Hello ladies and gents, another new guy on the forum. My name is Carl and I look forward to enjoying the knowledge and advice available. :)

First of all let me make one thing clear, I am a complete novice. :help:

I have had an old Sony Cybershot for some years, point and click at its best.

Yesterday my Canon 350D was aquired and now I am hungry for knowledge.

I have only the basic kit - no extra lenses, filters etc.

So, the journey starts - be gentle with me, I may well ask alot of questions. :bang:

Cheers,

Carl.

It'll never last, get ready to sell a spare kidney ;)

Welcome aboard :)
 
Hi.. ask away :wave:
 
Welcome m8ey,

friendly folks here so you should be fine to ask questions :)

(I am a noobie myself mind :p)

As for the basic kit don't worry for now, it isn't the camera which makes the photographer ;)
 
Hi and welcome :wave:
 
Cheers guys.

Just experimenting with some birdtable activity in the garden. :lol:
 
Hi and welcome, hope you've got those credit cards cleared, primed and ready to spend!!:naughty:
 
:wave: :welcome: Carl
 
I need to stop thinking of add-ons and just get to know the camera itself first!!! :lol: :lol:

I have been lurking around this site and seen some quality photo's.

I have much to do. :thumbs:
 
:welcome:
 
:wave: :welcome:

I started out with a point and shoot Cybershot and then upgraded to a 350D with just the kit lens.

The best advice I was given was to get into manual ASAP then shot lots of the same thing with different settings (I think I used one of our coffee mugs!) and that way you'll quickly learn what has an effect on what.

I think I only used the programme modes for about a week and now my camera lives in 'M' :thumbs:

But above all.....HAVE FUN :D
 
Hi Carl,

Strangely enough I'm in exactly the same boat as you, and in Liverpool. Got me a 350D and still haven't ventured out of the Auto modes! Where about are you in Liverpool?

More of them! I don't see this many people out with cameras in Liverpool, where do you all hide? :p
 
Hi Pete,

Small world! I remember emailing a few weeks back about your website and Slideshow Pro! Liking the new shot BTW on your site!
