Well we at last had some fleeting sun today and I went out with my "New to me" camera and attempted to take a picture. Here are the first, when I take my head from under the pillow I will peek at your response.

I think the best place to start is by reading the book that comes with your camera. You wouldn't believe all the good stuff that's in there--and all the functions your camera likely has. Make your focus on one area and try blurring the rest out. Makes your focal point really stand out.

The one of the puppy with the chickens is precious.

Thank you, My son bought me a course on how to use the camera I have, when it gets here I will dive in and see what happens.

Thank You. I am looking forward to really using this camera. My last camera was a Minolta SLR film camera that I have not used for years.
the new digital format is exciting to say the least.

Good pictures but need a little more light and less shadows.

All good comments and I will attempt to put them to use

Thanks to all

For initial shots with a new-to-you-camera, they're terrific shots - no need to appologize! I like the dog with the rooster confronting each other. Hopefully, your dog didn't get stung by the bees - pups are a curious bunch - ours always learned the hard way, when we let them!
Also, you might contact the manufacturer's archives for a download of the owners' manual. Sometimes, you can also find them on eBay! LOL
