    Thanks, José, we are going into autum here in Tasmania and a lot of my friend's garden is dying off so I was lucky to get some images that I could use.

    If you are ever here in Tasmania, let me know as I can set you up on our bus trips, it's a community bus and does not cost the students any thing. It government funded and it is the first Teusday of every month.
    That was the second on this year and I had good numbers each time.

    Samuel likes to sit there as he likes to keep guard on his mom.

    _MG_1578h.jpg I am sending you a photograph of a window handle, taken at home. It is as is, taken in color and only cropped and downsized. It is slightly dark, the frame and handle were grayish white and the rest is somewhat darker.

    As I look closely I can see the light and shadows reflected off the handle, nice one, José, moving to a different subject I notice you are using a 350D, I have two of them for use in my class and one of my student donated a 400D and lens, today.
    I needed to charge up the battery and it works fine. The only issue is the compact flash card refuses to eject, I have to use my finger nail to remove it.
    The only difference between the two is the 400D has an extra button on the left side which acts as a Q button similar to the 60D, I have.

    Thanks Graig, since my 350D broke in 2022, I switched to the EOS 2000D, which I am very happy with and can be used at high ISO.

    Craig, thank you for your willingness to see Tasmania, it's a long way away. In 2016, a group of 6 people spent about a month in Australia and visited Melbourne, Ayers Rock, Cairns and Sydney. It is very big, as much as Europe without the European part of Russia. And now I find it difficult to repeat a great trip.

    February 27th was the coldest day of all this winter, from December to today. The thermometer reached 1ºC, (33,8ºF), and since it rained at night a little snow fell next to Barcelona. It hadn't happened for several years. The photograph is taken from the terrace of my house. Mirando a la torre de comunicacionesf.jpg

    The way the shadow and light falls on the building and surronding areas is excellent, José.
