It has settings for beach/bright light, all sorts of conditions. Then, there is the Kodak program that uploads and helps with more settings to get a good picture. <br /><br />Some days, I and my love of adjusting pictures through software is the problem. Instead of holding your hand or an umbrella for shade, wear a hat or lightly tape a bit of paper over the top of the camera to shade the lens. <br /><br />Of course, the umbrella or hand will work, but not for me if I want to hold the camera steady. <br /><br />Get your camera's book out and read to see what you can do...lol. Some days, I think I know what I am doing and have to resort to reading instructions...lol.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-44703469187136271162011-08-09T18:42:09.074+10:002011-08-09T18:42:09.074+10:00Thanks gullygunyah, I'm glad to be posting aga...Thanks gullygunyah, I'm glad to be posting again. :)<br /><br />I know pink seems to be the most common colour for pigface in these parts, but I think I've even seen it in blue or purple too. The orange colour simply jumped out at me several years ago, when I went looking for hardy groundcovers at the local nursery.<br /><br />They do a great job of covering sand dunes, and they especially help keep erosion down. :)Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-76119773459475807072011-08-09T18:33:08.942+10:002011-08-09T18:33:08.942+10:00I like the idea about the brolly Linda!

I'm hoping it spreads some more, helped along with my propogating.<br /><br />It strikes really easy when you put a cutting in the ground. :)Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-49366462423372442102011-08-09T07:09:15.504+10:002011-08-09T07:09:15.504+10:00I didn't know they came in colours other than ...I didn't know they came in colours other than pink. For me they remind me of our coastal dunes. <br />As for photography I am as bad as it gets. In fact I don't even know what you are talking about, the pictures look fine to me.<br />I'm glad you are posting again after your break.gullygunyahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08188145333933067606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-52668229204058826322011-08-08T22:06:44.686+10:002011-08-08T22:06:44.686+10:00I love that flower because it reminds me of the Mo...I love that flower because it reminds me of the Motherland! That would be California:) We had these growing on hillsides.<br />I have problems with photography in general. Its partly the camera but I try not to use the auto feature if I can help it. Do you have a landscape option? <br />Can you shade around your camera lens? Hold your hand over it, but make sure that your " shade" isn't in the photo. I keep trying to remember to take an umbrella out with me to experiment that way. <br />I'm not very helpful am I? <br />I hope that somebody else gives better advise!LindaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03624659670781181099noreply@blogger.com
