    Thanks Ann. Hope you enjoy your course.

  • Hi, KEF...well done with your first attempt. I'm not quite sure how the L25 macro setting works i.e. do you have to set the camera to macro, or does it automatically set (as some do) when the lens is close to the subject?

    Shame the flash went off for the rose pic, but the others were nicely in focus.

    Ann - is this the new club in Kendal?

    Ah, that sounds interesting & hopeful. image

    Btw, I put the walking stick/tripod on my Santa list.....wasn't totally blown away by it, but it does function well as a stick. image

    On the subject of camera clubs, (although I've posted this link before) I do urge peeps who haven't seen it to take a peek at this website belonging to one of our club members. www.royhodgkissphotography.co.uk/

  • Roys pictures are awesome David something to aspire to, i have found another club that is part of the university of the third age so weather permitting i might go along it is held a Ambleside so not so far

    David I have to set it to macro, then small symbol appears on top left of screen, but need to put my specs on to make sure I give it time enough to focus. So I'll be out walking with camera in one pocket and specs in the otherimage
