Quick next question, what should i be looking for in a lens for landscapes? I have a friend in SA and we have been sharing pictures of places near us. I would like to send her some better photos when i get my camera
For landscapes you want the widest lens possible I believe. The 18-55 kit lens which comes with the D-SLR should be fine for landscapes (18mm is relatively wide - the lower the mm number, the wider the lens is).
Grand, i may get the camera at the end of the month and the second lens at the end of April in that case. The card + bag are cheap enough so should be able to get those too
I haven't got to open up with it yet, I took a few shots around the house and realised how damn far out of my depth I am right now
There are so many buttons and doodads, it is hard to tell what is what. I am just thrown it all on auto at the moment, and whilst I am sure the quality of the photography sucks, the quality of the picture is incredible.
I may go on a camera walk tomorrow. I live right around the corner from a cemetery, it is very peaceful and even with it being so cold and the trees bare, pretty, so I may see if I can do anything out there.
