Hi guys:)
You may be wondering who is this Midgimoo woman that's come on and posted a pic in the weekly challenge and I apologize for just bowling in and doing so.

I live in New Zealand on a small-holding on which I breed, raise and train Jersey cows for the lifestyle market. I really love photographing the lovely girls and their calves. A chap who saw some of the photos I was taking with my A 80 offered me space on his Rural Photo Library website if I could capture the same quality photos with an 8 megapixel camera. I now have a Pro1 which, being after being a 'point and shoot' girl for two years, is taking a bit of getting used to. I'm an absolute beginer so don't be surprised by any silly questions that I may ask :oops:

Now, it could be that my new glasses just need adjusting, but I'm finding that the Pro1 images don't appear to be as sharp on my screen as what the A80 pix were:confused: I have only used auto, as at this stage I have very little understanding of manual settings and at present I don't have much free time to learn more. Would the 'not as sharp on the screen' image have something to do with the difference in size of megapixels?

I'll sign off now before I embarrass myself further.
Cheers
