Can you give all the setting you had Ray ?, camera settings - did you use tripod - and i`m assuming in was very bright today where you are .

This shot is whole lot better than the others you have posted so far so dont be dissolusioned yet ...

One more thing - you would have to get used to fixing your images after you have saved them onto your computer, this is called post processing and everyone does it (most people anyway) - there arent many images that come straight out of the camera perfect ...

here the are gordon i took it in TV mode

PS I USED A TRIPOD

[QUOTE=grandadraymond]​PS I USED A TRIPOD

And what about the tripod ? - because you cant really hand hold a shot like this - its always going to look blurry.

Personally Ray i wouldent use TV mode - i always shoot in manual mode with setting like this :- ISO50 maybe a two second exposure and F8 with the in-built ND filter set to on.

As for the ducks - not a good idea when you are doing a timed exposure.

The shot isent too bad for the length of time you have been using the camera, i edited it slighty in my graphics package and it looked lots better ...

One more thing Ray - do you know how to time the shutter so it releases after so many seconds when you have pressed the button ? .

Because the action of pressing the button can cause your images to be slightly blurry also, especially if the its on unstable ground ...

no

Did you use the remote release.
It looks like you may have been touching the camera or tripod to get that much camera shake.

or timer is also good right? i think when it's windy, it also affects the outcome of the picture. I'm just starting with my G6 and I'm happy with "P" mode. I think it takes awhile for me to be artistic. I just edit it with Photoshop.

what is remote release is it on the camera

is there anybody near me who would like to go out with me for a day and show me the ropes i will pay all your expenses for the day
ray

Can you find the part in yor manual regarding timing the shutter release Ray ? ...

yes, it comes with G6. it's small about 2"x1" with 4 buttons I think (I don't have it right now). Just double check the box.
