I want to be good at photography like LM so I've just bought a 400d and would like some tips on how to get to learn it.
Also
1) It's got an 18-50mm lens, will this be ok for most car photography?
2) N00b question but do people use these without a lens? Ie just the bare body?
3) Any tips for not trashing it / breaking it?
All advice welcome!
If it turns out im shit with it, I'll just do a Mike H and copy my images from the tinterwebs.
Was just about to give you some advice, then I saw your last line
1 - Yes will be ok.
2 - No, lol
3 - buy a bag.
TBH, I have an 18-55mm, a 70-200mm macro/zoom lens and they do just fine. The 70-200 does well for track shots when you are a bit away, and also for Macro. I use my 18-55 for stills.
The one below is taken with the 70-200 on Macro setting (the lens is made by Sigma the one I have anyhow)
And these taken with the zoom use of the 70-200. For the price, think they are about £100...it#s a fantastic lens mate
The two below are taken with the 18-55 useful allround lens mate.... good for anything but never excels really
I have a 50mm lens too....for portrait shots, but never really got into that.
