    Beautiful scenery here for sure but awful weather! Sometimes I want to explore the world - until I remember that I'm too scared to leave my own front door 99% of the time. Oh well.

    Well I'm sorry to hear that. I'm definately not much of a people person but I love nature and a few good friends.
    back to the topic at hand. Ive always wanted to better my photagraphy skills and was wondering what you guys would recommend for a good starter camera? Maybe one I could build up as I get better or do cheaper cameras use cheaper accessories?

    I'm far from expert, depends on how much you wanna spend at first. I got one last year for about £67 with an 18x zoom. It was mainly automatic settings it shot on but it was perfect for outdoors in good light and passable for snapshots with the built-in flash. 

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-WB150-Compact-Digital-Camera/dp/B007JSZX6M - pretty basic point and shoot really but I found it perfect for getting used to zooming in and 'framing' shots.

    There is such a bewildering array of cameras out there, hopefully normac can point you in the right direction if you're looking to start out more advanced.

    Depends what you want, if you want to go the dslr route, you will have to decide on Canon or Nikon as lenses are not compatible between them. Each brand has a few different models suited to beginner's. Or you could get a cheaper but still good compact camera, which will do a good job, but there are less creative options.
     
    Thanks for the kind words guys, skateboarding pic's will be next on the list to post here. Been real busy with work and school this work, so not much action from me on gc

    Some bud shot picutres and a nice panorama style shot which is pretty basic but I like it.

    Bar trying to break properly this morning. Not very common to see it overhead with perfect A frames, just if it had a bit more size to this swell and it couldve happened.

    Trying to improve my nug shots, need a lense better suited to macro's.

    Looks sweet. Have you seen those scopes that plug into the computer?
     
  13. #53 normac, Nov 13, 2014
    nope, wanna link me to it so I can have a gander? Or is it just a lense that uses the comp for a power source for the autofocus
     
  14. #54 capt.murphy, Nov 13, 2014
    I think the one I saw just used the computer but I'll check around. Theres probably software or something
     
  15. #55 normac, Nov 14, 2014
