I think we're all a little jealous of your 2nd gen.

We'd all love to own one, but never took the punt. But it takes something special to have the eye to get it to where you have today. Probably shows why you can take some good pics too - loving Chan's leafy shot. I finally have a DSLR being delivered tomorrow - got some way to learn to take some pics like that though! 8-)

:hug:

Just saying what I see. 8)

Decided on a Nikon d5100 - still a good camera for the reduced money now - paid £392 (RRP was nearly £800!). Can't wait to get stuck in. It was asked whether to start a photography thread or section - looks like there's enough peeps for it to be worthwhile. I know I'll have questions.

I hope you realise what 25999 shots from that camera are going to be of ;-)

Don't quite get what your trying to say mate?

Pretty much most of those was while I was travelling for a whole year, gave me plenty of time to practice skills and learn photoshop tweaks. Of course once I was back I transferred those skills to Automotive photography. Here's one of my old Del Sol I did using my old crappy 400D:

Bingo!

It'll be a healthy mix of new baby, cars and general practice shots of anything and everything. But let's not clog up yet another profile Nathan! :lol:

Brilliant news! :D I remembered you said something about being in either JP or Banzai soon, and actually ended up buying Banzai in a gamble that you were in it (I was too pushed for time to fick through it properly first). Turns out you weren't in it though :lol:

Let us know which issue it's in ;-)
