To offset this generosity I realized that I had misread the specification. The Dimage V does not have a 3 megapixel sensor (as first thought) but a 0.3 megapixel sensor. There's not a lot of detail possible from a tiny sensor like this so I have started with images with a strong graphic content, often featuring the garden table and chairs.
The little zoom lens is "focus free" i.e. set to its hyperfocal distance, with a macro setting. As the screen is tiny, with very poor resolution, it is hard to tell when the macro setting is needed.

The following image has a special significance as it reminds me of my uncle, who lived in Aldeburgh, was a wood turner and died yesterday. He was a marvelous man of whom I only have good memories.

We have moved our old wood burning stove in to the garden and here is Bren warming herself by it.
