Training for the Flower Show

Wow...there's a dingus that lets me post this directly to Livejournal! Watching this video, you can see a taste of what I've been seeing for the past three days.

In other Flower Show news, I overslept by a considerable amount this morning, having forgotten to set my alarm. However...I did awake briefly at about the last possible moment for me to leap out of bed and into my clothes and make it there in time to do my tour. I noted that possibility and went back to sleep.

As a point-and-shoot, the new Nikon is doing beautifully well. Focus is a little softer than I'd like but that's to be expected with hand-held. Also, I haven't learned how to correct the exposure to photograph large white flowers like peonies yet, but I'm sure I'll get there.
