any camera peole have any tips. comments welcome

for future shots of flowers set the camera to aperture priorty (AV) and put it to the lowest f stop number (prob f4), this will create a smaller depth of field, blurring the background and it will look much better.

ok thanks jungle jim. that was the 1st pic i took with it. i was sitting out in the garden playing with it. i need to read all the instructions and have a proper play with it tomorrow. its lovely quality though compared to my compact. also isit possible to have the lcd display on whilst taking the pics. iprefer the little lens though but the lcd bit is good for cheecking before taking and that

SLR - Signle Lense Reflex, meaning no LCD for taking pics :D

oh ok thats a pretty stupid question realy lol. nevermind part of learning lol.

you can buy viewfinders that attach to the eyepiece to use as a screen... not sure how great they are tho!

plus the weight if a slr you should want it by your eye not 4ft infront of you

[gotamintvtr]

yeah i see what you mean itsafastworld. it was a stupid comment by me lol.
im still trying to get used to the camera but i done a few good shots now got a nice one of my uncles dog

i think it was pretty good anyway

[Ryan]

it wasnt stupid if your trying to get used to it....

i wasnt having a dig..

donno seems like the dog is a tad out of focus.

i know its difficult to get a nice shot when theyre clawing your balls tho

Angle finders

Only really useful for Macro work, wouldn't waste my money :)

Someone once pointed out to me that my 300D was "broken because the screen doesn't come on". hahaha!1

[keydogg]

lmao

im still a newb because of the fact that i actually havent got an SLR yet, but ive been reading up and im understanding it alot more everytime i read about photography, once i have the money for a 350d/400d, ill be well away! but since ive just moved out and im only 21 with a mortgage and bills it wont be for a few months yet!

[gotamintvtr]

keydog i think you should deffinatly get one when you can. i got given some new lenses for my the other day. so i got 4 lenses now and it come with a film slr not digital. but i wont use that. im just waiting for the chance of getting to an event to practice

[keydogg]

quality mate, i must admit im very jealous!!

i did consider getting a 300D instead because id be able to afford it quicker, but i want the extra features of the 350d, or possibly a 400d now theyre on their way to release.

Who knows, all i know is that when i get the camera ill get it with the bundled 18-55mm lense then ill buy a 50mm 1.8 straight away off ebay to get me goin! can't wait! shame itll be well after crimbo.. grrrrrr!

[gotamintvtr]

yeah in jessops the bloke said the 400d is going to be dear but by then it will be more worht it than paying less for the 350 coz of the features. i have a few new lenses now that i was given by my uncle got one thats better for macro shots and one that is abit better than the kit for motorsport and another one. so not bad
