The problem with having friends with fancy cameras and oodles of technical knowledge is that pretty soon you start feeling like you can't take pictures anymore unless you have an SLR and know all about f-stops. You put away your insignificant little consumer camera and start dreaming of all the pictures you will take one day with your canon rebel... all the while forgetting that actually, you really just love taking pictures. So I dusted off my camera that had been shunned into the deep recesses of my bag and took a stroll around the garden for some digital macro downtime.
* This post, in a way, is for my grandfather. He loved being outside, being in his garden and used to walk around taking pictures of the things he grew, and today I found myself doing the same. I wonder what he would have thought of photoediting :)

GF: pretty cool eh, what you find if you look through the lens?
It's better to a pictures with a variety of cameras, each type of technology captures different things. And also it's the person behind the camera that matters most. I'm all for polaroids, mobile phones, Holgas, Lomos & what not.
These are such beautiful pictures. The colours are so vibrant!
I love the first one... great pics!
wow! awesome pics!!
Gorgeous pics..... >=)
thanks :)
Beautifully said! Don't ever let the fear of not bring good enough stop you from doing what you love! There is ALWAYS someone better, and if only the very very best engage in a craft -- we are all letting that craft die a beautiful death.
