Talking Hi from Kay

Hi All,

My name is Kay and I am a 44 year old mother of 3. My husbands company have a photo comp every month and it has got me clicking away.

I have always enjoyed photography and love my digital frame to display them all on. I have a canon EOS 300D and a canon ixus.

Hi Kay,
Welcome to the club. Just by being here you are already giving yourself the advantage within your husbands photo comp. All you will need to know you can learn from within these doors. Great to see another canon user. (Andy will like that)
Lots of friends here, enjoy and have fun.
Best regards....Phil

Hi Barry and Phil,

This months comp is motion/movement. I am torn between a fast shutter speed to freeze the action or a slow one to get some blur in the background.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Where are you located Phil......you can't be too far from us?

Hi kay
welcome to the forum.
Why not use both , a slow shutter speed to get blur and a flash to freeze the subject
Look forward to seeing some pics

Thanks for the reply James,

I am a complete amateur so is it relatively easy to do?

Am on the laptop at the mo but as soon as I win the fight with the kids for the other PC I will begin to upload some of my photo's. (they're not brilliant but i enjoy taking them)
