My nephews came to visit and I took the opportunity of playing my Nikkon D3000 to try to get to grips with it as I feel like I'm struggling with the basics at the moment. After taking numerous shots of a rather eager William I decided to try the macro function on the camera and leave him to his exploration of the garden and it's imagination adventures.

I found a camel toy in the garden and on setting it on the dustbin to take some experimental shots, William decided he would hijack the photo by silently moving into the shot so I decided to entertain him and give him one more photo.

Spiders. I did not like spiders mainly because for their size they move like a ferrari from a standing start. However, when I decided to test the macro function on the Fujifilm FinePix A510, a spider in the room seemed an ideal candidate.
