Yesterday it looked like there was going to be a colourful Sunset so I used the dawn/dusk setting on the Nikon S9050. This emphasises the oranges and reds which can often be washed out or lost on a general colour setting. They are cropped and tweaked just a little.
For a pocket camera with a typical price of around £125 it would take some beating. If the top range Nikons are comparably better then they are worth investigating.
I meant to mention that Adrian. I took two a few seconds apart of that subject and they both show the same coloured spots. Didn't see any insects. Maybe they were produced in the camera with the Sunlight at a particular angle refracting through the lens elements. Otherwise it might have been an overreaction of the chip if swinging the camera about caused it to look briefly directly at the Sun. No damage either way as shots after this one are clear.
Thank you for visiting. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Any comment, or correction to any information or identification I get wrong, is most welcome. John
A mainly pictorial record of the wildlife and events in my part of Lincolnshire. My garden has two bird nest boxes and a Hedgehog house fitted with video cameras. There are several bird feeders and a large pond attracting a variety of wildlife to the garden.
Most of the pictures in the main part of my Jottings can be clicked on for larger views.
Many of my video clips are stored on my YouTube account.
Thank you for visiting and remember you are always welcome to leave any comments. John.
. For many years I always had my trusty Ricoh XRX SLR with me wherever I went. One day the mirror jammed and repair costs were beyond my reach at that time so that was the end of that.
Now I am retired and have invested in Canon equipment I am able to enjoy a photographic hobby again. These days I concentrate mainly on wildlife and occasional events near to home.
My interest and use of computers extends back to the days of the ZX81 and BBC computer. For many years I used an Atari ST. I wonder if anyone remembers my Atari programs - JCLabel, JCView, etc..
It really is the bee's knees. These are beautiful.

DeleteAre the specks on the one with the lady and dog insects? They aren't any on the others.
