Thanks. I've just got a pany FZ28, so not a DSLR, but nearly.
I think I had my polarising filter on for that shot to encourage colour saturation etc...
Cheers Andy.
You're not wrong about the greeks and family etc.
And yes I did enjoy it, even if it was on the quiet side.
Thanks Steve.
As I mentioned to Jake it's the FZ28 by Panasonic.
It has a 27mm to 486mm lens so pretty handy particularly if you're a novice like me, and when going on holiday where you may not want to lug too much gear around - with the Mrs and baby etc.
The new FZ38 is out now - I'll give you the www.ukdigitalcameras.co.uk link to it and a review, and I know the next generation is available at a great price. Both cameras have HD video capabilty too etc.

Naturally if you wanted to achieve amazing pin sharp images, or hand held lower light shots you would need a DSLR with a few lenses. This will be my next step if I continue to have an interest, but anyway the FZ28 or the newer FZ38 is a great starter.
One more thing, no matter what camera you have, be it point & shoot, phone camera, bridge camera (FZ28) or DSLR, nothing but practice and research of a few techniques will invariably help improve the quality of your photography.
For instance, I only got mine this February. Before I had a little point & shoot, but I literally never thought about what I was shooting. This is not the camera's fault - it was mine.
One more thing, I took along with me my little Joby Gorillapod tripod. That's how I took the moon shot. In the past I'd have done it by hand, but it would have been super crap and blurry.
Anyway enough essay anwers for one day
We did thanks Martin.
Cheers col
Quiet???? Just a bit
Anyway, we had a good time and it was pretty much good weather, mid 70s etc. The sea was a bit nippy though
Thanks Alex
