Frosty Top

Woke this morning to a thick mist/fog and frost everywhere - saw this beautiful seedhead with the frost crystals on it and thought "Ha, blipopportunity" - so here you have it - handheld 18-105 lens - came out quite well I thought.

Talking of blipopportunities - I thought I would share some of my "bliptionary" with you .....

BLIPTIONARY - a collection of words really only a blipper would appreciate/understand

BLIPOPPORTUNITY - you see it and you know its perfect for a blip (you would never have noticed pre-blip)

BLIPBUDDY/BLIP-PAL - self explanatory but someone you probably would have never met, or come into contact with, outside of blip

SNAPTURE - one of those photos you grab - no pre-planning, no setting up - but it works (a capture you snapped) - Richieboo has already nabbed this one from me!!!

CONBLIPULATIONS - confess I pinched this one from maxellis (The Max Factor) way back - says it all in one word on your special blipday

There's five for starters - what else can you all come up with ? Your weekend challenge maybe??!!

A much more serious note - I need some advice/help/thoughts re my Nikon D90 please -

the last couple of weeks or so, immediately after I have taken a picture, I can here a "click" inside the camera (like the mirror flipping/dropping) - almost sounds like a double shutter click. Strangely, the longer the lens, the louder the click.

If I keep my finger on the shutter button for continuous shots the image seems to move very slightly in the frame even when the camera is on the tripod.

I took a fast sequence of shots of the moon last night (pretty rubbish ones, at that) and when I viewed them on the computer, one after the other, the positioning onscreen of each one was very slightly different even though the shots had been taken exactly the same.

The image quality doesn't seem to be affected - just this damn delayed click noise every time.

I checked in the settings and the shutter delay option (d10) is set to 'off'.
Can anyone help or suggest anything??? Your thoughts/ideas gratefully received before I resort to an expensive Nikon quote/repair
