emma - nikon do a cheaper version of the 50mm too https://www.warehouseexpress.com/product/default.aspx?sku=12869 although it's not as much a bargain as the canon version

I got the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 and it cost me something like £70 brand new. It's an absolutely cracking lens, especially for the price!

Emma, something like the 70-300 Sigma will work beautifully on your camera - and it's less than £200! This one specifically states it's fully compatible with your camera.

Emma,

Have you made your purchase yet as I bought the Sigma 70-300mm lens a week or two ago (it has macro on it, although not true macro...Anna told me this ). I have the D60.

I'm finding atm, that I'm actually getting better shots with my Nikon 18-55mm lens that came with the camera (for doing macro type shots).

I'm sorry I've not read back through the thread to see what you want it for but I paid £128.99 plus postage through warehouseexpress I think - quick delivery!

You're taking some fab shots! Can't believe you've only just got into this! I wish I was getting as good shots as you!!! Practice, pratice, practice!!!!!

Neecee - I agree with Anna, go and have a fondle with a few different DSLR's to see what suits you!

I've got to say, you girls take some brilliant photographs. I'm very jealous when I look through RB!!! Can you tell me, do you photoshop a lot of them? Or am I just crap with the camera???

Every week I think, I'm going to enter this weeks challenge and then I see your entries and decide against it

Anyway, I'll stop waffling now!!!!!!!!

Have a lovely weekend girls!

Booooooooo my lens didn't arrive this morning had a few plans for that over the weekend

Never mind - going to try and get some shots this weekend. Got an idea for the flower challenge just need a few bits and bobs to help me set it up

I too love photography, i was gutted when my last camera broke one of me children broke the LCD screen and i was lost without it. my DH bought me a new one for my birthday its a 12mp kodak touchscreen with all mod cons but i need to take it out for a real test drive lol

Laurie Thank you!! Your pictures are fab to!!! I cant believe you dont think your pictures are good enough! Get yourself in the floral challenge! I try and take 100s of pictures and only get a few good uns and get very frustrated. But like you said practice.Have you got a close up lens kit for macro like this? Ive got one and its really good!

What is the 70-300mm lens like for zoom? Im thinking id like it for more zoom as ive been finding i cant zoom in enough. Would you say its worth me getting the 70-300mm lens?

I dont tend to use photoshop really i might use it for croping or turning them in to black and white i only know how to adjust the colour brightness and contrast etc and i can now frame them to and thats about how far i go lol.

Anna - the pictures of Alyssa are absolutely beautiful! What a poser she is and what a fab photographer her mummy is!!

Emma - the sigma lens is great for zooming in but I'm not so fond of it for macro shots tbh! I have some of those filters for macro etc for my sigma lens and think they're rubbish maybe I'm doing something wrong with my camera/lens? I was thinking about getting them for my nikon lens to try. You got a great shot with the macro filter on!

morning!

 

[Mynxie]

I had an interview for a degree today...she stated that she was impressed with my work and knowledge and then proceeded to bitch for the remaining 40 minutes (out of 45) about my disability before stating that my work and knowledge are sufficient to get onto the course, but thought it may not be practical because of my disability.... sick and tired, really physically tired, of fighting to be treat like every other person, whether it be going for a meal, purchasing something or applying for a degree. She told me to fill in the form and she'd call me for a second interview, but TBH, I don't want to spend 3 years, 1 and a half days a week, in the same room as that biggot.

 

[leedsforever]

oh my god... how frigging rude!!!!

 

[AnnaBanana9]

That is shocking treatment, Mynxie! You should file a formal complaint. I know what you mean about not wanting to spend the time with her. It's disgusting, some people's attitudes. I'm sorry you were treated that way honey.

[Mynxie]

thanks hun

TBH Anna, I'm so tired of fighting and it would fall on deaf ears. (....and if I'm completely, truly honest with myself, I'm not well enough to take on another big fight)

I'm furious TBH

I know, theoretically, through discrimination, if I continued my application I could well get on the course (which would annoy me no end if I thought that was the case, I want merit because of my work and nothing else!) but I feel that she'd make it as difficult as possible for me. She even objected to having 1-to-1 support (like a carer with me) which she's legally not allowed to object to.

I'm so fucked off but so tired...

Sadly none of the 3 uni's do a P/T degree (or HND etc) that was the only place local that did.
