Flower Friday

Temperatures today set to top about 35 degrees here in Essex - it's hot already at 10am so operation find the shadiest spots in the house begins!! 

watched some videos on Youtube last night about the new camera and it made me give it a second try out this morning in the garden. Still struggling to get the focus and clarity right and I really don't think I have the patience to properly set up a photo haha! I've become too accustomed to quick snapping!  There's no question that this is a lovey piece of kit camera wise, and I'm sure the landscape images would be stunning but I think I have to admit defeat and go back to the drawing board and get a camera I'm more used to for now! But I did get this nice soft focus effect!
