    Thanks everyone. At the minute the only food I’ve got is dry meal worm. The birds in my garden go mad for it so thought it might be best to use. Been putting them in nooks and crannies in the trees and on the odd fence post or two.

    Beginner Shutter speed feedback (question)

    Just had a look on my settings and I've been taking them in JPEG i think? Should I be taking them in a different setting for a better picture?

    Beginner Still have blur and exposure issues (relatively new at this)

    Hi Just wondering if someone can give me some pointers? These are a few pics i took yesterday. As you can see they're a bit blurry and the bottom ones exposure is really bright.

    North England Hello from Bury

    Hi Bought a camera a few months ago as wife fell pregnant and wanted to take some nice pictures of the kids. Turns out taking nice photos is harder than it looks :D I’ve got a canon 350D DSLR and a couple of lenses. The camera is pretty old (£50 on eBay) but hoping to upgrade in a few months...
