Try 'Aperture Priority' mode for action shots, open the aperture as wide as your lens will allow (set the 'F' number as low as possible) then you'll have to raise the ISO to get a faster shutter speed so you can 'freeze the action' Hope this helps a bit Janny Regards, Rod Janny,

I see what you mean about the winter light. I tried taking some action (fast shutter) shots in Owlets woods of my dog and it kept saying it was too dark. With kids though I struggle to study the manual - they demand attention every time I sit down to have a play grrr! Thanks guys for such a speedy reply; I’m impressed!

You are entering a whole new world with your camera and you will soon realise there is a lot to learn. I love nature and landscape but do occasionally take photo's of other subjects. Like Rod said take a walk around your local area, I know Gainsborough fairly well and you have loads that is worth photographing the thing is sometimes we are in that much of a hurry we miss it, just take it slowly and look at what's around you I bet you find things you have never noticed before. Rod loves his churches and they can be a good starting point you have the architecture of the building ie arches towers etc also they can be a haven for wildlife. Regards. Graham Janny,

Whilst getting to grips with the camera and various settings etc Janny I'd just wander around local areas, look for interesting buildings, shapes, trees, people or objects. It can be a bit tricky at this time of year as they light is often against you Janny that's why I'd wait till spring etc before doing much travelling. There are lots of sections on this site which will show you some great spots to got to Janny, try the history sections , wildlife and nature as well as the photographic. Hope it goes well Janny All the best Rod Janny,

It is a Nikon D300 with a Nikkor 18-55 lens. I live in Gainsborough and am looking for somewhere local to take some training shots as I learn how to use all the features. Do you have any suggestions for a good photogenic area? Many thanks - Janny I’m the lucky recipient of my first digital SLR for Xmas. It is a Nikon D300 with a Nikkor 18-55 lens.

While many of us enjoy our solitude, having such a companion would only enrich one's life. Your amble sounds delightful.
