimes holding it down, and sometimes not. I was lucky, they just turned out well! So, Iris gal, the crocus rose shot was an accident, but a very pretty one.
Carla, my dear sister-in-law bought a new (very expensive) camera, and kindly gave me her old one, a Kodak DX 4330. I am thrilled with the photos it takes, and it seems very simple to use (which is VERY important for me). Since there is no instruction book, I have to check out some of the Kodak Tutorials to get the most out of it.
Mark, I also LOVE Tamora's blooms, but I have to say, I'm am not crazy about the fragrance, so I just don't get too close LOL
Jean, we'd love to see pictures of your Evelyn too - she sure is a beauty.

The Kodak point and shoot with the big zoom lens
captures excellent photos.
One of my classmates had one and her pics always turned out great.
Judith my photo instructor always use this phase in the classroom.
"Its not the camera its the person behind it."
I still think it helps to have a good camera
Have fun with your new camera, and keep the pics coming.
