Cyberspace has been screwy for days. It's not a local problem, it's the distant source, apparently spread quite widely. Sometimes we can't download…
Today is mostly cloudy, muggy, and hot. We got more rain yesterday. It's very buggy out. :P I fed the birds. I've seen house finches and wrens.…

It sounds like that's something that just takes practice. The framing on my camera is hard because the parallax is really bad, so it's hard to adjust for that.
>>I'm hoping that I'll make another short film soon . . . but I always become hesitant because I don't have Final Cut, which I'm used to now. The software helps, but I just have to remind myself it's me who makes the film worth watching.<<
Tools and talent are two aspects of quality output. Even if you don't have the perfect tools right now, you can still practice and that will help your skills improve. It's pretty much where I'm at with my little camera too. Someday I'll get one that's got more room for me to grow into.

Yes, some are on this blog, under the "photography" tag:

There are others over on Gaiatribe, same tag:

After a few months of practice with this camera, I'm turning out some servicable snapshots, and a few that are actually good. I know the camera's undercutting my skill somewhat because I was better shooting a film camera.
>> And do you know what model does your partner has? <<
Not off the top of my head. But if I can't get decent photos out of that camera, I'll know it's my own fault, because my partner's pictures are excellent.

Yeah, I keep trying to do closeups with a camera that just is not designed for that kind of work. My butterfly meadow is all over caterpillars by now. I haven't spotted a chrysalis yet this year, but I keep hoping.

My partner's camera has not only a self-timer but a trigger cable and a tripod.
