crazyscot kindly passed a superfluous film SLR camera on to me. The last time I did any photography I was about 12 and using a 35mm point-and-shoot camera: I'm still a very long way from sure about what everything does (yes, I have RTFM, thanks :-p) and, of course, I don't get instant feedback on what I'm doing...

I'm well aware I've got a lot to learn but concrit is welcome.

[Three bulbs of garlic, on sprouting, in the light streaming through a leaded window.]


[An artichoke gone to flower, with a bee crawling around behind it.]

[A single red tomato in a cluster of green tomatoes is in focus; more tomato vines are visible but blurred in the background.]

Hmm, that's interesting - my mother felt the glass thing was fine but the cheese/butter was a disaster! (I'm quite pleased with how much love that photo is getting, given that I was juggling walking stick and backpack while taking it, and trying to be relatively quick about it all on top of that...)

I didn't edit out the smudge because I (a) didn't notice it and (b) don't really know how - currently my image-editing skillz, such as they are, are pretty much limited to tweaking colour curves (which I did only to the tomatoes, of this set). But I shall investigate. :-)

Thanks for the comments!
