Thanks for photo tips

A chilly hello from Ballarat, a lovely old city from the Victorian gold rush era. It is only early April, but is already feeling very wintery. Yesterday I walked around in a long sleeve t-shirt, a wool jumper and a puffa jacket, it was that cold. But Ballarat is one of those cold places, certainly colder than it is where we come from.

I wasn't really intending posting about our weekend away, but instead thanking people for their photography tips. I will try everyone's tips to see if it helps, but my photos are generally pretty clear. It still seems that the problem is the uploading to blogger. I think it may be something to do with using the blogger app that I use. Anyway, I will keep fiddling with the settings of the camera and blogger and see what happens.

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend, wherever you are.

    Hi Shannon, Happy Easter from another Ballarat resident. Yes the weather is getting cooler but the Autumn days have been just beautiful.
    Regards,
    Vicki.

    hi Shannon, I did not realize that you are in Ballarat. Vistited your gold rush town two years ago during a three month trip in Victoria and Tasmania. Two of my cousins live in Daylesford,
    It can get very cold there, I went to school for a year in Bairnsdale .... brrr , the wind off the Snowy Mountains was bitter!
    Have a lovely Easter.
    regards Janine

    Thanks Elizabeth! Cameras are one of those things that make no sense to me. It's why I have mine set on auto all the time!

    Vicki and Janine, I was just visiting Ballarat for the weekend, and it is lovely but glad to be only visiting! I am from Bairnsdale, amazingly! Which school did you go to Janine? I grew up here in Bairnsdale. It is nice but can get pretty cold over winter (but not as bad as Ballarat!).

    Hi Shannon, What a small world. I went to the public school. My Grandfather Favel Wordsworth had died and the Estate was very complicated.
    My parents went down and stayed in my Grandfathers house and I went to school. I believe that was in 1963.
    My best friend was Leslie ??., who lived at Lakes Entrance. Leslie visited us in Canada in 1976/77.
    Her surname excapes me at present.
    regards Janine
