Sorry you have the lurgi, please tell me what setting you used for your birds and the butterfly, I use an SLR and my shots are not as clear as yours, what make is it too? your photos are excellent.

You've taken some great photos. Keep it up. I want to see more ...lol :o))

Thanks to everyone for your nice comments - I am feeling a little better today, just sound like a barking seal.
I have a very knowledgable hubby that is showing me the ropes, plus i have been instructed by him to read the following book - Understanding Exposure, Bryan Peterson.
I am sure they will be plenty more photos, I have the urge to want to get the camera out all the time.... It will have to wait, I need to go to work...Day off on Thursday.

I'm full of a cold today as well, where do they come from ? Felt fine yesterday ! Your photos are beautiful, really enjoyed looking at them. : o ) )

Thanks for the info, will try out these settings, although mine is a Nikon d60, you are lucky to have someone to help with the camera, OH has a lovely camera but uses auto for everything, have been on the web a few times which has helped.
