Default Any suggestions?

I'm off to West Cornwall in just over a week hopefully clutching my very first dslr.

Any suggestions for places to go with good photo opportunities for a novice? ie: Spectacular coastlines or animal sanctuaries where the devils don't run away as soon as you open the camera bag!

Hi Anne, if you get anywhere near the sea and waves it would be a good idea to have some sort of filter on the front of your lens, as any splashes or drops of sea water will not do the front element any good.

Anne, can you be more specific about where you are heading, then hopefully I can help you with some locations.
Pete

Good starting place., some stunning coast line Cliffs there, all along that coast is amazing. For captive life, you have got the National seal sanctuary at Gweek, the Bird of Paradise park at Hayle (otters, owls, eagles parrots etc) or drive over to Newquay for the zoo.... There are so many coves, harbours etc to see that you need a lifetime. If you want any help or a coffee, give me or Genese a shout, neither of us bite too hard
Pete
