The room is very grand and elegant, so why shouldn't there be lots of light to showcase all the beutiful detail you've worked so hard to make. Lighting might give you problems, but in the end you were victorious and it was well worth the effort!<br />Great, great work my friend. <br />all the best,<br />GiacGiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823654482564548862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726627179512343604.post-30037697844795764842012-01-19T13:26:35.211-06:002012-01-19T13:26:35.211-06:00Irene, your patience is extraordinary!

According to my "idiot guide" you need to go to Scene (SCN) Mode. I've also got little arrows that will give you all the scene mode descriptions. My "flower" is good for 'close ups of flowers or other small subjects'. It's what I use if I'm less than 24" away from the subject. It may sound as if I know what I'm talking about, but I've got the manual on screen as I type! I hope that helps.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182285759059917550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726627179512343604.post-64592028231401774622012-01-18T17:25:28.661-06:002012-01-18T17:25:28.661-06:00Are we in the Twilight Zone???Are we in the Twilight Zone???Melissa Bolinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11947666806768150776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726627179512343604.post-81952495300096194932012-01-18T17:06:00.759-06:002012-01-18T17:06:00.759-06:00OMG, hi Missy!

You've created a lovely room.<br /><br />I'm no photographer but someone told me a while ago if I switched the setting to the little flower symbol I'd get sharper close up pics. I did, and it worked.

The whole room is looking fab. <br /><br />It's taking me ages to get my new post uploaded on my blog, lots of research required! Both that and my new dolls house project will be revealed ASAP!
