Hello forum. I'd like to introduce myself as I am new and very excited. Im a 24 year old, with a geography degree under his belt. so naturally the world around me is a passion of mine, and I'v longed for a good camera to be able to document what I see. because lets face it. the world is a beautiful place. So after a long time of wishful thinking, and a lot of comparisons and jumping from camera to camera, I finally settled on the D3100. I haven't actually got the camera yet (due to arrive on Monday morning) and I honestly can't wait to get my hands on it.
I just have a few things I could do with some advice on.
firstly:
Essential Accessories.
I have bought the 18 - 55mm lens kit. Im assuming that for a beginner, that this will be more than adequate lens. Im just wondering what other accessories I'm going to need in the early days. Im thinking storage/carry bag, memory card. lens cap, UV filter...
anything else?
secondly:
can anyone throw some ideas around of thing to do with the camera to better get to know it. obviously not actually having the camera itself yet, it is a pretty open question. I might get the camera and it all might fall into place. but are there any tips and hints, and basic shooting modes that can help develop my skills?
I am interested in taking landscape and nature photography as well as night photos with long exposure (lets be honest. well all want one of those photos )
so yeah. I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in with it.
Hopefully you will see a lot more of me on here as time goes on.
