Though I've had my little TZ7 for some time, I've not explored all it's options. Photography sometimes seems a dark art :)<br /><br />I've only just discovered it has a built in slide show with music.<br /><br />Too right it's cold. My little weather wireless station seems stuck at minus 0.6 all day. I asked our postie, in short sleeves, if he'd like to step in for a minute "Naw, s'ok" he said, pulling a flask from his bag :)Wheeliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798837094383674273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083684017954117107.post-82685014584686918662012-12-02T14:18:56.965+00:002012-12-02T14:18:56.965+00:00Hi Weaver - the moon is an incredible sight when j...Hi Weaver - the moon is an incredible sight when just rising over the horizon or when just about to fall below it, particularly at this tuime of year when the atmosphere is clearer. I am indeed well on the road to recovery, many thanks.<br />xx<br /><br />Hi Paula<br />I found them visually very stunning and indeed very natural, but yes, there is always room for more!<br />XX<br /><br />Hi Helena<br />Yes it is hassle in many respects but there are rewards too. My business partner and I do healing for HER (Hull and East Riding) BreastFriends a breast cancer support charity on a voluntary basis and they had a free spot at the fair this year. A great charity doing brilliant work.<br />XX<br /><br />Hi Wheelie<br />You are absolutely right - I should listen to my own advice sometimes eh? Do you have a little e-zoom button on the back of your panasonic? this will electronically increase the magnification by 30X which is what I used for that shot but you do lose much in the way of detail.<br />XX<br /><br />Rarelesserspottedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865928245970626612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083684017954117107.post-22206784424198593122012-12-01T13:29:21.689+00:002012-12-01T13:29:21.689+00:00Now then RLS, if I may take the liberty, that'...Now then RLS, if I may take the liberty, that'll teach you to pace yourself, hmmm? :) Be good to yourself friend. Please.<br /><br />I love that moon shot. I wish the moon pics I take with my little Panasonic DMC-TZ7 came out like that. I just get a moonish dot!<br /><br /> Wheeliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798837094383674273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083684017954117107.post-10417598471241398922012-11-29T21:54:48.393+00:002012-11-29T21:54:48.393+00:00Organising is a ruddy great hassle but the end res...Organising is a ruddy great hassle but the end results are often worth it. It all looked exciting anyhow! I have plans for a Breast Cancer Awareness charity gig in February, with local bands offering to perform. So it'll be fingers and everything else that's willing, crossed that things will go right!<br /><br />I'm glad to hear that plans will be finalised by Xmas - you deserve that big sigh of relief!<br /><br /><br /><br />Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447013188405986054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083684017954117107.post-38378358555836341492012-11-29T21:05:44.554+00:002012-11-29T21:05:44.554+00:00I'm sorry to hear you havn't been well.
