this one...well not so much one arm problem as i didn't think b-4 i take shot. i should change exposition time. compo sucks too. sigh i in pain most of day. i not concentrate to make good pics. i need focus more. itchy from cast makes me NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) maybe i do better tomorrow??????

oops here is 2nd one

Oh you are doing fine, just takes some practice. I shoot with one hand a bit. Most of those really close shots end up with me needing to hold a leaf away or something. It can get tough,but it can be done. I know what you mean, need to take pics, always have to,just something you got to do. You can do it easy,remember you can focus at 3/4 of an inch. Wow a 1gb one,thats so cool, I just got two 512mb,lol. I mean it took me months to figure out how I liked the flash to work. Just a bunch of trial and error. So keep it up, and try to focus on it and not the itchy itch.

Both these photos are very nice. I think they are excellent and in focus and perfect. I love the neon, it is most cool...and the glasses are most cool. I like the b/w there. Contrats on your new big 1 Gig card. That's quite a bit of space...amazing how they do that now-a-days. I am sorry to hear you broke your elbow. I hope it gets better soon. ;-) -Peace -Jeff(coolj001) :-)

thanks so much guys for support and encouraging words. tonight when i get home from work, i ask kemal to help me get tripod set up outside. he be off work. i can't adjust tripod height by self. i try night shots. thanks guys for nice words. i hate these pics. i needed to concentrate hard. i didn;t. i need focus on photography & not itchy itch & pain like william said.

Sounds really tough. I can't imagine right now, with as much as I shoot, how I'd take not being able to. Maybe you can use this time to learn and brush up on your photography knowledge? Get a few books and study some technique or form you've always wanted to. :( -=>Donald

We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

Have a Budweiser, then another....then get a 6 Pack of Budweiser ....then the itch will be bearable. Does Your new Camera have a Remote Control? scratch scratch ..... Over?

brian, we have remote for old cam. dunno if it works on new. i check later. i see beer in fridge. i can't drink bcuz medicine i take. plus i need stay away from suds. donald. yes, good idea. u right. i just realized how nuch i NEED to make pics (non-crappy ones!!!) :) i make pics to express my feelings. it's outlet. self-expression thru art is something i do whole life. photography my way for 2 yrs now. i NEED make pics!!!!!!!!!!! i need creative outlet. i will go outside with kemal in bit. i be cold. can't wear coat. i MUST express self with pics. i goin' nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i swear i will stay outside until i so frozen i can't move. until i take that pic that says what i need say!!!!!!!! i WILL do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! onslow...matchsticks...i may need do that!!!!!!!

Matchsticks always help...keep a stiff upper Lip and no wimpering! Now...gee ..."Remote Control"....is easy to use with one Hand, if You get this Camera set on a Tripod, perhaps We can see if the Remote Control can help....it is use with just one Hand....*salute* ...ha ha....You look funny when You *salute*....Carry on Cook :]

We both can't drink, and we are both born on the same day. Interesting. Have fun with the tripod. I broke mine, but may get another one someday. Again...good shots. -Peace :-)

Well then the remote should work. I know the one I got for mine has a video button,as well as zoom for it. I think that all the ones for their cameras work for each one. So yeah, most likely will work if it plugs in then should work fine.

HC, i try not to wimper. lip...stiff. at least i still your cook HC. restaurant not want one-hand cook. i glad YOU not demote me!!! and your eye make me smile! jeff...yes interesting. i bet we are much alike!!! william, thanks!!! i will check out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hugz!!!!!

really like the neon bud lobster! :] give me neon lights!!
