I'm sure if you're sensible enough, with a combination of being patient you can be fairly safe. <br /><br />Have put an order in one one straight away, can't argue with it at that price if its going to make a noticeable difference, as well as its relative cheapness to the camera itself. <br /><br />Indeed certainly a good point, thanks for the warning. Something I hadn't really considered, thanks for looking out for me :-) <br /><br />I've been having a look through all your photos taken with your various Nikons to try and pick up on some tips and tricks settings wise. Definitely looks like it'll be a fair amount of trial and error until I learn what to set various bits to in what conditions. Very steep learning curve but looks like its going to be a lot more enjoyable than the classic 'point and shoot', we well as being more rewarding at the end of it. <br /><br />@Anon Hehe, the classic question! I'll admit I often think that when I see photos of cameras! That was taken using my phone - a HTC Desire HD which copes surprisingly well for a camera phone.Laurence Mayhewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01619217735699476860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712781400433441765.post-47329177190914791072012-04-28T11:48:17.384+01:002012-04-28T11:48:17.384+01:00So which camera did you use to take a picture of t...So which camera did you use to take a picture of the camera? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712781400433441765.post-61812037236847941392012-04-27T11:02:23.393+01:002012-04-27T11:02:23.393+01:00Good buy Lawrence, however my experience says you&...Good buy Lawrence, however my experience says you've now used up your good 'eBay karma', so what ever you'll buy next time won't turn out so great! <br /><br />I'd get yourself one of these next to improve the contrast of your images and to also cut down stray light and flare: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nikon-HB-45-Lens-18-55mm-Series/dp/B000ZNRBK4<br />It'll also have the side effect of making you look a little bit more 'pro'<br /><br />And don't be fooled into getting a Skylight or UV filter. They are very useful for film, but do nothing on digital apart from creating an extra barrier for the lens, resulting in the sharpness and colour of your images taking a hit. <br /><br />You'll probably feel a lot more conspicuous when using a DSLR in slightly 'stodgy' areas, so make sure to take a bit more care with yourself unless you want to see your new camera in Cash Converters front window later that day!Nicknoreply@blogger.com
