They were taken through my office window and it seems that the
auto-focus didn't do as well as it might have done. Nevertheless,
they do show the colours very well. It was the best that I have seen
for quite some time.


Lovely skies. I've had problems with auto-focus when clouds are not
sharply-defined so I lower my aim to something like a tree in the
distance to click on for the auto-focus and then raise the camera to
point at the main target before completing the shot. Problem is, that
also leads to some under-exposure.

By the way, Norman, your sig was prefixed by '--' instead of '-- ' so
auto-delete didn't work.


Under exposure Graham are you sure? I would think focussing on a distant
tree to get the camera to set its shutter speed, would cause your
camera to over expose on taking a photo of the sky, as the sky is the
brightest object there is to photograph in day light.
