Stoat?

?? no-one have any opinions about any of the tough compacts ont he market?

Cheers for all the advice guys, got a hard choice to make now. New small river fly fishing rod (just broke mine) or the wildlife lens........... think the lens is edging it at the moment.

I do a lot of fishing and as a result spend a lot of time smashing through undergrowth and submerged in water, laying on rocks etc... My poor little Canon compact has now taken all it can of the abuse involved in trying to get shots in these circumstances and after the latest in a repeated line...

No worries, just hope this is not as serious as it sounds, hopefully immunity can spread and all will be fine. Dont like the idea of a land with less finches.

yup read about the disease too http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14974236 link to a news report about it

Just seen his website and some of the pics on there are really good, think the selection of the bbc editor was a huge mistake.

Am I missing something with these? I am very new to photography but they do absolutely nothing for me?! Composition is a bit iffy and the blurry shot is awful, also black and white pics to record an era famous for its bold colours seems an odd choice to me. The only pic I liked from the set...

Cheers for the replies, is ebay the place to look for the secondhand lenses?

Cheers guys I am shooting with a Canon 40d so will have a look for the contrast settings, sure they will be in there somewhere

Very new to photography and just about finding my feet with how to use the camera properly and composition exposure etc... I have one niggling problem that has presented itself a couple of times now. I have been shooting showjumping in very bright weather and in order to get a nice exposure...

Cheers guys for the positive comments, off to the ganme fair in a minute so hopefully plenty of opportunity to practice some more. Flies were very graatefully received mate, already trying to figure out a way to tie that varnished wing pattern on a size 16, looks amazing but doubt any of the...

Got my first dSLR yesterday and took it out for a spin today. Got a long way to go before I produce images as good as those on here but thought I would share some anyway. Any advice on where I need to improve will be greatly appreciated! Really stumbling in the dark at the moment...
