loving this camera:) best quality i have seen from any i have owned

looking out the front of my house at some peugeot bad weather makes good pics difficult,, also take through a window


well what can i say not a perfect photo but pretty funny, my dog loves the camera, and any time he sees one will instantly try to get a picture take of himself:)

thanks Hagar:)
I had it set to 2million pixels on a medium quality for those. with that setting i can get 40 right now, they didnt have any memory cards bigger than the 16mb one it comes with at the time, i will hopefully pick up a 64mb one in near future, though.
As for concorde i should know tomorow whether or not i can make it. there is a bus there but i dont know times and its £10, so i am first hoping for my dad to give me a lift there.
Thanks again:)

Word of advice here Craig....Wendy and I were just talking about your camera......BTW, nice shots for a start !

If you intend to print any images, then take Hagars advice and shoot at the highest res you have, but if you will be limited by memory card space, then shoot at "1M FINE" or "2M NORMAL".
The images will still be very acceptable for printing if you have good software and great for the web, in fact you will be reducing file size to be able to post them on here.....

Right you are Hagar, there is much to be said for higher res in that application....my concerns were only about running out of card at a once in a lifetime situation.....
...........and for me, any moment not captured, is a moment gone forever.......

Average out all your advice Craig and shoot from the heart but through your eye........

Thank you all
Ozzy your welcome to the dog if you want him, he's as nutty as you:)

And Ken and Doug, Thank you both for the advice. its finding a good day to put it into practise, hopefully tomorow is going to be alot better weather. As for printing, right now i need to get the pictures down to a fine art before i can start using up ink:)

LOL how did you manage to do that, i have both PSP7 and photo shop, which do you think is better, to edit and improve with?

This took me less than 2 minutes with PSP7. I could do better if I spent more time on it.  As with anything else, you have to know how to use it to get the required results. PSP suits me fine & I stick with what I know best. I can't afford Photoshop & wouldn't have the faintest idea how to use it. As Dave knows, I don't much care for those gimmicky effects.

well better weather today, took this picture from my moms bedroom window, looks a little better than yesterday.
Day shot


and exact same shot taken at night, not perfect but difficult to see through the viewfinder in dark, got the lights down pretty well:)

honestly there is very little of interest in this area. generic streets, generic houses. very little nature:
i might take it up the fields where i run, its a little bit of nature and also a good spot to get some planes on finals for bristol airport:)
i will give it a go monday if the weather is good
