Seriously, it takes a minute to create a photobucket account and they even create forum friendly code for you to copy and paste under each picture/thumbnail.

Can't help with Flickr, never really got on with it.

[ryan1835]

*sigh*

uploading to photobuckets easier then i first though hang on in there!

to be disappointed

[ryan1835]

hopefully you can see my fail now

[Neil]

Cool   Are you going to take it out for some low light shots?

[ryan1835]

yes, im off to blackpool in october for the illuminations so it will be seeing plenty of action then

[Neil]

   October is a month away

[ryan1835]

photography club starts again in a week so hopefully there give me projects, in the mean time im going to have to go out and practice!

i really need to save for a tripod too

i guess ill be able to get alright pics with it if there not long exposures free hand?

[Neil]

That is the big advantage of that light sucking lens you've got   You really should save for a good tripod next though.

[ryan1835]

i know the pics arent that great, but im really impressed with how sharp the pics come out compared to my 18-55 vr or the 70-300

ad yeah ill try for a tripod i need one light enough that ill want to carry it though, im not sure on the height thing yet either

o well i wont be spending any more money this money silly expensive glass! 

[Chako]

Photography is an expensive hobby. 

That 1.4 looks like it is giving you great results.

[duckman1975]

Nice timing on the pigeon jumping shot 

[Neil]

That's one of the levitating pigeons that float around the UK.  Do you not have them?

[DaveK]

Great pics Ryan!

[Chako]

Ours can levitate, but must use Newtonian laws of physics...For every force; there is an equal but opposite force. Thus ours jettisons copious amounts of bird feces to achieve levitation. I note the UK pigeons must be upgraded models.

[Andreas]

LOVE the one with the pidgeon walking off the edge

[Turnstone]

Nice pictures! I like the one of your watch a lot 

But you have made a big mistake... A 50/1,4 lens is about the best you can get out there for relatively less money, and now you know what difference a good lens makes. You will start spending money on good lenses, expensive lenses  (I started spending lots of money on good glass for my camera after buying a cheap but excellent 50/1,8 lens about 10 years ago. I just couldn't live with the quality of my cheap lenses anymore...). Good thing: good lenses will last, and you can use them for years. I still have that "old" lenses I bought back then. Changed my camera 3 times, but didn't have to buy new glass for it  (Same goes for a good tripod, you only have to buy it once.)

[Zed]

and the one for zed (paul)

my zed a1 no.1

Yeah I think I'm just discovering how much it can be to get decent stuff lol!  I'm going to save for a while for the tripod as that's one thing I want to get right first time, ill also get a remote to go with it

Ahh well gotta have a hobby =)

[Chako]

Wait till you get the wildlife fever if you think glass is expensive now. 


Just be careful or you may end up with a lot of equipment. There are diseases like lens-a-holic, upgradeitis, etc, to watch out for. Lucky for me, I got cured a few years ago...

[ryan1835]

Eek I think the cure is to buy more?

[Zed]

and win the lottery as well 

[Chako]

I think I just ran out of steam to be honest. 

[ryan1835]

Or new stuff to buy 

[Zack]

Something can be said for buying used lenses as well.  All of my lens purchases have been used ones.  I get mine from KEH.com and look for their BGN rated lenses.  They say they are at about 70%, but I can't really find a flaw on mine at all.  The one I use most is a Nikon 28-105mm 2.8-4 Macro, and it has paid for itself many times over.  It may not be a "pro" lens, but it does what I need it to everytime. 

[Chako]

Some Pro lenses are junk also. It is very important to do a lot of research before buying anything. Every line has its lemons so to speak.
