... now I wanna see pics from the party!!
Thank you again to all of you for your good wishes ... they all make me so, so happy! Soooo happy. I :heart: you all!
And Mentos... with respect to the party ... and the photos taken ... erm. Weeeelll. For once keep in mind that we all are a bunch of "elderly people", so "partying" is no longer what it once was

roll: ). And then. Well...
My son decided he wanted to take a couple of pics with my Powershot, and he wanted to avoid the use of flash. That was his intention - and his intentions were good.
Well, see what I could later get out of the total blackness he managed to produce (those two of me were not all black, the other three almost were):
And here's two that I took with my new toy (ISO upped to 1600, something very new to me, i.e. the fact that I CAN push the iso thus far, the Powershot only allows for ISO 400) and one that my Hamburg friend took with the Powershot PLUS flash and one that I took with my new toy and flash ... and the photo that my son was taking at the time I took his photo was black beyond saving... But he tried.
You see that party have gone from wild to mild ... if they ever were "wild" in my life, which I doubt.
I hope you are not too disappointed.
to all for your wishes.
(And Graham, I still live a bit off that hug at Stanstead, but ... erm ... to think back makes me wish for m.... ah, better go to the Secret Wishes thread for this
