some more here from a walk around my house in sheffield, quit interesting old cemetery just near me, post a bit about it
The General Cemetery opened in 1836 'at some distance in the countryside' in a 'remote and undisturbed' location. It became established as the principal burial ground in Victorian Sheffield containing the graves of 87,000 people.
The site today is a Conservation Area, one of only six sites in South Yorkshire. It is listed on the English Heritage Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. More facts about the cemetery:
One of the earliest commercial cemeteries in Britain, it contains some unique catacombs, nine listed monuments and buildings, including the gatehouse, a chapel and the Egyptian gateway, each listed at Grade II*.
There is one of the deepest single grave plots in the country, holding the bodies of 96 paupers.
It is also home to many important figures in Sheffield history such as Mark Firth, the steel manufacturer, and Samuel Holberry, the Chartist.
The cemetery was closed for burial in 1978, when half the cemetery was demolished to make way for a green space.
now in the heart of the posh suburbs hehe

To be fair all the modern compacts are good for what they are designed such as holidays and family shots etc and a decent enough on landscapes but you loose detail. There are some decent entry level Dslr now but you gain bulk for quality.
My Dslr is 8.2 megapixel but the sensor is 22mmx15mm compare this to say a 12 megapixel compact where the sensor is 8mmx12mm you get a lot more detail on mine due to the bigger sensor even though it's less megapixels.
You want to be looking for a wide angle lens for landscapes which most the compacts will have, I always shoot in manual and metre the light myself but these point and shoots nowadays are great for day to day use.
I like the compact canons, Sony and fuji :rock:

Lumix is a good point and shoot job. Anything thats got 'DSLR' in the title really. You want digital as the film versions are expensive to process without your own set up. To start ,your looking at about £450 for a base, low rent model. Best way to start. Find your feet with this type, then you'll know when your ready to move up a level.

We've just bought a new camera to take shots of stone. We have been through 3 photographers and not one of them has really nailed it, so we thought we would try ourselves. That photo Giles took of the boats was absolutely brilliant, would grace any book or magazine
