  • Usually men get the women gifts when they messed up something.

    Hmmm!

    Danny - thanks for the leads mate.. I know about Gulf photo plus and their exhibitions as well. Heard they are really good. But like you said.. the web is loaded with stuff.. I also bought a couple of photography magazines. They are packed with tips and ideas.

  • I'd spend money on lenses instead of classes; depends what photography you're planning on doing, on that camera with the stock lens (I believe 18-55mm or similar) and using the green square mode (a.k.a. auto) you can't really ever go wrong.

    If you want to take some nice portraits/landscapes etc then it's best to pick up some more lenses.

  • I agree with Sam, plus practice makes perfect.

    Get out there, experiment with all the different settings - you'll soon see what is successful and what's not.

    Also RTFM - Read The F**king Manual!

    So, Mrs M is making sure that you have a good camera to record the new Mini M MkII, ay? ;-)

    Thanks for the offer of more tobacco, Mory, but our pipe is currently in storage somewhere in Melbourne! xo

  • That's a Canon EOS Digital. 1000D?

    You don't need lessons. Just let the camera take all the decisions. use P mode. You're in safe hands!!!

    :)
