The next step is buying a camera with interchangable lens / SLR but for now this generally does the job. It is hard to take macro shots / really up close but otherwise does a decent job.monique's messhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14968784703510272928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151936361024266820.post-13612991975269317212015-05-01T05:08:00.337+09:302015-05-01T05:08:00.337+09:30I mean in the sense of "your work dwarfes min...I mean in the sense of "your work dwarfes mine" ?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01639087557310523786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151936361024266820.post-64618818222415622992015-05-01T05:07:22.411+09:302015-05-01T05:07:22.411+09:30Wiry and lean is quite sexy too :)
"Dwarfed...Wiry and lean is quite sexy too :)<br /><br />"Dwarfed by someone in stature" really is an expression only native English speakers would use. I LOVE the expression. (put it up my sleeve, will surely need it in the near future, can it also be used metaphorically?)

I waited a full ten minutes for them to disappear so I could take my shots. It is really just meters from the beach so a very accessible area to a lot of people...that day every man and his dog was on the beach but it was a beautiful day.<br />David my husband is quite wiry and lean compared to the boys and we are both dwarfed by them in stature. monique's messhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14968784703510272928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151936361024266820.post-18677880608235073482015-04-30T04:05:53.597+09:302015-04-30T04:05:53.597+09:30Hi Monique,

Strange, but I believe you.<br /><br />All the last pictures of the reflections of the trees in the water are amazing. I am in awe. Such scenery. Great stuff, and so calm and peaceful. Not one other tourist in sight. <br />I also love the picture of the girls in the water. The light is exquisite with the subtle rays coming through. Could be a scene from a movy. Very charming. <br /><br />And both your boys look terribly handsome. How old are they? Did they get their muscles from their dad? In that case, lucky you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01639087557310523786noreply@blogger.com
