Hunh!? Now I see them all!!!!

Anyway,

I took this pic first before I took the similar one in the first lot of pics but I dont like this one as much - although the focus is the tower I prefer the tower being framed to the side of the picture... thoughts?

okay the last for tonight - its v late!!!

The forst one is using the macro setting

the second I think is just on manual with a forced flash - nothing fancy but I liked the way the light reflected.

The third and fourth - I was trying to frame the photo to get the cross the stained glass windows and the roof all in one. And then took in both colour and b&w.

I have mixed feelings about the b/w vs color...the b/w look so classic but the color shows the stain glass windows...

Wow, Kelda, that pic of the light shining through the stained glass window is exquisite!

My favourites, though, are your black & white pics. Classic!  :D

Kelda, your pictures are exquisite! I can't decide which I like better, the B&W or the color, because I like them both!! I especially like the picture of the stain glass window refecting the colored light on the wall. It's beautiful.

Ireland is a very pretty country. Were the fields green when you were there?

Thank you for sharing your pictures with us. :D

Thanks for posting those pictures Susie!! I love them.

Gosh, I've seen so many pictures of your children I feel like I know them! They're all so cute! :)

Feel free to post some more picture you took Susie. We'd love to see them.

You can purchase a very nice digital camera now for around US $100.00 which is about 50 British pounds I think. You should go to some of your local electronic stores and take a look at some of them. Don't worry about megapixels. Even a 3 megapixel camera will produce full size 8x10 inch film quality photo. I've seen many 5 and 6 MP cameras around here for right around the $100.00 range and they are quite powerful and have many features and goodies on them. You really only need the 8+ megapixel cameras if you plan to print poster size pictures (which would need to be done at the photo store) or if you wish to do alot of extensive post processing. And even the 8 and 10 MP cameras have dropped dramatically in price.

Like I said, don't worry about the megapixels. I know I just rambled on and on about it, but that's just me! ;)

Yeah, pressing buttons, flipping switches and changing settings is half the fun of owning a digital. It's fun to play around and experiment. Those digital cameras are amazing. :)
