British Expat Forum

It was a fabulous day yesterday. We seldom get such warm days this late in October in Regina. I went walking at lunchtime with a friend and took some photos of Wascana Lake and the Legislative Building.



Spainboy told me ages ago how to post a thumbnail that you could click on to get the larger photo - I wonder if I remembered it correctly - if I did - you should be able to click on the photo to get to the bigger one.

Hey - it works!

It looks great, Liz. That's a definite candidate for a POTW.

That's a lovely photo Liz. When does the snow start?

Lovely Photo Liz. Definite candidate for POTW.

Alan.

You can hear the stillness. Definitely POTW material. Well done, Liz.

Lovely photo Liz - the day looked perfect, so still and calm.

Here is another one of the lake.

And yes, we are going to get snow pretty soon, but I can always close the blinds and have one of these photos as my desktop and pretend its still like this!!

Nice photo as well Liz. One suggestion though - straighten that horizon! Skewed horizons create a lot of unwanted tenstion in a photo.

Alan..

Nice photo - beautiful colours.



This is a mistake I often make too. Thank goodness for the rotate function.

All of my cameras have the ability to superimpose a grid in the viewfinder. I use these both to keep lines straight and to keep an eye on the "golden thirds".

Alan.

Thanks for the info - I'm off to get the manual for mine and see if it offers that function too. I've still never learned to use it properly which is a bit embarrassing, but there always seems to be so many other things to do.

When we're back in Thailand we're planning a photo expedition to the River Kwai, so I'll maybe learn something on that trip.

Great photos, Liz!

Same from me! Wow, they're really beautiful and full of atmosphere. Well done.

The only trouble with every digital camera that I have used is that when its really sunny - you can't see the screen. Looking through the viewfinder doesn't really work so well so most of the time I just point the camera at something and press the button and fix it afterwards!

Do you know! I'm glad you've just said that (not that I take pleasure in your inability to see, of course! ) My eyesight has worsened over the last couple of years and since I bought an e-cam recorder two summers ago, I found I have the same trouble. The screen viewer is enormous but most of the time I can't see what I'm supposed to be filming so just do the same, point the damn thing in the right general direction and hope for the best. I thought it was just me!

Mind you, if what I film came out as well as your photos, I wouldn't mind so much. 8)
