Yes i have got another new camera ( a rare opportunity arose so i treated myself)
I have stuck with the fuji finepix but got a newer model
a S1800
the main attraction was bigger zoom this one is 18x,
but along with this came a extra 4 million mega pixels, face detection, smile detection, blink detection,auto zoom, and ability to take panorama's, so what i thought would be a easy transition is another new learning curve !
these are some i have taken so far to...

The next couple of photo's,
I especially like the first one of these the second being a bit too dark but that was a experiment Pity the clematis wasnt in better shape, but it is getting late in the season for them.

Now i don't want to give out the wrong impression here, there where plenty that went into the bin mainly due to not getting the distance right and the wind blowing

It may be a long time till i next post some as i will be trying out on humans...

non "Auto " photo's



As i have said before in a previous blog i was going to try and not be a happy snapper so much, and try to get to better grips with my camera, well during then and now i have tried unsuccessfully, every now and then tried different things that i had read with very little results

Then i asked someone for any tips they had on photographing red flowers and they very kindly answered...
