Hi All
My name is Andy and I am currently finishing my PhD in Astrophysics and Planetary Science. I bought a Nikon D60 years ago and only really kept it in auto mode but liked to use it. I have done some amount of astrophotography with it (when I used to have a lovely telescope) but then had to sell my telescope
I love taking photos and have got some nice ones (in my opinion) and loads not so good! I am looking to make my pictures MUCH better and I just bought a Nikon D5300 with the usual lens, at the same time I purchased a Sigma zoom lens (70 - 300mm I think) and today I picked up a lovely Nikkor AF-S 1.8G lens for crisp portraits and low light photos (star trails etc.).
I have not used auto on my camera yet and I am sticking purely with M mode as I want to use my camera to it's fullest extent! I cannot wait to be a part of the forum and look forward to people helping me with my pursuit into 'proper' photography!!!
Cheers
Andy
