Hi Alex

Following our camera discussion, here are a couple of pics that show how effective a Cir Polarizing Filter can be. You can dial in blue so well, and indeed it's obvious use is reducing refection

You have to get one with your new kit, whatever you buy!

given that i was sat with you when you took that shot your not kidding, the sky wasnt like that in the seat next to you

did you get my mail? can you find me one of those on the site i sent?

Hi Alex

your proposed kit looks fantastic!

The Cir Polar filter you need will be a 72mm HOYA

Get one from the 'Bay, most of the HK guys are reputable. And often a 1/3 of the price

I got mine from there.

It's a good addition to your kit

And yes. I'd like to come up on the visit!

Davey

Great shots! Another amateur photographer here.

What kit are you going to get?
This is mine

At the moment my hot fav is as follows (you may notice some similarities)

Nikon D300
Nikkor 18-200mm AFS DX 3.5/5.6G
Nikon MBD10 Grip
San Disk 16GB DX 3

Old Sigma 50mm f2.8 macro lens which is going half price hopefully its decent

and my prime lens which i have to wait and order will be a 50mm Nikkor f1.4g AFS

am open to lens advice mate

There's piss all amateur about that Altair! Thats a few thousand quid there! I just purchased a Sony a350 for £420 and a zoom lens for £130. Now thats amateur and I thought I was doing well.

mmmorning, got my kit this weekend, and am loving it so far!!!

Ha ha! That just about sums me up to! Waiting for some brighter weather so I can get out and about to take some landscapes. Not got a clue what I'm doing but I've bought about 30 photography magazines in the last 2 months! I just end up looking at the pics tho!!

Congrats, lets see some pics!

If you are interested in Macro, I strongly suggest the 105MM Nikkor Macro lens, absolutely superb!

hey altair.

i am interested in Macro, for the time being picked up the 50mm sigma as iot was down from £280 to £139 and seems to do a nice job at the moment.

took some snaps of the kittens over the week, my emergency and a bug that was crawling round on the floor.

will do some crops of them on tues and post up.

still trying to get to know all the features so be gentle on the critique also its been 10 years since ive used a DSLR in anger so we'll see how i do.

Alex

please bear in mind i had the camera all of about 20 mins and am still figuring out wahta all the settings do, but here are some shots, sorry for the non uniform sizes
