The more I see of your Optio shots Andrew the more I am convinced I should buy one

Well, I can't pretend it's a rival for a DSLR, Jim, but it does extreme close-ups very well, has a decent zoom range and the images are fairly clean if you shoot at low ISO. I love the fact that you can shoot square or 16:9, it makes you see things in a different way. I used to enjoy using my 6x6 twin lens cameras back before the Boer War...

It's also like the poor: always with us and they're always the best cameras! All for £50.00.
Best wishes,

Andrew

A wonderful image. I find these places fascinating - does this one have prehistoric origins Andrew?

I'm drawn back here whenever we go to Wales, David. It's a small knoll just off Ffordd Bay. It has a small, ancient church now but I can't believe it wasn't used in some way for years before.
Best wishes,

Andrew
