I am loving our Friend JL Matterer's masterclass in photography and all the tips

I personally use a NIKON Coolpix A100 camera, affordable and really easy to use.
I mostly take pictures in natural day light which can be tricky where I live by the Thames but do avoid taking pictures of miniatures and Playmobil in direct sunshine as it obliterates the colours and details.
The autofocus function was a lifesaver for me as I used an old Praktica camera back in the days which did not have one and had me swearing more that I can possibly say even if I still love it to bits
