Okay I've had my rant for the day... now it's time to play. 
While I was out yesterday I couldn't resist having a bit of fun with the sun, a lump of rock and a contra-jour shot...
What do you think? Too much? Not enough? I know contra-jour isn't to everyone's taste.

Pro It might be worth having a good old play with the camera you've got before investing in a new one. That said, technology has come on leaps and bounds recently.
I'll be happy to offer some advice on a future purchase when the time is right. Just let me know. 
I currently have a kodak Easyshare C310.I think its 4mega pixel thingys!!
Yes,when i get a new one, i will pick ya brains about what to get!! thanks hun xx

Pro The Kodak range are decently built cameras, so you didn't do badly there. Here's a tip... don't get caught in the hunt for the biggest number of mega pixels - there are far more important factors to take into account.
Happy to help in any way I can.
I got the camera as a christmas present 2 years ago,came with a printer dock aswell,prints quality photos,just wish it had a proper 'zoom' on it! The mega pixel thing goes way over my head...too technical for me LOL 
Hope fully will get a new one before my holiday(August) so can catch those special moments with the girls!! Soppy ain't i LOL xxx

Pro Not soppy at all... we all need our memories and photographs are a huge help in that way.
like the photo but no idea what a contra-jour is. Sorry

Pro Contra-jour - the literal translation is against the day.
It means you deliberately point your camera towards the sun, which of course we all know is something you never do... 
h'ok! makes sense now. Still think its pretty.

Pro Well that's the main thing.

Pro Thank you MM.

I don't see why contra-jour photography is so frowned upon. I find it makes for some interestingly emotive imagery.
Well, in my opinion anyway.
Great photo!

Pro I guess the technique needs to be learned so is best avoided by the absolute novice, but can produce some interesting results.
Thanks NB.
They actuallt do it on the TV all the time to great effect.
I like it!
Great shot mate!!
