Thanks

Theres a big batch going on sale in a shop round the corner from me this weekend. Crossing my fingers it goes ok - will help pay for mods i can't afford at the moment!

what camera is it you are using? excellent pictures.

Its a Nikon D80 with the 18-135 lens, although a few of those photos were taken with my old D50.

I thought it was that camera - its a superb piece of photographical equipment I'm getting one later this year

sounds a good camera lol

i have a Sony alpha 100. i think before i start taking proper pictures like yours i will need a better lense. mine says 18-70 on it, if that means owt?

Just the numbers don't mean a lot Pip. The quality of the lens depends a lot of how good the glass is that goes into making it. Generally with photography as with most things, you get what you pay for. I had the cheapest kit lens (18-55) with my Nikon D50 and the difference between it and my new lens are impressive. It is significantly heavier but pictures produced are sharper and clearer.

well the sony alpha 100 is menna be one of the best d-slr camras. the picture quality is amazing with the lense i got with it. it cost 800 with the lense so it can't be that crap a one? lol

My camera and lens cost about the same. The thing with DSLR's is that they possess the ability to take amazing shots if you know the correct way to set them up. I'm still learning all the different settings, but I remember when I got my D50 just over a year ago and I took some awful pictures because I had no idea what any of the setting did!

yeah i've only had mine since jan and still elarning, i don't know if you saw the pictures i took the other day? i posted them in here.. Club House » Been out practising with my new camera > page 2 halfway down.

what ya think?

Looking good Pip, My favourites are the last 2, really like the reflections in the water on one of them and you've managed to get your dog looking right into the camera - I always fail dismally with my cat, he doesn't do posing!

i like taking that type, i'm good at them lol

still learning others though. need to read the book i got with..

You really do take some amazing photos bryony!!

Cograts on the site going live!

yesterday i bought myself the Sony Alpha 100, i've been waiting since like august for the price to drop and i don't think it was going to for ages so i thought "what the hell!"

with my discount it came to £440, bit of a bargain if u ask me

its basically a Konica Minolta 5D, sony and KM joined forces, and then KM shut down leaving the technology to Sony. Sony then develpoed and improved certain aspects and changed their names!

wooop same camera as me, it's good init
