Its called cow vs cancer, And its to raise money for cancer.

anyways, I have a nikon D3000, And thats all, I have no flash guns etc. But obviously the flash on my camera is alright.

But what im asking is for advice, Angles, Just ideas how i can get good pictures.

I beg you all help =] :eek:
 
I guess one angle would be the amount of red meat we all eat - they say that too much increases the risk of getting cancer?

Alternatively, cows are vegetarians :) maybe we could learn something from them? :)

Thanks btw :thumbs::) & General photos i would say tbh mate.
 
oh god here we go with all this pro talk

and can i add that even if the guy went out and spent £3000 on whatever you are talking about, it still wouldn't make him any better at taking pictures, so your post is irrelevant

No, just slightly concerned that someone whose camera arrived yesterday might be taking on a bit too much too soon. I've no problem with people jumping in at the deep end, but only if their a good swimmer and their aren't any rocks.
 
Sorry, I forgot to mention its in may, =[ Maybe that will stop the arguing?

Dont follow you.

Daniel started the thread saying he had been asked to do an event. I pointed out the questions that need to be asked and indicated where some advice could be found on TP. My second post pointed out the general outlay required. I think Daniel can discover for himself what he can provide after he has read the information available. If he then wants further advice he can ask.
 
Lol, Thanks Andrew, Yeah, Im going to give it a go and see what the turn out is :) Its at satans holo in manchester, doubt anyone on here has been there but still lol
 
Ouch! Bit of a sticky situation really, if you've only had your camera for 2 days. No fear though, by May you should be getting to grips with it fairly well. I would say get a flash gun ASAP though and learn to use it.

Speak to your GFs mate and ask what she's looking for....and since your GF got you into this, - it's her duty to model for you to practice ;) :lol:

Seriously, use the time between now and then to get comfy with your camera and learn about composition - and keep looking on here and putting up images for C&C

You might want to get a book to read called The Photographers Eye by John Szarkowski.
He states that there are 5 main points to a good photograph, which may or may not all be present.
The frame, vantage point, the thing itself, detail and time.
It's worth a read.
