No! It's the same one , but I'm becoming better aquainted with it.
I have also been fortunate enough to have had some tips from Archie Anderson, and feel very fortunate in that respect.
He is totally Premier League, and if I'm honest, I'm way down the pecking order.

I thought i recognized a bit of Archie in that!

I need to get a new camera before I come. What do you/he suggest?

Bobbie
I use a Canon 30D, and find it suits me. I also use a Canon Sureshot for work and for ease of carrying and ideal for the quick snap. It's a great wee camera, but everyone has their opinions about what is good and what isn't. Not certain what Archie uses, but Nikon seems to ring a bell.
Mind you, Quasimodo rang bells too, but I've never seen any of his photo's :D

I wouldn't like to advise anyone on what is good or bad camera's, as they are all very efficient these days. Main thing is to just get out and about taking your pics, and enjoy them.

Forgot to add that my Canon 30D is a Digital SLR.

Thanks for your kind comments on the photos.

Nice photo Pete, :) Taken at my favorite place to take seascapes and sunsets.
Use an Neutral Density Filter, Slow the shutter speed and of coarse a Tripod.

This photo was taken last month, After an hour shooting different parts of the beach waiting for the sun too break through.
My favorite at the moment :)

Lovely jfm. There's always a chance to catch something round that area, and a Thermos of coffee eases the waiting time.
Slipped off a rock round there about a year ago, and was soaked to my knees, but still sat until I got what I wanted. That one I called "Jetstream over the setting sun". I felt it was worth the wait.
Maybe see you round there sometime!
