Hi John, a very warm welcome to you. You have joined a fantastic site, I am also new, to both the site and to photography and I have had so much help from the people here already, they really are a very helpful bunch.

Thank you, it seems it was Microsoft edge browser wasn't working, that menu didn't show up at all, so I downloaded Firefox and it worked on there.

After a google it seems there is a share button on Flickr, but when I click it the box is empty, seems this new Microsoft edge isn't working right, so I downloaded firefox and the button now works, so testing to see if the images show up in a post, sorry in advance if they end up wrong. 4 by...

Have 4 photos which I uploaded to Flickr but I am not sure how to add them to this post? this is the link for the album https://www.flickr.com/photos/135700266@N03/albums/72157657669755542 How do I add them to the posts on here?

Well little update, New camera has arrived, couple of things I didn't expect. Has more weight to it than I thought from looking at pictures of the camera, but feels lovely in my hand, except my nose hits the screen on the back when I look through the view finder :) More buttons than I...

Thanks for the reply, some of the photos that I have really enjoyed looking at have been off things like abandoned buildings, close up of images that make the photo look alien. After looking through the photos here I have seen some fantastic black and white photos, some of people some of places...

Good luck with your op, hope its not serious and thanks again for your help, I will take you up on your offer when I get stuck with my new camera :)

thank you some good tips, especially the one to make sure I only ever work on a copy, simple things like that I didn't even think off.

I have no idea what the different cards mean, luckily another member from here has offered to send me a card to help me get started, I was going to google what the cards are and what I need to have, so if you cold point me in the right direction, that would be fantastic!

Ty for the in depth replies all, I have took the plunge and got my self the kit listed above, very excited. Tomorrow I will be watching video's on the basics, as i haven't a clue and hopefully by the weekend out and about talking my first pics, if everything arrives by then. Thanks again and i...

Been looking at that website, wife is going to kill me already i think ;) would this be a good starting setup ? Canon EOS 40D Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II Just a 3rd over my budget, but i am sure she will understand when I take some stunning photos of...

Yea, looking at that website you suggested and also had a PM saying the Fuji Fujifilm Finepix S3 Pro is a good starting point, I will be honest I am completely lost when trying to compare different cameras theres 2 on s3 pro's on ebay but i am a little worried about the lack of info on one of...

Haven't really decided on what I should be taking snaps off, I think walking around my local area and talking some landscapes could be a good starting point or photos of the family / dogs maybe, think I want to try a bit of everything while I learn. I think the main thing is to find a starting...

Thanks for the warm welcome, I don't have a camera at the moment, but hoping after some advice to be getting one real soon. Low fell isn't too far away at all, think we are quite lucky in the North East as we have a bit of everything around us.

Thank you for your replies. With regards budget I was thinking a couple of hundred pounds to start, after googling it seems my budget is low compared to the price of some cameras, trying to find a middle ground, learn to walk before running comes to mind, but I don't mind saving up for...
