    Why not impress us more, Dave ... [​IMG]

    Going back to you, Cutie ... I'm using a 3.1 (a 2000 model, very up to date me) so a 7 would be excellent let alone anything better. :D What are we up to now 10?

    LoL - That Kodak of yours was the best digital I've had as far as regards colour rendition. We've a few A4 framed photos taken with it. Size ain't everything.

    Dee - What camera are you using? With 7MP and a zoom you should be able to manage some pretty decent Birdie Snaps.

    No!! I'm just getting started :D

    Just wish I could fire away at 3fps like your camera can whis4ey. In 'continuous mode' I could make a cup of tea between 4 frames snap and store :mad:
    I want a DSLR too [​IMG]

    Carry on, Dave!

    Whis4ey, get out and take some more to add to your great collection, instead of drooling over Dave's.

    The competition is on ;) Come on, both of you! [​IMG] [​IMG]

    The sun came out for a short time today so I set up the camera again. (For the techies - I upped the ISO to 200 to try to get a faster shutter)

    They are excellent DaveW, and like you, Rosa, I can never get close either. On the first one in this second lot, you can even see the fine hairs around his beak. The one with the caption is good too, Dave.
