I did a little more mess about with the camera using the manual mode. It is indeed quite impressive what you can do with modern cameras!

Obviously my submission doesn't even come close to the quality seen here already but at least this has been a valuable expereience and also the fact that this camera is noticeably old now as there are dead pixels which can be seen :(

I hope you like this attempt at least :)

Ha ha, just spotted a minor flaw..

Technically Goatform's winning picture wasn't his actual entry as according to the rules, if you post more than one and don't specify your preferred entry by default it will be the last posted picture which should have been the tent one. My bad for not checking Stu's shortlist so as the vote's already done we'll let it ride for this month but must remember to check the list next time..

Also, I'm going to suggest that in future months, anyone who is shortlisted PM's me their chosen topic for the next month in advance and then we won't have a delay whilst the winner picks a new topic as I can set it up as soon as the poll finishes.

I thought did specify that one. IIRC I posted a load, and in my next post said "the second one", or something.

too lazy to look.

I will have a topic soon.
