You are welcome.....I used to be a bit of a bird watcher when I was growing up.
I still like to spot birds now and again, but my vision is much less reliable these days.

A trip to Manchester Airport to collect the wayward holidaymakers. I decided to visit the Runway Visitor Park to pass the time and get into anorak mode. The final 2 pics are the delayed flight from Heathrow which I was waiting for.

Back to Lake Garda last week when my nephew and his friend who were visiting from NZ. A selection of photos from that day out - we went to Sirmione and visited the Roman site right on the edge of the headland know as "Le Grotte di Catullo" (photo of an aerial photo depicting the place included to give a better idea of where it is!) it is an amazingly suggestive site with fab views.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I'm wondering if anyone can help,I've stumbled across a slight issue with regards to taking photo's, Whenever i use any zoom my pics turn out 'goosed' :confused:

Examples:-

1.No zoom Attachment 49037...with zoom Attachment 49038Attachment 49039.

What can it be? broken component? A setting issue?

2. More examples:- Attachment 49040Attachment 49041

Re: Today in pictures
 

Could be that when you extend the lens it lets light in. It's not an easy fix.
Try taking the same shot a few times. each time extend the lens a little further.
Have you another lens to try or are you using a bridge camera?

Re: Today in pictures
 

It has me baffled (not hard,i know).... it happens every time i use zoom (even slightly),yet its fine without :confused:.
I don't have a lens as such due to it being a "bridge camera" G, i'm wondering if something has broke inside or our peg has messed with the settings.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Are you using an auto setting?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yes,i know manual is better but i prefer auto ;)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Only seen something like that on a laptop screen, and it had a bad connection.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Does it look like that through the viewfinder as well.

Re: Today in pictures
 

There is nothing wrong with auto unless you are being really experimental.
The reason I asked about automatic is that in the zoomed images seem to have a higher ratio of light shades than the ordinary shots. Is it possible the compensation settings have been altered.
Does it give you that effect on all zoomed images?
