I am fasinated with whats around me and feel awful for not really noticing before. The good news is I can only improve. I will try the following to see how I get on. 1. Learn to use Camera, and anticipate settings. 2. start with easy subjects (if there is such a thing) 3. Try and enjoys failures and treat them as learning experiances. So thank you all for your advice guess what i'm doing this weekend.
No need to feel silly Lee. It's a learning curve that all would be photographers go through and you will come out the other end eventually.

If you need any help with camera settings and equipment just post on here and there will alwys be someone who can advise. Best of luck and I look forward to seeing some of your results on here.
