Sorry to hear about the cam Roz. Try a different lens, and also make sure that the Auto/Manual switch on the lens is in the "Auto" position all the way. I would switch it a few times to maybe work out a glitch there. There is probably a AF MF switch on the camera too. Work that one a few times also. Try cleaning the contacts on the lens with a rubber pencil eraser too. My S3 does the same thing sometimes with one of the lenses that I use on it, so I have just learned to shoot manual focus and work around it.
Here's wishing you best of luck with repairs if you need to have it worked on.

Whoa! This might be one of those "minimalist" things. Turn it 90 with the float at the top, and it will be totally abstract artsy. This is great, I love it.

That's sweet. 13 is pretty old for a cat. the high key is excellent for this subject.
My son has one that is about 12 now, and she's super cranky , no touchy-tear your arm off, most of the time. Cats are a mystery.

Overcast, Oversprayed and Overtaken

It looks like a windshield shot on a rainy day, with the camera right against the windshield. The water drops make for some crazy looking wavies in the image. The image definitely conveys the mood of a rainy dreary day and that sometimes you have to go anyway, rain or shine.

I keep a mental log of places that would make good foreground for sunsets so that I can go to one quickly when I see a nice sunset coming on.
I have gotten a lot of nice sunset photos that way when I would have otherwise just had to watch and sigh.
You exposed this correctly to get the vibrant color.
I have also found that here in S W Florida, the best shots are usually after the sun sets, sometimes as long as 20 minutes after the actual sundown.

I see that you have started using your 500. They work pretty good for this sort of thing.

Whether you shot it like this or processed it to get the lighting as it is, the lighting is superb. You were fortunate, and ready when the good fortune happened.

I believe that it's going to need a tune up soon.
That was a grand adventure story connected with this shot.

This is the crankshaft and flywheels with flat belt pulley from a "hit or miss" single cylinder engine. It probably dates from the early 1920's to 1930.
