I've taken a heap of photos over the last couple of days and I'm really disappointed at the number which didn't turn out. They look perfectly focused when I look through the viewfinder but when I see them large on the computer they're all over the shop. I think it's my eyes. I've had reading specs for a while now. Now I think I need focusing specs as well. :(
And now I've played enough today - it's time to go do something about the mountains of books surrounding me.
Later gators....

Glad you got that day off! Now . . . mush!!!!
okay, i'm looking at flickr now. I'm not sure it is your eyes. I'm thinking it is camera settings. I googled your camera. It's actually a DSLR, isn't it?
Julie, that happens to me too. I can take over a fifty photos of something and maybe I get two or three good ones.
Looks like you had a good day off. :)
Yes, DSLR. Canon 400D. Sometimes I think it's just too complicated for me.
no, it's NOT too complicated for you! There's a lot to those babies, but you can work it out . . . my old film camera was SLR, and I got so I knew what I was doing with it.
Yes mum.
I'll work it out eventually - reading the manual helps a bit but only when I've got camera in hand as well. And when I'm out snapping I forget to have a look at what it says.
I usually can only remember like one pointer at a time and after I think I have that going well, I can do another.
You're doing good Julie. ;)
One at a time is probably a good idea. I think, sometimes, I try to do too much all at once.
Actually, Shirl, I used to have far more success with my old slr film camera. But my eyes were better then too! ;)
**chuckle**
my most recent digital camera gave me fits when I started. I tended to do too much point and shoot. It makes you point, focus and shoot. When I FINALLY read the directions, things became clearer.
Oh these cameras. We love them and we hate them!
Does it have an auto setting option?
The reason I ask is cause I am using that a lot more than manual and would like an slr, but it does sound like a lot more to it.
yes it does and I use it most of the time. Lots easier! :)
