Conditions may not be perfect, but as I have said many times, if you don’t have your camera with you then you may miss some shots.

Now most of the leaves have fallen I have had to look a little harder for a picture of autumn.
As well as presenting photo opportunities which you would miss with a DSLR, a well chosen compact camera can also give some amazing close up results.

If you are thinking of buying a camera and are just getting into photography, why not start with a compact point and shoot – you will be more likely to use it, and its limitations will help you decide what kind of set up you want to spend your serious money on.
