Just decided to buy a new toy.
Here are a few of my first attempts at trying to use it.

DD can you give me lessons please?? Last week when I was in Kent I took photo of one of my nephews so that my kids could see a cousin they have never met. When I downloaded I had cut his head off ;D Very nice pics .(yours I mean) Lorna.

Wow, DD! They're excellent, so sharp and clear....hoping to get one for **th birthday. What type did you get? Thanks Lottie

DD I absolutely love your close up of the carnation petals. Beautiful. Can we have some more close ups with your new toy ?!

Thanks for the kind comments, Lottie the one I opted for was the Sony cybershot W7. Its not got a great magnification on the lens but it gives you a massive 7.2 megapixel image. I paid £211 for it, just need to buy a memory stick now.
Reasoning for the smaller camera is convenience on holidays and special occasions, DSLR a bit of a handfull.
I hope to take some better photos asap.

Plocket come on thats not the altitude ;D
Took this photo whilst fishing on Saturday evening, slightly fooled the camera on the water colour. After all it is the Bristol channel. Seems like the sky has somehow become reflected on the water.

More closeups to follow.

Not then Glynn, had a small Bass the previous week. Too small to eat though, so returned for another day or Spanish trawler somewhere.
Thanks for the info jaggythistle, found a good site called www.picstop.co.uk
had a Sandisk ultra 2 512mb card for £45 I think.

~excellent :) love the intense orange of the anthers

Took this image about 10 minutes ago. Its part of a fullsize 7.2mp photo( I would say about a 1/3 of the full image). Not sure if any better than at small 1mp but gives you the option of seeing a photo within the photo(IE crop out what you don't want). (mp=mega pixel)
