Thanks for the advice. I'll bear that in mind. I have to learn a lot of things about photography. Technically and aesthetically speaking.

Tip: Click them all with your middle mouse button or while holding CTRL. This opens the images in the background. You will then have all photo's open in a tab. Saves a lot of time compared to click, load... back, click, load... back...

I like them all. And the last ones look very familiar to me. Both windmills and wind turbines are typical of Castilian landscapes too!

Are you still making all this with a kodak compact camera?

Thank you! And yes, I still use my "old little Kodak". And lately a small Lumix too:



I especially use it to photograph large urban buildings, since it has a better focal length to that.

Yes, I know. But first I have to read some book to learn the fundamentals of digital photography and improve my basic skills.

Apart from that, did you know this kind of tripods?

Especially useful at parties.

Don't learn too much. Use your feeling and imagination. You've already got what you need

I honestly never read a book. I just fondled around and read the manuals of my camera's. I did sign up to photosig though and that helped me to learn a lot. You might want to do that too.
But you will need a camera on which you can manually choose shutter speed, diafragma and ISO so you can make pictures the way you want to, not the way your camera thinks is right.
And I'm a Manual Focus guy. You may not be, I don't know

That's great .
I have some of those little tripods with bendly legs. Very handy.
And I'm waiting for a window tripod thing for car windows to arrive
