Matlock bath? If you do, have a walk up to the Heights of Abraham. Some great views of the valley from up their.

Bracketing might also help.

I think alot of what we call 'having an eye for a shot' is down to confidence. In the same way that confidence effects almost everything we try to achieve. It's not just about believing you have the ability to get the right shot but more about having the sheer bloody mindedness to obtain the...

I'm not a massive fan of the car myself but it belonged to a freind and he wanted some shots of it. He's got rid now though since getting in the family way.

Get yourself a circular polorizer filter to cut down on reflections like this: 18mm kit lens should be plenty wide enough though the shot above was taken with a sigma 10-20mm.

I'm surprised it took daily mail readers so long to start having a go at our european cousins. :D

If you're looking at buying a body only first then I must agree with the people who have said try out a d70 rather than a d60, I know the d70 is only 6mp but I managed to pick one up off of ebay quite recently for around £170 as a back up to my d80 (which cost £350 from ebay about a year ago)...
