Really nice portrait shots. Nothing like a new toy. :)

It depends where with the South Coast. We were at Engadine, a lovely quiet suburb in the middle of the National Park. But like everywhere it grew and grew, and the council wouldn't say no to units or villas, duplex on too many corners, and added no extra parking. It's happening everywhere. Look at The Entrance, the council is giving permission for more units to be built, but other units that have been up for sometime can't be sold, no ones interested. Actually that could be some good topic photos in that. So many Mum and Dad homes in the shadows of multi story units next door.

Thanks guys. :) Yes the Coast is over crowded. I want to move big time. We moved from South because of over crowding, now it's happening here very quickly.

With all the great info you've already received I'll just my little bit. As a beginner myself I would suggest a tripod or a monpod, it just helps with movement that being shown in some of your shots. Definately shutter speed is too slow, it's a personal choice but I like 125+. I too have taken a photographic course and yes it can be too much to take in, in such a short period. I found going out trying all different settings and writting it all down was one of the most helpful things. So when you download them you can refer back and see what happened with the different settings. Plus if you weren't sure put the camera on auto and have a look at its' setting and fiddle around those numbers. And as I say, if in doubt use Auto. Auto being my favourite setting also. Then when you have your shots, then comes editing for all your wonderful memories............ :laugh: Good luck........... :)

Thx Pers. I had another 12 to add but thought it was enough, my files are getting so large with all these photos. lol Thx Sharon :)

Hi All These were taken as Long Jetty and Norah Head, here on the NSW Central Coast.

Love of Cockers, full of life. :)

Looking forward to seeing them, and don't hold back we want LOTS............. :)

I had a dream last night that a dog of mine had 5 puppies and one was HUGE....so I'm saying she's having 5 puppies. :laugh:

What do you say to such cuteness.......great photos.

Oh Shelby, sorry to hear. My thoughts and prayers with you all. :heart: :heart:

Two photos that tell great stories. Thx for sharing.........

Thx for that tip gapvic, yes they are local here. Something to put on the to do list. :D

So sweet.........

Thx for the explanation. Would love to watch that, and yes take a photo or two. :laugh: And yes love the photos they tell an interesting story.

Nice shot, she looks likes she's enjoying the cuddle as much as you. :)

Look at the size of the legs. He's gorgeous.... :)

It takes a lovely photo. No lenses with it, I have a nikon D50 so I'm leaving lens on each so I don't have to keep changing them with the one camera. A great buy for $180. Now all I need is a Macro, Telescopic, and the little one (can't remember the mm's), Oh and to win lotto to buy it all. :laugh: We've had a horrible weekend so haven't really touched it. Thx for asking Tic........... :)

Yes it's a print out 750 odd pages. But I couldn't believe it when she handed it over. :laugh:

Hi All Had to share this. Just purchased a second hand D80. When I was looking in to this camera the owner said it came with an extensive manual. Never did I think it would be this large. As you can see from the photo, I have a couple helping me out. :laugh:

Funny how dogs are willing to give almost anything a go. Nice shot. Where was this? Yes a sticky beak. :laugh:
