The photo was taken on 29 March 2007, which is autumn for us here in Oz, so it wouldn't have been too hot at that time of year. :)

unfortunately no, he wont grow out of it, once a cribber, forever a cribber...as funny looking as that is, he can still eat and drink with it.

Hey, this is a really fascinating thread. Thank you, people.
The pics are fantastic. All that colour and detail ...
I used to think pics had to be of an interesting subject, but it looks like they can be interesting regardless of the subject.
Now I feel much better about the subjects being not necessarily ideal. It's just as much what one can do with them, isn't it.
I have one of those clunky type Fuji Finepix (think it's a model 5000, which is probably dated), but it takes a good pic. It's permanently set to 'auto', though. I'm never game enough to experiment with all of it's features. Except macro .. that's great.
Could I learn something useful for that camera here? Or is 'auto' going to be as good as it gets?
(don't you experts go getting too technical, though) :)

Hey Jess, those are beautiful pictures. I think I like your third landscape picture the best. By setting your aperture back to f/3.5 the image was a bit brighter (compared to the second image) even though a little depth of field was compromised. Maybe the next time you take a similar photo, you could try notching up the ISO to 600. Then you could use a narrower aperture, maintain depth of field and still have the image properly exposed. The use of your vivid color filter really gave the third picture nice color saturation, and as always you composed all the pictures beautifully.
Your horse picture is nice too. He's cute. I feel so sorry for him though. I wish he didn't have to have the bucket over his mouth. Poor baby. Is he a friendly horse in spite of his cribbing?
Kerry, I LOVE your sunset picture. The colors are brilliant! And I really like how the leaves framed the picture. You said this was on accident. Often times my favorite pictures have been by mistake. It looks like you have a beautiful view of Sydney from your balcony. Your camera did a very nice job of capturing all the various colors. I was reading some reviews of your camera, and they all said your particular camera does a very good job with color control. I hope you take some more pictures for us Kerry. It looks like you are very good at photo composition too, just like Jess! :)

Hi Rob!
I think I found a review of your camera! Is this the camera you own?
http://www.steves-digicams.com/2003_reviews/fuji_s5000.html
I like the styling. It looks similar to an SLR and it is totally packed with features too. If this is your camera then no, you are not stuck with auto. This camera has many features of some high end point and shoots on the market today. If you look through Steve's review, he will explain many of your camera's specifications. Please take some pictures and post them here so we can see them! :)
Edit: Rob, if you have any questions on how to use some of your camera's settings, I'll/We'll be happy to help you! Just post your question and we'll try to answer it as best we can! :)
