I'm surprised just how many of these things survive in my garden after the carpet of blue pellets I put down I caught this one streaking across a garden table, not bad quality for a mobile phone.

At least we can tell what this is. Unlike that abstract you posted a while back on the other place that was supposed to be a bird of some sort...

(I'm back home again. Been out four times today. How about you, Martin?

)

Only the walk down by the canal and I did go out an buy sausages and bacon, all the important food groups

I'm in the house all the time like an agrophobic. Plus time on the computer trying to think up wise cracks....I'm home alone !!!

I have also been sorting out my tackle for next weeks trip to Holland and it doesn't all fit into the bag so I will need to take out the kitchen sink and the taps.

Here's another pic from my mobile of bird (can you spot it ?)down by the canal taken a few months ago.

I love canals, a bit of green belt in the concrete jungle.

There's not many in my locality

I was spoilt for choice when I lived in Nuneaton.

I took this picture of an emerging dragonfly with a Sony Ericsson Cybershot.... Suprising quality for a mobile phone Macro

These phone cameras are getting good these days.

I have an HTC 'smart'

phone 8.0 mega pixels.

One thing I don't like about is the delay after pressing the button same on my average quality digi (£280-ish I think it was) how much do you need to spend to get an instant take like on my old film SLR ? Or is it even a question of money ?

That's called shutter lag and is something you're pretty much stuck with unless you go for a DSLR. Any 'entry level' DSLR will get rid of it - or there's always the secondhand option.

Thanks for that Dave but after reading all that tech speak I'm going to have to lie down with cold compress on my brow...
