Colour co-ordination?

So lovely!

Fantastic colour on the wings.

I wish I could have caught a better photo. He almost the same colour as the sage, but irridescent!

I think that's a pretty good photo, Karen! I can never take good photos of insects - they always leave before I've caught them!

Got a new camera, Mel...but it's too good for me. The old "snapper" needed a little patience and stillness on a beastie shot...and a whole lot of happy snapping!

The new one...well...I get in close and the lens pokes them off their jobs!

Got to learn, lol! :)

That's a great shot ,Karen..you will soon get used to your new one..your OH will expect to see results,when he comes home Lol.

Great photo, KF.

Thanks Bloomer and Feverfew! :)

I'm trying, Bloomer...but, the instructions are all in French...it's no easy, lol
And, don't tell him...but, my old "snapper" is better at close-ups... ;)

The biggest problem I have with my little Kodak is that it is so slow - it takes ages to "recover" from one shot to the next. But I'm not ready to upgrade just yet, and it's good for general purpose. My younger son and s-i-l are accomplished photographers with rather posh cameras! It took me four years to find out I could make short videos with mine!

Lol, Mel! I think this new one does videos too...but, that's a bridge too far!

The macro setting on my little Lumix is brilliant, but same problem, too slow...so I've upgraded (or should I say "out-graded) myself to a DSLR and am now completely out of my depth. Just as well that it has a "guide" setting...which makes suggestions to the technologically challenged, such as myself...

The camera is cleverer than I am! lol! :))

An "outgrade" sounds just like what I might be tempted to try, lol!!!

Well, if you do Mel...

I'm tempted to recommend my new Nikon D3200. It really does think for you and takes brilliant photos on auto!

But, it's a DSLR...

...it can can do wonderful things...

...if only I knew how!!!! lol!

Mmmm.... I think I might leave it for now!

I don't blame you... ;)

Hi Karen .. pretty pic :o)

Hi Terra...and thanks! :)
(I could have done a better job if I only knew how to work the blessed thing...)
