Ah, now those pictures are much better. Thought that was my Saxo for a minute lol. Can see that your thinking more about the angles etc to make an interesting shot.
It also depends though what type of photography you want to do, different types of photography require different techniques and camera settings and lenses. For example, motorsport photography requires a pretty long zoom lens, whereas travel photography for instance generally only needs shorter focal lengths or prime lenses (no zoom).
If you want any more help with anything to do with photography you can ask it here or PM me, would be happy to help
