Very touching. Thank you.

You said the right thing there, Doddy. That would appeal to the Scotsman in my husband (Bob).

I like it too but I'm biased. :D

Hi again. I think I mis-read your comments, hence the mention of the UV filter. My husband (dragonking) says we do have a polaroid filter that I can use.

Thanks, Lenf :D

I am really pleased with the camera. It does have a UV filter fitted and I think the haze etc is due to the distances in the landscape images. E.g. the one of Roseberry Topping is at least 20 miles away from where I was. With the naked eye, you could just about see Roseberry Topping but on the photo it came out a lot better.

Thank you. At the moment I basically point and shoot but I try to get a decent arrangement together in the frame.

Thanks. Will do.

Thank you. I am using a Lumix FZ150 with 24x zoom.

Hi again. I promised some photos and here they are. Taken at Preston Park, Stockton-on-Tees on a day out.

Thank you for all the 'welcomes'. I'll try to post some photos soon!

I am definitely a beginner. I haven't any photos to show - yet! Watch this space.
