Dear Arkady, I respect your opinion but both my website and facebook fanpage clearly stated that my images and near future projects were for gaining experience (the services offered are the fields that I need more experience in hence why I have put them on the site) and that I am an amateur...

Hi everyone, Sorry that I haven't been on here in a while but its bben very hectic! I'm building up an online portolio on http://dkilminsterphotography.webs.com and facebook fan page http://www.facebook.com/pages/DKilminster-Photography/115135941867230?ref=mf. If you are on facebook then please...

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to update people on the camera that I eventually chose (after researching the suggestions that I was given on the forum as well as researching into others) I finally fell in love with the Nikon D3000 and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens kit and my...

I'm looking at all types, Nikon was just recommended to me through a trustworthy source in regards to performance etc so I took their advice on board. That doesnt necessarily mean I will get one, I'm researching all areas but when I first joined this forum - The Nikon range was what I was first...

Thankyou for the recommendation Andysnap, I was just gonna ask about a good lens for portraiture scarily enough! :)

If i could afford a medium format camera, I would be straight at the front of the queue. The detail and clarity and no edge artifacts that they provide is beyond belief but the finance is beyond belief too so looks like I'll be sticking with a DSLR unless I win the lottery. That is a lovely...

Thankyou for the advice Ali B, I understand that it will be cheaper to use the lenses I get with my first camera and just upgrade the camera body in the future so lens compatibility is something that is at the front of my mind in regards to getting my first DSLR. I will definately be taking my...

Thankyou all for the constructive feedback, I will look into these recommendations and try to see if i can hold one in a shop etc as like afew of you have said, you have to feel comfortable with what you are going to buy first. I really appreciate all the help that people are giving me, I didnt...

Thankyou for the recommendation purehillmanimp :)

Thankyou PsiFox for the book recommendation, will be getting hold of a copy! and thankyou for the constructive criticism regarding the D40 Wigster. I am also hoping to get a good telephoto lens after I receive the camera from my hubby at christmas as I've always wanted to take a good photograph...

Thankyou everyone for such constructive feedback. I had a vague suspicion that the D40/D40X would be a good for entry level but not for pro but due to finances and the fact that I'm a novice at the minute, I didn't want a camera that is hard to control, I was recommended either model through...

Hi everyone, As a person who is getting into photography and one day hoping to go into the business - I was wondering out of the following two models - which one would be the best for starting out and also for using professionally? the nikon D40 or the D40x?

Hello Animal :)

Hi Wail, thankyou for your feedback - I have already researched into the cost and understand that it will be costly but it is a project that I will be building up slowly and taking it one step at a time. Thankyou for heading me into the right direction regarding relevant sub-forums.

Thankyou feek for your feedback, I understand that I won't be able to cover all those categories successfully so I have been thinking about training in one or 2 of those categories alone and specialising eventually. In relation to gear and the financial outlay of opening a business, I certainly...
