I think the keeper might post on here. He's an Elgin fan.

I'll add him to the 'I want to kill Kilt' list then!

I have some average efforts, sadly none are a patch on some of those already posted. This is partly down to me having a very basic 6 mega-pixle camera which I have had about 4 or 5 years now! I might buy a new (far superior) one or put it on my list to Santa. I really want to get quite good at photography.

My Dynax 7D is only 6.8 megapixels. Horribly out of date, but I still get by with it.

Its only a basic camera I have, but that Picasa3 programme can really change normal pics into very good ones.

Picasa3 you say? I think I will download that, having briefly looked it up. I am still going to purchase a more up-to-date camera in the not-too-distant future. My dad has some advanced camera which is amazing and my Auntie's camera is something else! Mind you she is a professional freelance photographer!

Aye. Works a treat at improving my photos.

Is that Chesh, Shaker? Oh, meant to tell you, I heard your mention on Radio 1 on Sat. I was on my way to Lossie at the time, funnily enough.

I'm quite into taking pics - particularly of coastal views and sunsets and things like that. We got a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 about a year ago and it's cracking good for a digital camera.

That's some stunning work there! May I save the sunset pic as a backdrop to use in my Lughnasadh/Samhain celebrations? I also liked your photie on the ski-slope (The Lecht or something?) You remember, when you were thin!

Aye, fire on Kilt.

[Enigma]

Incidently what camera would people on here recommend getting for around £150? Willing to go sligtly higher but £200 may be too much.

Cheers honey - I'll be able to enlarge it at work on our colour printer, laminate it and use it as a backdrop to the Goddess alter, celebrating Lughnasadh/Samhain as the Earth Mother shades into the Crone (Wise Woman ready to pass on her knowledge to the Maiden), the Green Man/Summer Oak King transforms into the the Winter Holly King and the sun reaches it's equinox and fades away over the Winter.

Blessed Be!

Depends upon whether you are wanting a DSLR (interchangable Lens kits and a bit more technical) or a compact (like the point and shot type) The lowest DSLR would be around the £250 mark, while a decent compact camera could be between £120 - £160.

However you can find a 2nd hand DSLR with a seperate lens for near the £200 mark, but hunt around and see whats out there.

Im not to sure I would want DSLR I think I would just like a very decent compact camera.

I was thinking that too, but maybe it'll get checked and we'll get hunted to the gallery.

Nice pics everyone.

Not a problem. The model in the last one is stunning as well. When my Sis was at Uni, she had the same prob with the models she was using. They were always moaning even though they also got mentioned when her photo's went on Exhibition.

I love how the bald guy has stopped to pose for the camera!

Also the guy in the blue strip furthest to the left, how cool is he?!
His team is under attack and he's doing the Robot.

It's nothing spectacular but I love this photo...........
