My computer screen has been especially ornery lately.

 

I've had this problem with my computer since the beginning. A repair job three years ago, in which the monitor was replaced, seemed to solve the problem temporarily. But (as I figure it) something about the backlight still has trouble connecting. My screen itself still works fine, as is evidenced by the log-in box that barely shows through a dark haze.

 

At first the backlight took several minutes to come on, so that I could see my screen. Today it took almost 4 hours and has been getting worse over time. Yesterday I placed an order for a new (well, reconditioned-new) computer -- especially since an out-of-warranty repair on this one would cost almost as much.

 

I have tried (a) cooling the computer with fans, (b) tweaking the screen back and forth, (c) toggling the light controls available to me, (d) holding down the Function key for at least 10 seconds (as recommended by tech support), (e) toggling the external monitor control (ditto), (f), running PC-Doctor (ditto), (g) changing my screen saver defaults, (h) shaking the computer (and hearing pretty chiming sounds), and, most recently, (i) slapping the keys.

 

If there were such a thing as Computer Protective Services, I'd be in jail by now.

 

As soon as I can get the correct cable, I'll try hooking my computer up to an external monitor and see if I can solve the problem that way. Meanwhile, I look forward to the arrival of my new workhorse and am keeping my fingers crossed that it will be a friendly steed.

Shot this one randomly, while we were outside searching for shooting locations. Light was great and so that picture was the result.

Last night after dinner the backlight was very nice and I found one aspen leaf that didn't have blight ....LOL........most of my aspen have a lot of black leaves due to many rains this summer...they are a pretty tree, but really are disease prone from all all kinds of stuff.

backlight shots are tough to get even with Exposure compensation. I just got lucky on this try.

This was the last shot of the evening yesterday.

 

As I was walking back to the car to head home I noticed that the warm rays of the setting sun were backlighting this leaf that had fallen vertically in the grass.

 

So I dropped down to the ground and fired a shot or two ...

Shot with 30d, shop light used for backlight, fog machine also used. Tinted in photoshop.

In Vancouver between the side walk and the paved road in many places the city created small garden plots which is given to nearby residents to put plants in it and water them. Some of these gardens equals to a botanical garden with unique flowers.

Daffodil at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. Ruth Ann and I made our first visit of the year to the botanical garden (February has been our inaugural month in recent years), taking advantage of a beautiful spring day. The shade of the Woodland Path area of the garden provided the opportunity for this shot. Giving in to knees that don't take kneeling very well these days, I sat on the path to get a low perspective. While the backlighting keeps the orange cup from shining, I really like the delicate details of the petals.
