So, hello everyone. I have been meaning to find my way back for a few weeks but it seems always the case that once you stop doing something you wonder how you ever found the time to have done it.
Only now I have at last got my very own 'proper' camera. That significant birthday came and went, and I am the proud owner of a Fujifilm XT4 without a clue how to use it.
Everything in automatic at the moment whilst I work out what is what but I am ready and raring to go.
I know there is a course that several people on 365 have recommended to follow - if anyone can point me in the right direction?
In the meanwhile, I shall post a few from my trip this week to Kathy Brown's Garden. She has a beautiful garden in a local village which she opens to the public every now and then, offering delightful cakes flavoured with rose petal, lavender and all things floral.
Welcome back!! So glad to see you once again!
Congrats on your new 'proper' camera. I am sure you will be enjoying it and learning all kinds of new techniques in no time!
But - just keep it in auto for now until you get the feel for it and then move on.
BTW - the course is called "A Year With My Camera'.
I highly recommend it.
Beautiful colors and light. I understand your doubts because when I moved from a Nikon to a fujifilmxt30 I was completely lost. And I’m still a little, so much so that the Nikon is still around for emergencies. There is an helpful YouTube tutorial for the xt30 and I bet there must be the equivalent for your model. Have fun!
@farmreporter thank you for the lovely welcome back - and for the recommendation. I have signed up. I'm on day one of #make30photos whilst I wait for the weekly email. Let's hope I can stay the course.
@caterina thank you Caterina. It will take time but I will get there. I love the feel of the camera and find it much more comfortable to carry around than I had imagined (I got a great bag). I will, for sure, be looking for help on youtube.
I am sure you are going to have exciting times with your new camera.

You can do it. She takes it step by step and very basic.
you will soon figure out the ins and outs of the camera's functions. but as ann said, just enjoy taking photos and learn as you go. congrats!
