Hi there jim 

Looks a lovelly sunny day over there We had a sunny day Sunday its getting a bit of a rariity over here 

I do believe you have to make 30 posts before the edit facility is open to you it keeps spammers at bay 

Might be teaching you how to suck eggs but if you want to read up on focusing the technical term is hyperfocal distance 

Google is your friend     you tube your guide 

Why would we laugh ?

Try focusing on the second button bottom Left Your lens should be good for low light 
But remember the smaller the aperture number the less is in focus  

Welcome mark 
There are a few on here old in the tooth and a few addled in other departments 
But with age comes experience so any advice needed ask away

Look forward to your images  

Nottingham police (noted for there anti motorist views ) has moved on to sexual harassment including wolf whistles and taking photos without consent (never a force to stop and wonder about the actual laws)

To save you reading it all 

  Examples of this may include unwanted or uninvited sexual advances; physical or verbal assault; unwanted or uninvited physical or verbal contact or engagement; use of mobile devices to send unwanted or uninvited messages or take photographs without consent or permission

This may help in deciding which rusky lens is appropriate ignore the pricing as it is an american site but clicking on an image gives you reams of interesting statistics and facts

What's the worst that can happen?

Don't expect to be blown away with my pics I point, I press, I pray I got lucky.

 

Hi there 

Another one from Yorkshire whoopie 

"Whats the worst that can happen" well you can pick all our brains and then point and shoot could well lead to better pics then onwards towards bankrupcy  

In macro and shooting jittery livestock the further you can get from them the better so as not to spook them, therfore a lens hood isnt a good idea as your lens is now 2" nearer or with extension tubes, which closes down the focus distance, the nearer you can get to them to get them in focus  a lens hood isnt a good idea as it now swamps the subject 

Just an aside 

Whilst some critters will be attracted by there own image in the lens and seem to pose others will react to your big pale hand twisting the lens to focus. Rocking back and forth on your heels, with your lens set to a desirable focus (pre sorted), to get that sharp focus point is often a better option 

Hi Karl welcome to the boards
