Some shots I took at the weekend - had to be up at 05:15 to get there to catch the sunrise; (and my first post of my photos)

EDIT: Photos can now be found at www.flickr.com/photos/martinturner







Edit: Yay, I have finally managed to get them to display within the post!  Hope you enjoy them; comments always appreciated.  Or you can say hi by way of my flickr account //www.flickr.com/photos/martinturner

Tis all about getting out and snapping away, the more you do it the better you get.  These were taken with my Fuji S5600

the camera is just a tool, its the person holding it who takes the photo. Ive seen some pretty amazing shots taken with a disposable, its all about knowing how to use what youve got.

great shots mrt, I like the first one particularly.

True, people need to get out and use their cameras to take photos, lots of them, and think of what they are photographing, how it will look, direction, positioning.

A superzoom bridge camera, like the Fuji S5600 or Panasonic fz20, is quite capable of putting out photographs of a similar quality to an SLR. In most cases its what you do with it rather than what you have.
