Trying to get back into things

[annie]

 

Struggling with the eye problem, but I think if I can just get my confidence back I may get back into it, hope so cause the bugs are starting to appear..!

Go on, tell me, what is wrong with that? Your eye seems fine to me

[annie]

It's hard with this fog spot in my eye...and what I see down the viewfinder seems to be different to what I see once it's on the computer.

 

I took loads today of hover flies and have deleted all of them now I have seen them on the computer, yet on the camera they looked fine to me.

That's lovely, Annie. Glad you have started using your camera again.

I must try and have a potter around with mine, too.

[annie]

A very nice image.

[bugmeister]

Looks good to me

[Craftysnapper]

Very nice indeed Annie. 

 

I completely lost the sight in my right eye last year after and due to chemo and even now I just see blurry shapes if the blurry spot is in just one eye you could learn to use the other one for the viewfinder as I did,it does not take long or if using the lcd screen close the effected eye..where there is a will there is a way.

Always keep trying Annie - this one is fine - but I know it can sometimes feel harder to get back into the swing than perhaps we think it should.

Hi, Annie,

GREAT, to se you getting into gear again, you have been sorely missed .....as you know, I had cataracts done followed a very serious retinal problem being corrected. My focussing (right) eye sees just fine, my left sees clearly but distorted.

As you know, I am a very keen macro shooter when the bugs a are out........I began to break the usual rule of manual focus only.....my SONY A55 with its dedicated auto macro lens does an amazing job.

If you have to manually focus, the pic posted here looks perfect to me.

As an aside........my good lady, has had inherited Gloucoma for over thirty years now......next Tuesday she will have serious eye surgery to ease dangerous pressure in one eye......the other will be done about three months later.

Please keep posting, because I know, that photography keeps my old mind active, makes me many friends, and gets me out and about.

Whilst I'm sure we are all glad to see you posting again Annie there is certainly no lack of skill in that shot, its a cracker

[Korky]

It's all pretty much been said, so all I've got to add is....

 

Welcome back, Annie - it's great to have you posting again.

The queen of the raynox is about again

I will have to up my game to keep on par, once I get out there that is

My deleted images of hover flies would fill a wheelie bin so your not on your own there

[THELONGMAN]

Its looking sharp to me Annie, but I can appreciate your frustrations, but please stick with it, you still have a lot to say via your photography,

Fuji.

All the best to Mrs Fuji.

I do hope the surgery works well and that her eyes can be improved a lot.
