Hi All,

My names Matt, i'm 30 and a newb (i think that's the correct slang) in photography. I have promoted myself up from a point and shoot and want to learn to take some nice images as a creative outlet and an opposite outlet to my dull job in sales LOL.

I have a nice little entry level Nikon D3000 with a couple of lens given to me recently. 18-55mm Kit lens bought with the camera and 2 donated Nikkor lens, 55-200mm and a 35mm f1.8, both very well appreciated.

I have take some images with them and as you can imagine they are pretty pants at the moment so I started reading some more to help improve my technique.

I have been doing some study on the subject of Photography and believe i understand the very basics of it all, i.e. aperture, shutter speed, iso, basic camera setting, white balance etc.

My aim is to take a mixture of different medium, landscape, portraits, more artsy type pictures all for fun, so I've been reading about the basics of these subject too. I have start reading a little bit about light/lighting and boy do I feel completely overwhelmed with this hobby now LOL.

But, patience is a virtue so I'll keep pressing on, putting the practice in and hopefully improve bit but it.

Matt

Welcome to the forums Matt :)
 
Hi Matt, I'm just down the road(ish) from you. Gloucestershire is a beautiful place for landscapes.

Plenty to learn on here. Might also be worth looking at Blackthorn school of photography at Cricklade as they run some great courses.
 
Welcome, plenty of places round here to practice, so just keep at it and you will soon be taking some lovley pictures!
 
Cheers for all the welcomes guys.

I'm really looking forward to getting out and taking some images. Lot to learn.
