Leon,

I have a 512Mb card in mine - holds several hundres pictures. I can give you some tips on photography but my advice is looks at other peoples - Wayland and Jon PIckett as well as Fenlader all do really nice stuff. Just take lots and lots and find out what works.

I've bever used the video feature - I bought that one as I wanted a long lens really and it was the best one afound at the time. It does what I want and its easy to use

You'll need to buy some basic editing software but if you get the Kodak it comes with some. I would ask Jon what he uses as I really like his stuff

what do you think of my newly made pouch
leon

 

[leon-b]

is the editing software that it comes with any good, and what do you use it for ?

Leon,

The editing software is okay. Theres better stuff out there but it takes a long time to learn. I use a few of them for cropping (taking only one part of the photo to make a new photo), reducing the size of the image for my articles etc. Nothing fancy.

I'd suggest getting a camera with macro mode which means you can do close ups of flowers and insects etc. Its amazing how beautiful they are up close

[leon-b]

does your camera have a macro setting ?
leon

 

[British Red]

Sure does - I have great fun playing in the garden and fields with it

I like photgraphing frogs and voles and stuff - makes me patient in having to watch them. I also love taking pictures of raptors (birds of prey) - I have hundreds of them

[leon-b]

im hoping to photograph wildlife, and build up a big folder of them on my computer

leon

 

[leon-b]

do you have any accesorries for your camera
leon

 

[British Red]

No idea mate on suppliers - theres a magazine out called "What digital camera" gives loads of places and reviews all the digital cameras out there and suggests the best ones. I have the current issue. Would you like me to post it to you after christmas mate?

There are loads of books on photography - why not get one from the library?

Just a tripod which I use for long shots (cheap one). Thats it

 

[leon-b]

leon
