Red - My new purchase is hidden away and won't be coming out for a while. I'm having family problems, sadly. I had a little nose and I tried everything to look through the LCD when I take a picture. Apparently I can't? This makes no sense.

I don't think the D60 comes with Live view, you'd need a higher speced camera for that.

You'll have to look through the viewfinder.

Benni

This is what I don't understand. Higher spec? My old cheap camera has live view.

Benni.

Muska

You can't really compare your old camera to your new one, the differences are great.

Live view is a new thing to dslr's, tradionally and with great effect I might add it's all done through the viewfinder. Give it a go you might just like it.

Benni

Thankyou I will.

Matt - Like the first photo of the Aston, not surewhat to suggest thoughas im crap at car photography I've driven one of those Astons before... very very nice, the instant throttle response was what impressed me most... the brakes were a suprisingly poor too!

Benni - As Matt says the D60 doesn't come with live view, meaning you have to use the viewfinder to compose your photo and not the LCD screen... once you get used to it you honestly wont want to go back to using an LCD screen to take your photos with.

Can I ask what you all think of this? I am considering swapping my D60 for it as it has live view.

Benni.

i would keep the camera you have over getting a sony. BUT i would also get a canon over a nikon.

Benni

Thanks.

Red16

Personally I think if you cant get your head around not having liveview then maybe a DSLR camera is not what you want/need and that you may be better of going for a decent point and shoot camera. The only time you really look at the screen is when youre changing settings or reviewing photos you have just taken.

Red16

P.S. I've just been out and bought myself a Nikon 35mm f/1.8G prime lens let the bokeh begin

Benni

I just think it's easier to look at the screen, even more so when on a tripod?

Benni.

Captain500rs

Got it on mine and never used it like. Just got hold of a 50mm prime lense, Gonna see if its anygood for car photography. Anyone know ?

Benni ive got the a200 and given the chance again, i would pick the Nikon over it

Benni

Can I ask why?

Benni.

Just dont think the picture quality is all that fantastic tbh, its got some added extras, but looking at the camera in a whole, i think id have been better off with the D60

Benni

And here's me thinking your pictures were great.

some of them are not bad, i have to say, but i do think theyd have been better taken with a better camera.

Although for Ł350 i wasnt going to complain, its a highly capable camera, but i think the quality is better with Nikon/Canon

Red16

Well... theres more quality shots from you again my fave's the first one.

danneth

Dicko&Vacant

Red16

I agree... that HDR is rather good lets see another one to prove its not a one off

Thanks. Yeah, i think im starting to get to grips with the layout of the buttons/controls on the D90 now, hoping to get out tomorrow and have a play with my new Nikon 35mm lens

StephenC

Not an HDR but a lot of work has gone in to this.

Not as good as some on here.. But took this not long ago coming down the M25!

3i_gaz

thats fooking brilliant!!

Muska

Stephen, great panning shots first one may be a bit too extreme of an angle for me personally though, i find myself tilting my head when looking! haha!

Red, nice shots of the dog.

CC, correct white balance would have made that shot better for me, upping the ISO would have given you a faster shutter speed helping to reduce the blur. I mean this constructively, not having a dig









Got some more exotica to shoot in the next week or so, i can't wait!

Adz The Rat

StephenC

Its too extreme for me aswell! Ive never been fond of the angle'd shots but I was just bored and though what the hell, wasnt expecting such a small ammount of tilt to have such a sea sick affect!!!
Very nice set of the bike, are these in a studio?? Love the reflections in the first and altogether they would make a great montage. What do you have in store for this week or do we have to wait
cheers
Steve

Muska

Cheers, i tried to keep some consistancy with the shots throughout the set.
Shot in a studio of sorts, bit of post work to remove all traces of the scene.

I've got a 911 Carrera Turbo to shoot this week, hopefully weds night. and in the next week or so a Ferrari 360 & High spec Range rover. Then i'm working in coventry transport museum with free roam out of hours, they've got the thrust cars there and i'll definately be attacking those along with a few other choice examples... Can't wait!

Adz The Rat

They sound interesting Matt, look forward to seeing them
