Finally got a SLR

[jastheace]

Hi guys,

well went out and took the plunge, brought a twin lens kit SLR, a Cannon EOS 500D with a cannon EFS 18-55mm lens and a Cannon EFS 55-250mm lens. have done a little bit of a fiddle, but nothing major, got to remember everything grandad taught me about apetures. iso's shutter speeds etc,

can you guys give me any tips apart from the go out and fiddle, i am already doing that and the results so far are good,

have never had a camera this good.


will give me something to do since my flightsim pc's bios croupted itself and i will have to buy a new one

cheers

Jason

Sounds awesome Jason, you'll have to give us a call when you're next headed out.

Easiest tip for plane spotting. Aperture Priority (AV), f8, ISO 100-200, and you're set.

couldn't say at this point, apparently it is HD, but still gettting my head around the pic side of it, haven't even looked at the movie mode, might do that on my days off, will let you know
