Thanks, les! :)

Thanks guys. Obviously digital gives instant results and would be great for learning in that respect. I always had the impression that you could pick up film for peanuts-think I'm living in the past haha! I'm starting a new job in the next few weeks so maybe I could treat myself to a...

Good point, thanks! I'm going to get myself the 50mm one kindly suggested for me on here, I think. Around the £100 mark is about all i want to be spending on getting a feel for the basics at this point. Since the box of bits isn't costing me a penny I think I'll have them anyway, you never...

Thanks for the hellos! xxx

Thank you very much everyone for your replies-plenty of food for thought there! Not splashed out on anything yet, but I've also just been offered a box of things and have no idea what they are or if they may be compatible with the camera I have! Does anybody know what these things are and if...

Ooh thanks! Well I'd like some close stuff, of the kids and things like that, I also like the street-style photography which I've seen about on blogs etc. People and little things of interest outdoors really, I suppose. Just from a little bit of looking about I was wondering if a 50mm prime...

Thanks everyone! Glad I've not picked a dud, now I just need to learn about lenses quickly so I can get one and get clicking away! x

Hi all, Just wanted to say hello as I've just joined, am fairly clueless about photography so thought I'd pick up a bit of wisdom on here! Am awaiting my canon eos 300 from eBay which I'm hoping is not going to be a waste of the *massive* 15 quid I just spent on it! Anyway looking forward to...
