You may know that I just got my canon 450d, this past June. Before that, I had a kodak point and shoot. The lovely thing had a little hand that was green, yellow or red, depending on how clear my shot was. Oh, how I miss that feature!!<br /><br />I'm going nuts in the evening with the breeze coming off the hill, trying to take photos in the beautiful evening light (not tooooo fast of a shutter speed) while everything (including me) is swaying. My tripod is a whole other story which I am SURE that I will share about soon. Needless to say, I am struggling with blurry. But, then, I was trying to take a photo of a spider inside - with my tripod - and, when I tried to crop and zoom in - hardly any of them were clear! Why, oh, why? I know, though, that, sometimes, Canon has trouble with their lenses. I just wonder and wonder.....<br /><br />On my serious wishlist (I am campaigning!) is a Canon 15-85mm zoom. I wish that I had someone to advise me.<br /><br />Justine, I am soooo glad that you're signed up for the 365! May I come alongside and learn with you a little? I need a buddy!<br /><br />Love, Katy NoelleKaty Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972227249393814417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437693039047730106.post-32947066526525157442010-08-27T19:29:41.465+01:002010-08-27T19:29:41.465+01:00lovely! saw your blog link on your flickr profile....lovely! saw your blog link on your flickr profile. thanks for the comment on my leaf!Shining Windowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01963641750301433350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437693039047730106.post-25439422819706690112010-08-27T12:03:09.785+01:002010-08-27T12:03:09.785+01:00I think the photos turned out very well.

You won't get the clarity of a f/1.8 or f/1.4 (I don't know what you were working with). I find that on my Tamron 28-75 mm, that I really need to be at an f/3.2 to get a really clear shot so you may try dialing it up a little bit. I hope that helps.Ashley Siskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964259733610203026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437693039047730106.post-33675932484949856622010-08-26T15:02:21.498+01:002010-08-26T15:02:21.498+01:00these are beautiful shots!!these are beautiful shots!!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01647444568845996166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437693039047730106.post-20442667297720533022010-08-26T15:00:58.828+01:002010-08-26T15:00:58.828+01:00Excellent!!!
