I see I've some way to go.
So I got my new Compact Camera, Panasonic DMC-TZ60 as I referred to in my previous post.
As one who's photography skills end at Family snapshots I have some way to go, especially when I see those wonderful pictures taken by Mangizmo in his thread Examples from a £99 camera. Great little camera but a great amount of skill there too. I took a few shots on my early morning walk on Cleethorpes front. The light was poor and I just left it in IA mode. I will be trying to learn how to use it in some manual modes next time. The camera does have an impressive zoom and I am looking forward to using this on a nice bright day.

Some very nice shots there for your first time out with your new camera
Watch out to keep those horizons straight, easily rectified post capture

Now I have to work out how to do this "post capture". All advice, greatly appreciated.

Rule of thirds can help with composition, so horizon third of the way at the top or bottom and apply the same to any subject object in the frame. It tends to make a more balanced and pleasing composition, rules are there to be broken though Some cameras will overlay a grid over the image helping you to keep horizons straight and to compose where objects are in the frame. If you have the facility on your camera try it out, it's very useful. As for correcting post capture, it depends on what image processing software you are using but it's usually a very simple operation. Just remember though if you straighten an image you will loose some of the foreground in the shot

Some good pics there!
Looking at the shots of the pier and the prom railings, I can see you have keen eye for composing pictures. Having said that, I'm certainly no expert and have picked up loads of tips from the Photography Corner Keep the pics coming!

It seems that logic went straight out of the window when I was playing with the camera. Thanks for getting me back on track.
