Thank you! :D

I'd really like an invite too please? jennie.banks [at] gmail.com Thank you! :)

Ahah! I haven't heard of that before! I like it! :lol: Oh and thank you! :D Thank you for the advice, I feel the macro will get used more. Thank you and congrats on your pass too! :D Thanks for that, I have been thinking very hard about what I am going to use the most and what will be...

Thank you for your reply, I'm about to go into my local camera shop to have a look at the lenses so I think I'm just going to go with what feels right at the time :)

Thank you, I will certainly keep it in mind about buying second hand. Thank you!! :D (What is a Desmond?) Apologies, I should have made myself clearer. I don't want to spend more than £350 at the moment so I want to prioritise what I want to get first and what will get the most use...

:D Thank you!! :D My degree was in Animal Conservation & Biodiversity. I've just applied to go on and do a Masters in Applied GIS (Geographical Information Systems) now :naughty:

Thank you, I think I am heading more towards getting the 35mm at the moment, particularly as I do like taking photos of the cats and general outdoors photos. I was thinking that a compromise might be to buy a Raynox DCR-250 so I can learn more about macro before emptying my pocket too quickly...

So, a couple of days ago I found out I have been awarded a 1st class for my Bachelors Degree and as a graduation present to myself I am looking to purchase a new lens for my Nikon D5000 but I have two in mind and can only afford one. I'm hoping some of you wonderful lot can help me decide...

Received my book today and am over the moon with it!! I photographed my best friends engagement party so the photos went into this book and I'll be giving it to the couple as a present. I opted to have the personalised photo cover for an extra few quid. Really looks the business!

Thank you everyone for the advice, particularly lensflair for the very detailed post, I'll be referring to that again. Unfortunately I just couldn't get it right on the evening I was photographing.. I got enough shots that I was happy with to put into a photobook for my friend though so I...

Thank you very much for your reply, that is exactly the advice I was after! :thumbs: Would you be able to explain further: "flash in TTL and bounced straight up to ceiling with a fill card" I am very much new to lighting and am working with the flash on the d5000. I'm hoping to keep my role...

I too am looking for tips as I am in a very similar situation. In particular I was looking to get some information on the settings that would be best used in low light situations. Apologies for hijacking your thread Allan!

I was searching for threads regarding a similar issue I wanted to ask about, so I hope you don't mind me asking here instead of opening a new thread. Yesterday I unofficially photographed an open day at a sailing club I am a member of. Some of the photos may feature in the club magazine, but...

Mine is the title of a song by one of my favourite bands - The Wildhearts :D

Hi, I used one to give up smoking and to use in the pub etc. and it was brilliant! Really felt like a real cigarette - both in your hand and whilst smoking it. I thought the vapour was very similar to that of smoke from a normal fag. I bought mine from a company called "theecigarettecompany"...
