You can’t rightly go [tag]travelling[/tag] without a [tag]camera[/tag] when you love [tag]photography[/tag] and want to show off were you’ve been to family and friends back home. I love [tag]travel photography[/tag] and I want to be able to take good pictures so I figure if I get an SLR I have to learn how to take them. I’m not rolling in money so I had to go for an entry level [tag]DSLR[/tag] at the time there were pretty much just two options, [tag]Canon[/tag] 350D or [tag]Nikon[/tag] D50. The Canon was a bit to small and plasticy for my liking so I got the Nikon. Of course a couple of months later both companies had released new cameras to supercede both of these.

The D50 takes great photos although I’m definately still learning. At today the photos in the Gallery are actually taken with a Sony P&S, I’ll have some with my new camera up soon enough. For the moment I only have 18-55 and 70-300mm lenses, both kit lenses but they do the job for me. I’m planning on getting a couple of filters very soon, a polarising and ND or NG. the main sticking point is that one lens is 52mm and the other 62mm which means if I want to same filter for the other I have to buy two of the same thing at different sizes.

I’ve been very slowly reading through some online photography courses, I think the main problem is I haven’t actually tried out the things I learn on the camera, at least not much of it anyway. Hopefully you will eventually be able to see a distinct improvement in my photography. Even more hopefully I hope it inspires you to go there.
