A Walk Around Warwick
No Flash used and only a tweak or two to straighten up a couple of photos. Amazed at how much the camera copes even with poor light conditions. Apart from the flowers shots the camera was in Auto Mode and hand held.

I loved the photo of the fritillaries. My second favourite flower next to the Bluebell! Lovely Carl. And the stained glass windows were stunning weren't they?

Yes we love the Fritillaries - I saw a meadow full on them at Weston Sub-Edge some years ago.
I was not able to get photos of the large windows that really do them justice so will return one day when the sun is still shining. I was surprised how happy they were for people to take photos actually telling us we could rather than us having to ask.

Beautiful photos Carl. I particularly love the way you have captured the interior.I could almost sense the peace and quiet if it wasn't for a noisy tractor in the field next to us.
I am never successful with dark interiors like churches. I have a simple Digital FinepPix 2600Zoom bought about 7 years ago. Do you know of an inexpensive camera that would help me with dark interiors.

Have you tried turning off the flash Lottie? This might force the camera to expose longer - the drawback being you will need to hold the camera very steady. The camera I now use has Image Stabilising which compensates for shake to a degree. To be honest when the photos are enlarged on screen it can be seen that they are not as sharp as they could be.
Take a look through the pinned notices up above for recommendations.

Thanks Beau, I know nothing about the technical side of photography. I have only ever owned a aim and shoot type camera. I did not realize that holding the camera steady would affect the light. I will certainly try this. I will also try Carl's suggestion regarding the flash. Watch this space!

Lottie the camera you have has a pretty good spec and will still give good results. My friend used similar when in Oz a few years back and had one of his photos printed out at near poster size and it looks great. Using a tripod would certainly help in low light conditions but many places will not allow their use. You may get away with a Gorillapod in say a church whereas a full blown tripod would be a no no. The benefit being to cut out any shake as you take the picture. Flash effectively freezes any movement but cast shadows and does not reach all that far (despite what folk at open air concerts may think). The following were taken on cameras without the benefit of anti shake technology. The first is on a film SLR and the other on a camera with a similar spec to yours. togs.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=arts&action=display&thread=34649togs.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=arts&action=display&thread=34657
