So...
Got the camera out of the box
what next?

quick read of instructions... sun is out!
nip out into the garden

don't even know what buttons to press

macro setting it says (let's have a go says I)

A couple of hours wandering the garden, and well here are the results.

It was quite windy, all hand held, no tri-pod yet.

Bloody long wait for the breeze to die down enough to snap away on some of um.

I will read the instructions and see what settings to use.
It is set to auto by default... I know I need a quicker shutter speed, Cos. most of the dragon flys came out very blurry... mind you it may have been the wind and a shaky hand.

I loved it! can't wait to have another go.
