Hi everyone I thought I would reintroduce myself as it's been a long time with work and family etc.
As of a few days ago I'm the proud owner of a new Nikon D3200 double VR zoom kit, my first DSLR as iv always had small instamatic types the last of which was a Minolta Z3, so as you can imagine it's been a long time since I looked at my camera equipment seriously.
My interest has been rekindled and I'm like a big kid at Christmas with my new camera and had my first try yesterday of a walk around my local park taking pictures.
I used the automatic settings mainly sport and landscape, and swapped between the 18x55 and the 55x300 also with the AF and VR switched on.
After hundreds of shots and after checking them on my pic I ended up with about 30 that I liked.
Iv cropped a handful but otherwise left them alone and I'm very pleased for a first attempt. I'll post them in the gallery and advice hints and tips are most welcome.
I'll be browsing here more often and hopefully posting and learning more as there is more to these DSLR's than I realised, but looking forward to getting out there and using it to its fullest. That's once I know what all the buttons and settings are.
It's great to be back :t:
