Hi,
I've had my K10D for about a year now. I originally bought it to take some pictures of some high voltage science experiments. (trial and error with a film cam was getting slow and annoying)
My plasma photos
I also bought a Sigma DC 18-50mm 1:2.8 EX MACRO lense so that it could capture low light images effectivley. (it was reccomended to me by someone in Jessops, but then bought elsewhere for £100 less)
Since having it I found myself taking it everywhere and really enjoy taking pics with it. I am hoping to get some tips on using it in more everyday situations. I'll list some questions, please give any answeres you can, and extra tips are always great too.
1. I want some sort of telephoto lense. Similar to the one above, but maybe upto 300mm. Where do I buy them? I'm finding google product search is not working well for me. I want to take some wedding photos, bt also use for my science ones. budget <£300
I need a flash too i suppose, similar budget for that
2. Theres so many settings! Why do I need them all? All I have ever change is the apature, ISO and exposure time settings.
3. How do I take advantage of a RAW file? They look the same as a high quality jpeg on my pc.
4. How do I get a shot of someone/something standing in front of a light source> Similar thing is taking a photo of a landscape... I can either get nice landscape with over bright sky, or nice sky with dark landscape.
5. Any more tips would be great.
I know theres lots of questions so in exchange for you answers I offer to answer any of those nagging science questions you may have as I do know a lot about that (unlike photography).
Thanks,
Rich
