Our local council held a competition to take photographs of local landmarks in the evening. A great opportunity to learn about using torch light to enhance parts of a picture taken in the evening.

The Newbie - Things I didn't know No 1: Posture and camera grip
Testing out the camera |
That was where I started. This is a generous group and I have learnt a thing or two since I began.
Not all tripods are created equal
(Reposted) I’ve often told my students that sometimes a cheap tripod is better than no tripod at all, but I’m starting to rethink that philosophy. A few years back a well-meaning lady friend bought me lightweight tripod from Aldi as a gift. From memory, I think it retailed for around $25 at the time. It is lightweight and easy to carry and came in a neat little sleeve with a carry strap. I have used it a few times, mostly indoors or on still days and I always thought it was adequate with my small Olympus C-750 bridge camera.
