New camera, first pix for C&C - please be gentle

Dilbert75

So I just got my first half-decent camera, after many years of promising myself. I wasn't inclined to spend the extra on a DSLR, so it ended up being the new Fuji S9600 and, despite the French language manual, I've managed a few pictures...

Hoping for a nice comment or two.... or at least not too many bad ones.:o

Nice pics. You can download an English copy of the camera's manual here:

I am always gentle at the first time :-)
Technicaly good. You are learning quickly how to control your tool. I am looking forward to see more pictures.

Cool, keep snapping and posting them up here. Have fun with the new camera.

Thanks all! Just need to sort out my sig now (tried using Ruu's demonstration but its not working for me)

Just pop the below in your signature box exactly as is and you should be away.

Ruu you beat me to it - how do you get it to show in that box though?

Dilbert - some good shots there. You might want to try getting in closer? I find it makes for more interesting stuff. What kind of minimum focus do you get with that?

Edit: ah ok.. code tag..

Ruu_Old

You just use the CODE tag, that way anyone can scroll through it instead of what normally happens when the link moves the page across.

Thanks all for the encouragement - and the help with the sig! Actually tried to get a bit closer to the rose in particular but I kept getting in the way. Have to try and make myself transparent for the real close ups!
