    I'm sorry, I can't be sure. I seem to have forgotten to take notes or photograph the info panel with these shots. All I know is that they were taken in the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau.

    Thank you, mark! It's going to drive me crazy now, I'll have to search the museum's database.

    This is my attempt at photography.

    http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq131/koantemplation/IMG_0003_zpsd21304ca.jpg

    I'm still using automatic mode as I can't figure out how to change the settings fast enough to film something quickly.

    aww..he looks like the stubborn one from my back garden ..i think he's come back as i sometimes have the holes dug up again haha

    I'm a great photographer. I won't accept a shot if the picture isn't right in every way. It's not very often I have to delete images though, because I always try to make sure that everything's right before I press the button. The lighting, the focus, the angle and the right distance from the object. I normally end up being very satisfied with the shot I've taken. If not, it gets taken again.

    Learning more every time I take the camera out. That's why it's a great hobby

    Personally, I'm hopeless as a photographer, but Mrs Diva is amazing.
    She was published last year in a fireworks magazine, and again last month in Slink Magazine with a double page spread of a fashion show

    So proud of her :)

    Have you tried using a tripod?

    Hopefully they are not too shaky to set one up. You can also buy a remote control so you don't have to touch the camera if you are at risk of shaking while pressing the button.

    I'm not too bad, here is one I took last week at a dog agility competition:
    http://www.pentaxuser.co.uk/images/comment_pictures/16031/16031_1397384488.jpg

    And the pro photographer took her shot at almost the same time as me(from different angle) and this is her effort:
    http://www.emmaelliottphotography.co.uk/p640473452/h35ab3f55#h35ab3f55

    Think that's 1-0 to the me the amateur :kitty:
    To go against what other people have said I thibnk yours is far better than the pros.

    It is beautiful artistic shots like in the album above that really put me into my place as a total newbie in picture taking, you must be really proud of your work :).

    I finally got a telephoto lens last week & took it to the local plantation gardens, I understand that some of the flowers are over exposed, but I am still learning & am constantly referring to the dummies guide of my camera to help me to learn various things. :blush:

    If I am having a good day health wise tomorrow & am strong enough to carry my equipment, then I will be going to a small wildlife park to attempt some animal shots for the first time with my camera. :)

    I recently got back into film photography rather than digital - I put 6 rolls of film into being developed this morning it's quite scary not knowing if you managed to get a decent shot or not
