I've Had Better Days

...with the camera, that is. I mean just LOOK at these pics. Bleck. It's like the anti-focusing demons from the 26th dimension had it in for me this morning. AND they teamed up with the crappy-light demons from the 10th dimension.

Sigh...

Well, just have a look and you'll see what I mean. Oh, if you've read this far Mon, there's a recipe for you cus my wee little brain seemed to remember you could have possibly mentioned you might just be inclined to that type of food... maybe...

Anyways, here's the pics of the uncooperative cockatoos.

Let's just keep it in perspective, eh?

Not only can I not work the focus ring, I can't even hold the stupid camera level with the horizon. I'm a failure...

Sky: The horizon is never level on friday nights :)

Glad you like the shots, I was being a wee bit sarcastic cus a couple are pretty good. There are quite a few mornings and evenings I don't even bother with the camera and I just sit out and enjoy the show.
