I hope you don't mind a second comment - I try and keep up with developments in digital cameras, but you do much more with your 'old' 300D than I do with my newer 400D. Despite developments and so-called progress, I see some wonderful images taken with what is often thought of as a creaky old camera.
Just goes to show a good workman can use what some think of as an inferior tool, what a good sculptor can do with an 'ordinary' chisel - Move over, Michelangelo!
Many of us are driving our Racing cars to just post a letter - (I live 120 feet from a post office), and tend to make sow's ears out of silk purses, and make something leaden out of Gold
I may have to try buying one on ebay ........ Hmm!

Very nice shot!
Sorry about the date thing - I like the idea of the black velvet - wouldn't this be so interesting too if you could superimpose a shot of you coming out of the frame, with the frame being hung halfway up a tree, and the supporting cord showing the frame hanging from a tree - or even in a vineyard, with you picking the grapes and eating them?
Or even, pouring liquid out of a frame suspended over a pond, a bath, or some such shot! (maybe turning the tap off or something complicated like shaving yourself from out of the mirror)- these are things I wish I'd done, but no digital possibility when I was young enough
Anyway, great picture!
It is good that you are young enough to be model in many shots - I wish I had done more of that when I could - I watch future pix with interest - best of success for future pix! |

Hi - I'm interested in your camera's date setting. I had a similar problem which led to a DQ, and Iknow some others had this (all Canon owners). My date skipped forward too.
Cheers
