I write to urge you to buy a unipod and use it often. You'll be
pleasantly surprised at the clearer definition.
Also a big help is a good hood in front of the camera lens, it cuts
out
the
extraneous unwanted light which destroys clarity.
There is no charge for this brilliant instruction. but if you must
insist, please send the usual 10% donations to
c/o, The Matron,
Yarlside Happy Farm......

Sorry! - I can here Matron's footsteps coming down the corridor
with my
red tablets.!.
Must go!.

OOOer that all sounds a bit technical for just little old me and my
garden, I am a bit of a point and shoot kinda girl but I am getting
better and I will remember your advice :-)
red tablets huh, just you wait till they put you onto the yellow ones,
off to fight the good fight with the weeds

cheers

Righty ho! kate, - just get a unipod then. It's a tripod without the
tri. i.e it hasn't got the three legs at the bottom. It's just two
metal tubes and you can adjust its height because one slides inside the
other to get the right height. On top is a small platform to carry the
camera. At the moment of shutter opening, the camera is steady, you
see, and then most of your masterpieces will please you.
Please ignore my rider at the end of my previous post ( above). Actually
the Matron was my wife some years ago and we looked after the
unfortunate brain damaged folk and they used to enjoy being with me
working in the garden. a very rewarding job, some came to us and joined
the workshop activities and soon they would be able to
manipulate nuts and bolts and so on, instead of cowering they soon
walked about proudly smoking their pipes, and my wife made nice dresses
for the girls for when we went to the beach for a romp and some
ice-cream or the girls to a party or everybody to a first night at a
local amateur stage show.
I am off-topic now so will cease this reminiscing!.
Good luck to you and yours, kate
Doug.
