I've done it!
Bought a DSLR.
Gosh - what a lot to learn - and re-learn ... I'm glad I got it well in advance of our cruise. My main problem is shaky hands so I'm having to use fast speeds. In the rain and dull light this afternoon I got this, which isn't bad but other flowers really aren't good at all. Still, I'll persevere! I'll never be a Pat or Marutchi because I haven't long enough left but hey - it's fun! Mary |

"Joan F (MI)" wrote in message ... Next get a tripod. I have one but was trying first without it. When I used the pod I found that it wobbled too so I took it apart until I couldn't remove any other parts and found the wobbly bit which I couldn't access. When all else fails ask Spouse :-) He said he couldn't do anything with it. I said he'd better. He did :-) It's now like a rock. He's gone out now for a remote shutter switch, my mechanical cable shutter release doesn't work with the DSLR of course! I'm going to have to check all my mechanical equipment to see what will work and what won't :-( The shaky hands aren't recent but they're not as bad as they were before the brain surgery. My (professional) photographer boss would get impatient with me and say I wasn't concentrating, he felt bad and was very apologetic when we discovered I had a tumour :-) Now the memory isn't as good either, probably more to do with age than anything else. Hours have been spent reading the 'manual' and I understand everything as I read and practise. In a short time it's gone! Mary |

Good for you! And best wishes for the future. -- wolf k. |
