As I am getting a bit better at this now I was in a quandary whether to buy a quicker camera like the d7000 but the advice I am being given is that a better lens would be the more sensible option. I have the standard 18 -55 kit lens and the Nikkor 70-300 and Tamron 70-300 both with aperture...

I am a novice to photography and have no real knowledge of cameras and kit etc... I have just done my first year of A level and a new lecturer very quickly spotted a problem that I have put down to me being a bit thick....I willl try to explain but no one seems to know how to explain what is...

Cheers looks like I will be trying to find a decent 35mm 1.8 first then.

Hi guys, I have a nikon d5000 with the 18-55 lens and a Tamron 70 - 300 tele macro and absolutely nothing else . I hoped someone could give me some advice on what type of other stuff I should be adding to it cheap lights, lens & flash, filters etc. I want to do some: 1) indoor...

I used the camera yesterday it seemed to be a bit iffy not quite giving the results I am used to for example it lacked colour it normally produces I put this down to the over cast day and the whole camera seemed to perform sluggishly. (My tutor at college had said he thought weeks ago that the...

I didn't realise I had put it on that at the time but back to the manual I suppose. But thank you guys for the help.

The lecturer said that if I had the ISO on auto then it should pretty much do the ISO and shutter speeds itself (or have I misunderstood him?) So do I need to keep changing the ISO and shutter speed myself. I am sorry for sounding thick but I have no idea what I am doing :bonk:

Lets try that again lol hope this is better

Having fallen in love with my Nikon I decided to do amy A level at my local college. I have no experience whatsoever and I hoped that this would help; we are now 5 weeks into the course and are currently skillbuilding. Our homework this week is Depth of field and our lecturer just said...

It is only for my course work, we have even been advised by lecturers to use plain paper to keep the costs down! so its not for anything special like course work to be submitted as I will get these done professionally. Just everyday contact sheets etc

I have just started my A level photgraphy and we seem to do a massive amount of full colour printer in a nutshell I have used a full colour cartridge in 3 weeks. I was thinking of getting a better printer as I only have a canon pixma BUT i will need one that is the most economical to run with...

You can get some fantastic bargains at the mo Nikon D5000 with 2 lens under £500 at JESSOPS! Gutted. I gave up the fags to pay for mine and got everyone to give me a tenner as a Xmas present...Get grief of the old man but only because he doesn't know how to use it.

Thanks guys I will hope for a clear night before saturday now.

Does anyone have any plans and tips for getting a good picture of the moon on the 19th? It is going to be at its closest to earth for over 20 years and as a result will appear brighter and larger. I would love to be able to get some shots of this and as I live out in the sticks with little...

I am really new to photography but after making sure that everybody gave money as gifts for xmas and birthdays and the money I saved packing in smoking I have treated myself to the Nikon D5000. Which I am rapidly developing a bit of a crush for :love: I have also started a dslr course for the...
