okkaayyy.....so it it is now working!! maybe it just needed me to send a message first!! Computers...you just have to love them don't you
Anyway here are some of my first attempts with my Canon 1100D digital SLR. Various settings used.
My first attempt at cloudy water!
Hope you like them. I read in a magazine about Project 365 - take a photo on every day of the year. I started mine on 1st Jan so hopefully David I will have plenty of shots to keep this forum going!!
Thanks David...took the advice of my daughter and we went out just as it was getting dark. Managed the milky effect without a tripod and just using a slow shutter speed.
Although having been a member for some time, this week has been the first time that I have spent time on here for quite a while. It's great to see that the forum has grown since I was last on with some great new threads such as this! Well done David K!!
To introduce myself to those that don't know me I thought I should share a selection of pictures from my wildlife garden and of a few of my regular visitors so you get an idea of what I'm about and what I like to shout about...
1.) My wild flower area...
2. Dry gravel stream with old stone bridge...
3. The wildlife walk
4. Play area shows family use alongside wildlife...
5. A regular visitor...
6. A visitor who decided to stay...
7. And very welcome he was... providing a natural defense against aphids and a healthy broad of chicks to demonstrate how effective this all is...
8. Butterflies seem to want to start families here also for some reason?...
9. Must be the perennial borders for pollinators...
10. Also providing vital food source for night flying pollinators such as this Angle Shades moth...
11. Where's there's moths.... but all part of the bigger food chain and ecology of a healthy garden so no need to worry about caterpillars here (Chillaxed this wildlife gardening lark!!)...
12. No wildlife garden would be complete without some recycling like my 'bog garden'...
So there you have it that's me, my garden and my wildlife!
Apologies if I have bored you rigid with all these photos but I hope that you will all see why I shout about my wildlife now....

Good call, Nikki......I love the eeriness of the shot, emphasised by the reflections in the waterfall debris. You must have a very steady hand, but I would generally recommend using a tripod or at least to have the camera on a stable surface for a shot like that.

Fantastic shots, Nikki.....I love taking waterfall pics myself and you have achieved the milky water beautifully.
Welcome, Buttons.....two gorgeous companions you have there.

Nothing boring about those shots, Higgy!
Wildlife pics are always good to look at, though a tad difficult to capture at times.
Thanks for your blog link.....I enjoyed reading that too.
Good call, Nikki......I love the eeriness of the shot, emphasised by the reflections in the waterfall debris. You must have a very steady hand, but I would generally recommend using a tripod or at least to have the camera on a stable surface for a shot like that.
I like your choice of camera too.
Love your garden Higgy, lovely pics. Thank you for sharing
Love your pics Higgy. I have a bit of a wildlife garden but it's looking very messy at the moment!!
