You’re welcome John B, and please ask away. I’d like to think all three of those things play a part in anything good in my photographs with the other big helps being sheer volume of shots taken, input from other, better photographers and good luck . I do think wonderful shots can be taken without expensive equipment although I love my camera and am very thankful to have it. Just follow that link that John left up above to the Flickr member natureloving. Beautiful photographs with a compact digital camera.

Thanks for this Claire. I’ve been tempted to ask many times whether you amazing photographs were camera, content or technique or what. Either way I reckon you’ve got a great knack for it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, Claire. Now I’ve no excuse for screwing up my snaps other than my lack of an eye for composition, Parkinsons-esque shake and dodgy camera!

Hello Claire

Found your link on Sandys page and had a quick flick back before reading your tips. Your pics are excellent! So therefore I came back to read your tips and they are really good. No jargon or bullshit just good tips! One thing I dont like is people banging on about a load of technical crap that non professional people cant keep up with. So thanks a mill and I will stay tuned

Re, Deborah’s quest for a camera…there is great choice and I agree re. http://www.dpreview.com (that’s how I decided on my Nikon last month),

But I can’t resist pointing you all to a guy on Flickr called natureloving in Paris http://flickr.com/photos/natureloving/ We’ve become pals and swap Flickr e-mails. He’s fairly new to photography but takes stunning shots (albeit simple compositions). His shots get rave comments. He has a tiny Sony Cybershot T9 which would fit in a shirt breast pocket. So the point is – you can do great things with even modest cameras. Don’t spend too much – see if you like it for a year or so and then maybe move on.
