YESTERDAY'S SUNSET
OK, I've been sussed! One Eagle-Eyed or very astute reader has written to ask if I am using a new/another 'weapon of war' with the short answer being yes, although it is known to me as the 'New Toy'. A couple of days ago we took delivery of a new Canon SX50HS camera, more in hope of achieving some better results with the 'macro' function, although it is a fine all-rounder. Like all new things it will take a while getting used to it, but already finding that controls are easily and inadvertently changed as the ball of the right hand is drawn across them. Fact is I know it will never be 'fully' understood so will have to live with the little foibles!
So, today was given over to playing with the NT.
