June Photography Challenge Discussion

And what an interesting one it is, very wide ranging too.

(I could enter the pig again....)

A funny aside (sort of). I decided to try and make up numbers on this little challenge, but not expecting much I figured I'd snap a few shots on my phone.

Then my visiting uncle says that his digital camera is broken.

As I know my computers would I try and fix it.

I look, look, wonder, ponder, drop it.

It starts working. Technical genius eh?

I hand it back to him. He says thanks, then gives me his spare one, as a thank you.

So in the week I decide to take part in a photo challenge I get given a digital camera.

Synchronicity. Just got to love it.
 
Does sound like fate!

Loving the ones so far. The dandelion seed is great, who knew they looked like that close up?!
 
I'm greatly impressed with some of the close ups, stunning and so well done.

I don't think my little old camera could cope with something like that. (Obviously it's new to me and there is no instruction manual) so a lot of when I take a photo is going to be trial end error...

I think I've taken the first one for the month, and as I nearly killed myself trying to take it, it would be a shame not to use it.

As an aside, this camera I was kindly given seems to have a sticky automatic lens cover. Sometimes it sticks and won't open. I've the suspicion that there might be something stick in there. Any ideas on how to clean it?
 
Compressed air might work, over here you can get them in cans with a tubey thing, so I am sure computer shops over there would sell them. If that doesn't work perhaps brushing it with a paint brush.

Out of curiosity what is the make of your camera?
 
Thanks Wyb and AE35 I shall see what I can find.

As to the make of the camera, well with my deep rooted and comprehensive understanding of all things photographic... No, not fooling anyone.

Knowing my uncle, it's probably a better cheap camera, but then I actually recognised the name of the maker, although not for cameras.

But it's a Panasonic Lumix

Ah my other camera is a Lumix!
 
It's lovely isn't it? It was at the Chelsea flower show, unfortunately my clematis died!
 
I think it couldn't cope with all the snow we had in winter. It was a really nice dark purple one too. Gutted when it didn't come back to life!

Lumix aren't a bad camera. They are the only one of what I sell at work that I actually recommend and they are the only ones that customers will actually come back and say "hey you know that camera you sold me, it works a treat"
 
I was looking at some of the pictures I took last night and was pleasantly surprised by some of them
 
Love the frog.

And Perp, that's a really good shot too, nice camera!! Did you clamber up that tree?!
