Zooom!!!!!

[rancid badger]

I've not been too impressed with my new camera, to be honest.

It's an Olympus 590uz, which replaced my much more impressive 550uz, when I killed it by dragging it off the desk and onto the floor.:togo:

I suspect it's me rather than the camera but even on auto, the pictures leave a lot to be desired.

Except if you want to zoom in, then the 26x zoom is quite good!

I took a few pictures the other day, up above Stanhope in Weardale.

This was just at the roadside, looking up the hill to the Waskerley Way.

The distance is at least a mile I'd say and I decided to see what the vehicle on the horizon was:

I was able to sneak a shot at some grouse;

as well as a few smaller things too!:

but then I heard what I had really come for, sadly, far too far across the valley but I took a shot on full zoom anyway;

I actually aimed at the glint of sunlight, as I couldn't really see much else!

So maybe I need to learn a lot more about the camera

just thought I'd share

That is really good. Imagine what you could do if you actually knew what was going on

I'm sure you're right!

My son is a natural at this game, he takes the photo's I'd like to take

I reckon it's something to do with me being left handed:bluThinki

it's certainly a clever bit of kit, maybe a bit too clever for me though

cheers

I wish I still had the 550 to be honest. This thing even has a "Beauty setting" I think it's to make old boilers look younger, did buxxer all for me mind you

I've got to sit down and learn the knobs and switches I reckon.
