Wow that's amazing!

I can't wait to get an SLR and start shooting things like this.

...wow that is amazing. I do have an slr, but still don't know how to use it properly - just a basic d40, but use it on auto most of the time...

Cheers for the comment guys . I'm currently using a D60 Nikon are good cameras, If you got the free time I'd suggest doing a Photography course, or if you into computers do Hardware support and interactive media if your college does it, Where I learn't most of my stuff.

I was actually thinking of doing a course once I got my camera.
I'm going travelling in the US for months + in 2011 so there is going to be
tones of amazing photo shots I don't want miss!

Top tip - read the manual for your camera. I know that sounds patronising but it isn't meant that way - everybody has to learn somehow. Only way I learned anything was by reading the manual and then p***ing about with different settings to see what worked for me! Shutter priority mode is the most useful as far as I'm concerned....

^^yeah your probs right. I'm a tad lazy though lol, I only think to learn when I need it most, which is too late by then, and then when my works done, I forget I probs need to mess about and learn to use the thing...

 

[Ferret]

LOL! Daft thing is, once you've messed about, you realise that it's actually bloody easy!!!! Nice sunny day and fotting freights moving at max 75mph = ISO200, shutter speed of 1/500 or 1/640 and let the aperture take care of itself. Should give a minimum of f6.3 and hopefully more than that!

...bracketing mode is what I find most useful.
