Today I bought my first DSLR. I am now the very proud owner of a Nikon D3100 a 18-55mm VR lens and a 55-200mm non VR lens. I am now also £750 lighter but I am sure it will be worth every penny.
I have wanted one for such a long time and now I have one and I have no idea how to use it. It took me 10 minutes to get the lens on and a further 15 minutes to get it off again. There were also a couple of things in the box that I don't know what they are. I'm hoping that all this will become clear.
So, here marks the beginning of my journey into amateur photography. I'm going to use this blog as a progress report as well as a place to document my photographs along the way.
I want to work hard to improve my, currently non existent, technique so I am going to take part in a number of projects which will not just help with technique but will hopefully challenge and inspire me. I have listed some of these projects in the side bar.
My first challenge however, is going to be my friends wedding on Saturday. Having had the camera a few hours and not taken any pictures yet I'd say this will challenge me. Thank god I'm not the professional photographer otherwise the poor bride may find herself disappointed!
On Sunday my good old dad is having a flying lesson in a WW2 Tiger-moth biplane. This will be a good chance for me to get some distant action shots in. Fingers crossed it's not rained off!
I've got allot to learn but I'm excited about my new hobby so hopefully it won't be too painful. I'll drop back in after the weekend, hopefully with sone decent shots!
