I'm Opening

Posted by jeff (aka dogilicious) (Millerstown, PA, United States) on 6 April 2009 in Plant & Nature.

Seemed to be telling his friends that he was ready for spring and he was going to open despite the weather report.

Had some difficulty yesterday with my camera. Suddenly one of my lenses quit auto-focusing for no apparent reason. Anyone else ever had that happen? Any suggestions? I wasted a bunch of shots that I took with that lens. Other lens working fine.

Beautiful flowers and nicely composed.

Regarding your focus problem: I don't know whether Olympus provides firmware updates like Nikon and Canon but I'd guess they do. You might want to check online and see if you have the latest version. Outdated firmware can cause problems in mysterious ways. Best of luck.

The last few days looks like I've converted you. Sorry you won't get a chance to convert me on the 18th...I've been invited to score PASAs. If one lense works and the other doesn't - it could be that the AF on your camera needs fixed. I have to send my camera to get fixed because of this same problem...though yours and mine are not the same make so that could make a difference.

Gorgeous shot. My tulips have been eating by either rabbits or squirrels. I'm not very happy.
