Thank you.

Some more beginner experiments with my Canon 40D. Just loving taking photos. :) (y)

I call this one the "Rusty Nail".

Latest attempt at some macro.........

Todays efforts experimenting with AV mode, Sigma DC EX 18-50mm lens. The riverside cottage. The bridge to nowhere....... The view from the bridge to nowhere......

My latest, trying Aperture Priority mode on my 40D. Canon EF-S 8-250mm IS STM lens. View: https://www.flickr.com/photos/201098497@N08/53861151519/in/dateposted-public/

Thank you. I will. I feel so enthusiastic for this new found digital freedom. I realise I am behind the times but I love it. Tomorrow I am hoping to catch a train to the coast just to take photos. It is my new expedition in life. (y)

Thanks. Advice taken on board. I was lucky lately getting a boxed secondhand 40D in mint condition with two lenses and a very low shutter count of 6290 for a 100 quid. It is a very nice camera. (y)

I always look at my photos. As a beginner who hasn't taken photos since my Dad gave me a Pentax 35mm camera 52 years ago, I just love looking at my collection of beginner digital photos, sometimes pathetic photos. I just love taking photos. Of anything I can. The joy of having almost unlimited...

Oh I'll be keeping my minty, low shutter count 40D. I love it. (y)

The 7D is probably my next purchase. If I can find one at a reasonable price. I prefer the heavier well made cameras.(y)

Thank you for the welcome. What I like about the 40D is its size and weight and build quality. My friend has a more modern 18mp Canon EOS, can't remember the model but its so light and plasticky compared to my 40D. :)

I am experimenting with some of the other settings. Really enjoying my new hobby. My conifer tree this morning in the rain.
