Going to FF Canon like you said you would then, Luke?

That first one is really cool, it's an unusual perspective, I hope the driver had skills so that he didn't run your foot over or something haha. An even slower shutter speed and thus more blur would make it even better :)

They're great for the first time shooting Motorsport! Over time more and more ambitious panning shutter speeds will keep things interesting because shooting Motorsport can become a bit monotonous.

The shots themselves look good, but I'm not keen on the processing unfortunately :/

Thanks all, I'll be getting thinking about a theme over the break :)

Well I have no choice with it being my only lens at the moment (that’s changing in a few months time when my birthday comes around), the weight is fine even with it being hefty for a 50 at 500g. It should be wide enough for certain scenes, it’s surpising how wide 50mm is on FF, totally different...

I love the one of Llandudno Pier, A_Cro :) I’m going to wales for a week starting on sunday and we’re right near Llandudno so I’ll make a trip down there, I have a 10 stop too so I’m planning on doing some long exposures which is something I’ve not done in a while. I’m also wondering is 50mm is...

That looks right, yeah. I had one similar for my Nikon a good while back :)

Yes, that’s the AF-D version, so it doesn’t have the autofocus motor that the others you’re looking at have, that means that it won’t autofocus on your D3000 also.

I've never used a UV filter, they're next to useless of digital sensors and can actually make the image softer, as for the all round lens I recommended that because it's suited to his needs, a beginner isn't going to be doing any pixel peeping after all.

Just to show what the CPL does for car stuff I have this shot from a week ago, see how the windscreen is transparent instead of glared and the colour of the car is deeper- Low Golf by Niall97, on Flickr

Yeah the 18-200 will give you a good range, from quite wide to telephoto, it’ll cover all the bases. That’ll be a 58mm filter thread one for the kit lens won’t it? :)

No it’d be far too wide for that unfortunately, you’d need something like Canon’s 55-250mm for that stuff. When I first started out I went from the kit lens to a telephoto (a 55-200mm Nikon) because I shot some Motorsport and Nature stuff, then I got a fast prime (35mm F1.8). So you could get...

I'd get the 10-20 first of all, for what you've said it'll be used for that lens is great, it'll be really wide and for car show shots it's quite a nice effect with the distortion. Also, for the car stuff I strongly recommend a CPL filter, this allows you to turn the little ring on the filter...

There was a thread a while back about DIY sliders, I’m not sure who made it though, have a search.

How easy is it to sort? Is it a matter of sending it off to Nikon?

I thought they'd sorted that problem?

I'd say: 40mm Micro: £160 70-300mm: £280 D60+Card: £160 18-55mm: £40 55-200mm: £70 The other items can either be sold off cheap or chucked in with the other items as a deal sealer with the buyer if they try to haggle the price.

I got the Sigma 50mm F1.4 for my Nikon for the reason of focussing speed compared to the Nikon, but the 1.8 is still a great lens.

That looks good for what you want, generally the Canon powershots are always a good option from what I've seen.

Cheers, it looked awesome that EP3! If he ever wants any more photos taking of it then get in touch with me :) It was a good day, the previous 2 years that I’ve been seem to have had bigger crowds but thr show and shine bit this year was much larger. Yeah that M3 got black flagged yet he...

I family member was in a similar situation a few months ago and I found this for them - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0074JZXU2/?tag=cliospnet01-21 - It’s good enough for a compact, and simple to use. From reviews I see the Canon Powershots are always a good option, there are a few within this...
