Oly Nickname: Henry Falkner
I live in Devonport, Auckland, New Zealand, which is at the bottom-left of the Pacific Ocean.

Camera Models: Sandra still uses the D-490ZOOM P&S camera. It works for her. The C-750UZ was used here from 2003 to 2007, it is now with her daughter's boyfriend. The Stylus 800 took over from the D-40 as a pocket camera. The SP-550UZ has become a backup. Since April 2008 the SP-570UZ is the camera I take everywhere. I have photographed birds - sitting down and in flight - aircraft, buildings, flowers, ships, amateur radio amd Morris dance events, even some glamour (the lady s now my business partner).

I use the movie modes extensively. During Morris dance engagements the cameras take videos when mounted on the accordeon as I am playing.

Software: I use PSE2 with the 'NeatImage' plug-in for noise control.

Advice for Newbies: I can give advice on some matters photographic and otherwise, but I have no universally applicable bits of wisdom.
