|
Thought I'd share a few photos I've taken at home in Falkirk and when I went to uni down in Oxford.
I'm half thinking of upgrading my camera (currently have a Minolta Dynax 5D) but wouldn't know where to start. Anyway here are a few shots I've managed to get with my current and old cameras...
Lesser black-backed gull chicks
Beeeee
Orange tip butterfly
Cormorant
Grey seal
Fox
And taken with old Minolta Dimage Z3
Great spotted woodpecker
Muntjac deer
Common vole
Any C&C is welcome along with any advice on a likely replacement for my Dynax 5D!

Phwoar well I'd be willing to pay up to £700 on the camera not including a lens (which I assume would cost me a couple of hundred for a decent one?). I think the minolta cost me around £500 and that was with a 80mm lens (I think). |

You have certainly taken some lovely photographs, I especially like the bees. Beware photography seems as addictive as reptiles/amphibians  - so dont say nobody warned you
