Photographs

Regular readers of my blog will be aware that I have not had a great deal of luck with my attempts at capturing digital images for use on here.

Behind the scenes a fair amount of discussion has gone on, with the general consensus being that I simply needed a better camera.

Of course, in the age of the digital revolution, that statement in itself proved a minefield.... What exactly was a better camera, and having established that, which of the myriad of manufacturers should I choose.  Then having come up with a manufacturer, which model would suit me best....

After some research, including establishing what I actually needed in the way of features, I started to narrow down the choices.   Many friends offered advice and some were able to lend me a camera to try out...

As a result of all this activity, I have just ordered a new camera from the Canon A series.   One of the features that came out high on my want list was a view finder - ok I'm old fashioned!!!  but I like to look through a lens and see what I am photographing....   With a lot of the camera's offering a rear monitor screen, I actually couldn't see the image in bright sunshine.

I'd just like to thank those friends out there who advised me and helped me choose

The new camera arrived today, so now we'll discover whether it really was my camera or simply that a bad workman always blames his tools....
