I asked but it is so. The only chance they gave me is to use one the one that goes with a cable, and of course that shows on the pics.

Somehow I don't think the remote is fancier than yours.... it's just a remote that is made for the Canon - when you have a Canon that isn't high end enough (:() for it to come with it's own remote so you have to attach another contraption to the camera to get it to work. Sure beats pressing the button though, sprinting to the spot and then finding that none of your photos are in focus :) What sort of remote do you have?Kirsty Bunfieldhttp://kbfield.blogspot.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008815686832698964.post-87029904699164925992013-09-06T20:16:26.980+10:002013-09-06T20:16:26.980+10:00Thanks ! and thanks for your positive ski weather...Thanks ! and thanks for your positive ski weather thoughts :)Kirsty Bunfieldhttp://kbfield.blogspot.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008815686832698964.post-57425566052435389812013-09-06T20:14:53.554+10:002013-09-06T20:14:53.554+10:00Did you holiday at Lake Burley Griffin as a child?...Did you holiday at Lake Burley Griffin as a child? Thank you for being so honest on the top. I do agree the whole thing isn't exactly right and the top could, despite that is the way we were supposed to draft it, benefit from a boxier fit.

The front of the blouse is lovely-like you say, I'm not so sure about the back.. you're totally pulling it off though and good on you for drafting bits yourself. Maybe the next time you use a back collar like that you could make the top a bit more boxy so the silhouette would stay straight all the way through?theperfectnosehttp://theperfectnose.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008815686832698964.post-77781985325503909242013-09-03T23:39:47.483+10:002013-09-03T23:39:47.483+10:00Thanks Kristy.

I kind of like the big sailor collar at the back, it sort of makes a little designer statement. And it looks great, both dressed down casual and work appropriate with a skirt. I think it's your choice of fabric, I must really get the hang of choosing fabrics.<br />I have not tried bias binding a v neck before so I imagine it must be tricky. But it looks like you did a good job to me.<br />And you look so natural in the photos, I wouldn't have guessed you took them on your own!erin gohhttp://opportunityknits.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008815686832698964.post-69614510534877891192013-09-02T11:50:23.264+10:002013-09-02T11:50:23.264+10:00Aww I felt like I was with you in spirit ;) The lo...Aww I felt like I was with you in spirit ;) The location looks so romantic!
