Hi Kayleigh Please can you tell me what sort of camera you use? Ive just bought one and it should be delivered tuesday !! Then I reckon my problems will start with " how do I do this"

"how do I do that".

you best turn off computers next week until I get the hang of it all.

sheila Thanks alot,

Hi, I have got a fuji finepix..I just point the thing and press the button.

Don't ask anything technical, I have not read all the manual yet.

Hi shei111 what camera have you ordered ?

Mine is good with insects like bees a bit iffy on tiny spiders. Not too hot with birds but that's probably me

I took this today not bad but a few attempts. That's the good thing about digital. You can delete the bad ones.

Hi kayleigh,, Thats a good photo really love it,

Ive got a olympus SP560UZ. Should be here in a day or two. I main ly wanted it for garden birds Ive done lots of read up on it and hopefully it will be ok for me,

I was very surprised how the prices of cameras varied from shop to shop for the same models , I was doing a lot of research on line which was the easiest as we live 23 miles from nearest large town which is where you need to go to buy. I ended up buying on line too, simply because for exactly the same camera at all major outlets I got it for £135.00 cheaper, and thats with postage, Im only a novice and didnt want to spend loads of bucks on something I know little about , so I thought Id start off with the olympus and I can always work my way up if need be.

We all have to start somewhere dont we?

We have one of those in our house!!!

A Fuji Finepix 5600. I am told it's very easy to use, although I am still mastering the old floppy disc Canon!!: So don't expect anything spectacular from this quarter...

Sorry, I was laughing

only at the strap though. I had the same problem. I took it off an attached a wrist strap.

It's all about getting familiar with the camera. Look at my earlier pics. I have improved a bit. The bee fly came out really clear. Flowers are a good subject too. I cant wait for nicer weather as I can get closer to the birds and the bees in the garden.
A bit adventurous but I'm going for a hummingbird moth. They go on my lavender, lilac and budlier.

The Hummingbird moth - ah, such spectacular creatures! I was absolutely bemused when I first saw one down here in deepest Sussex...! We never had them in London.

Definatley how a moth has the same characteristics as bird visa versa-Humming Bird Moth or Humming Moth Bird? which came first

like the Chameleon to the Sea Horse, all part of evolution me knows-knows nothing!!!
