My Birthday. Pictures with new camera.

22 comments

It was my birthday yesterday and my wife bought me a new camera.
So I have been reading on how to use it properly and I have been out in the garden practising.

Trying different ways of taking the pictures, such as auto and manual, as well as reading back through the information as to why they are not focusing etc.

All the pics are from my garden this morning, plenty of fungi at the moment as well as a few hangers on.
The Tree ferns have got their scarfes on for the winter, awaiting the cold weather.

I dont know the names of any of the fungi, so if any one does then please let me know. All I do know is that the round hard black ones were on the One Show the other day and a chap started a fire with them as they apparently burn really easy ( I haven’t tried this yet).

I’m still hoping to see the Earth Star fungi that appeared last year, but they have not put an appearance in yet.

Hopefully my pics will get better as I progress.

The pic of the tree bark is particularly good - you can almost feel the texture!
The fungi ones are great - sorry can't help with the names either!!!
Lovely thoughtful birthday present though... and belated happy returns!!

Must be the time for new cameras as mine arrived this week too! The instruction book is very daunting but I'm slowly getting there, I think! Your pics are great, looks like you're mastering it. Good luck

Belated Birthday wishes Trees, loved the pictures, bought myself a new one this year, (had my other 20 years ago) takes some getting used to, but, I love it.

Happy belated birthday from me to!
I have a point and press camera and I still needed help on how to work it.
I don't know any of the fungi names either.
Not much help really is it?

Thanksa to everyone for the belated birthday wishes. I have been taking pics all day and loading them on the computer and croping them and zooming in etc.
All I need now is lots of sunshine and something interesting to take a picture of.

I spent ages chasing a bumble bee round the garden this afternoon till it got cross and started chasing me! Lots of pics but none in focus as it just wouldn't keep still!! Ah well - it's fun to keep trying isn't it but like you say, not so much to take pics of now and always damp. Happy belated birthday from me too!

I find the 'burst' facility really good it takes 3 or 10 shots at a time if you keep the button pressed down ! A lot to delete but you get some good shots :)
