My phone has no idea what the internet or a camera is, but my husband has just 'splashed' out on a new phone and the couple of times I have used it, the photos are reasonable quality. Think they have improved a lot.

I looked for Swamphens in our wetlands in the Algarve, but wasn't as lucky as you, but I would have used my point and shoot method, which has served me well over the years, and I'm absolutely fine with it. I'm no expert, but I am a nature lover, and do the best I can with my hand held camera.

Having been down the advanced photo level, as well as the point and shoot level of equipment, I now have something in between, with the fixed-lens DSLR 'bridge' camera. It is cumbersome though, and not as sharp as I would like it to be. Am thinking of purchasing another wee pocket camera just for local walkabouts. The digital age has ensured that, with a good eye and a thorough understanding of photographic principles, the equipment itself is not the barrier!
