Thank you all for making me welcome here.
Just an update... I gave my D40 away and got myself a D700. The lenses I got are 24-70mm and 50mm.
I have just completed a photo shoot with it for a wedding (just for fun).
Yes. Your comments have been correct... D700 is a tad heavier than D40. But, I am enjoying every minute of it. I have brought it to Bali and Darwin. Will post some of the photos I have taken so that you can all crtique. I am really a new oldbie.
I would like to take on photography as a serious hobby. I hope to keep at it. I need the creative outlet. Since I can't quite paint, photography would be the next best thing
One of you asked why still not good enough to have GF1 and D40. The GF1 is a fantastic camera. But I just too used to taking photos using the viewfinder and using the LCD screen has its limitations in bright lights. Further, GF1 does not focus as fast as a DSLR.
Anyway, keep your comments coming. I am here to learn and I think there are so much out there. A firm believer of life-long learning. And photography has endless opportunities for learning
I will be going to take photos of the city skyline tomorrow. This is for a wall mural at my office. Any suggestions, recommendations? Much appreciated!
Cheers!
