& a couple I took on the beach a coupla weeks back & forgot all about

Wonderful. Especially love the duckies.

Alma, what brand of camera are you using? The photos are so **** clear...very nice!

Thanks Eve & bloser....

You might be a little surprised about the camera, it's an old, early Olympus digital(D-545) that I originally bought for £20 in a second hand shop about 10 years ago!

It takes great pix, has travelled some places with me, made it through festivals & stands the test of time-I loves it.

I also have a Fuji FinePix SLr style that I occassionally can be bothered dragging about, but to be quite honest my wee Olympus fits in my pocket & does pretty much everything I need it to do(only thing that it struggles with is speed).

I really like the last one !

Cheers Bogey-I love living beside the water.

I would love to, live on the coast somewhere.
I have a river about a mile away. That's it.

Beautiful, Alma! Very lovely. Thank you for sharing.

I like the "Where's Flay?" photo. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Alma. I'm in the market for a new digital and was wondering what you make/model you used. I'm leaning towards the one Bogey uses and might stick to that one. Might be a Xmas gift to myself

I know what you mean about the cheapy camera working well. I have a Sony Mavica...uses a floppy disk and/or a memory card...and it's still going strong.

My first digital camera was a £50 cheap one. Some of my favourite photo's were taken with that one. However when I look back, there is loads of very poor ones. The one I use now cost £185 roughly. I am thinking of getting a better one say £300. Not sure I want to get one too technical though.

Nice pics

It doesn't matter what kind of camera you have. You either know how to use it or you don't. You don't need an expensive or new camera to take a **** good shot, as long as you know what you're doing.

Thanks Callie(& all for the lovely comments)-I really don't have that much of a clue what I'm doing in terms of the technological side of things to be quite honest, but I do like to hope that I have a bit of an eye, I just try to get the camera to capture some of the wonderful things there are to see in such a way that pleases me-I try to capture some of what I 'feel' but it doesn't always work out that way....I took some more shots today & I found some old ones kicking around so may post them up in a bit.

Well whaddaya know-today was one of those pretty much 'shotless outcomes' in the end.....I'm not really happy with what I got today-some you win....

Here's a few I had from a day earlier this summer instead

I love the flower stalk pictures, and how you made the stalks seem so huge. It's like something out of a fantasy or fairy tale. Very neat.

And of course I enjoyed the dog photos!

Thanks SkaFisih-it's always good for us to look at things from a new/different perspective I think.

I like the pic of your car.

Thanks EssGee!

Pics are great, and I like the car also. Does that 42 on the car mean you are a Douglas Adams fan?

Hi Case, thanks, the number 42 on the car is my roller derby number, & yes I chose that number because I'm a fan of Douglas Adams' work.

I love your pictures. Especially the flower stalk ones. Very interesting.
