New Camera

[smy_749]

Thanks guys. I already bought a tripod, I just don't like to use it :P I can't be bothered to carry it around and set it down hahaha Also I have serious shakes so the elbow trick doesn't work. Even if my entire arm is supported, my hands still shake. I even tried resting the camera down on my knee, but when I go to take the trigger it usually shakes and makes it blurry haha.

Shakes or not, you will be best to use the tripod on them distance shots mate

You gave me camera fever, went out and bought a second hand FinePix s5800, just need to learn how to get the best out of it. £50 with bag and lenses.

Do you fish that river ?

Lovely photo

Thanks, I used to fish the river. Occasionally we get striped bass coming through and what not. I used to fish everyday, now I never go anymore...The other side behind me in the river pictures is a man made canal that runs for about 10 miles with a trail. Lots of wild life (otters, lots of turtles including some monster snappers), snakes, bald eagles (I haven't seen any while there but saw some from the other side of the river looking at the trail , go figure haha). But yea its a nice trail, I think I went a bit early to see any reptiles..was about 6 or 630 when I got there.
