G+ gave me so many problems, with people not being able to comment I cancelled it, but it also now means I cannot comment on some of their blogs. It is a real pain!<br /><br />I have two cameras, the main one being a Nikon D3200 . Lenses 1) 75 to 300 telephoto which I did not use a lot on holiday and 2) 35mm f/1.8g which most of the photos were probably taken with. It is the cheaper end of the Nikkon range , but still not that cheap. I also have a very cheap Samsung L201 which is what I carry in my pocket when it is a hassle carrying the bigger camera and I have had considerable success with that. The Dordogne is a beautiful spot and I will soon be blogging on La Collanges de Rouge and Rocamadour, two beautiful places which I think are worth a visit to. Also of course Brantome, Sarlat and Les Eyzies are a must see. A few photos can be seen on my other blog dairy that may interest you. http://photodiarydps.blogspot.fr/2014/04/18042014-today-we-drove-home-via.html and at http://photodiarydps.blogspot.fr/2014/04/15042014-left-home-early-and-drove-to.html. I will also be blogging more on the Lot soon which is also a beautiful area. If you should go that far, the Château de Cénevières is worth a visit and a tour. The owner is completely bi-lingual and knows his history, he is also very amusing, Thanks so much for your comments and I hope this helps you somewhat.
