Lovely shots - I especially like #3.

I like it. If I had the know-how and time I'd probably PP out the fence, crane and grass! :D But I really like it.

Lovely shots. I think the first two (woodpecker?) are my favourite.

Thanks all! :D Maybe just a little bit ;) But it would also be nice to have a smaller, more portable camera for days out. TBH I don't fully trust my clumsy husband with my pride and joy :lol:

Not voice activated, but I recently got a Sony ICD-PX312 from Amazon (http://amzn.to/K4xKlm) and I have to say the sound quality is excellent. I recently recorded some lectures I was at from about 6 rows back from the front, with lots of background noise, and you could still hear the lectures...

Just had a 2nd look and I've done a quick and dirty edit. I think this looks a lot more stylish - like a Colin Prior shot and I think you see more of the landscape too.

It's nice, but I think the problem with taking shots of sunsets is that you have to be careful of losing all sense of focus. They're so beautiful IRL and any time I've tried to shoot (from the top of Wye downs, for instance, where you should get a beautiful shot) just ends up looking a bit...

I started with a Canon 350D which I picked up on eBay and the standard 18-55mm lens. It was a small outlay initially, but enabled me to build up my lens collection. I've now moved up to the Canon 40D which still suits me, and I've exchanged and upgraded lenses too. I think the 350D / 18-55mm is...

I have a Canon 40D which I love, and an assortment of lenses. However, my husband and other family members font share my love of photography and whenever we go out for family days, any pictures they take (e.g. of my son and I) end up being ... shall we say ... unusable! ;) I really need a...

The composition is off, for me. Cutting the right hand side of the stone off is very distracting. The colours are nice, however, I wouldn't have composed it in the same way. Nice spot though. Keep practicing.

The second one is good. The birds are a bit lost in the first one, unfortunately. But it's not an easy subject!!

Nice shot!

Nice set. I agree the last one is a bit too cluttered, but I like the others. If it were me, I'd play around with different composition next time as I find them all a bit "central" for my liking. But a nice set!

Thanks all :)

So it's not worth the extra £250 for the 3.1?
