Black Yaris · 01-17-2009, 05:44 PM

here are a few of the first shots though the D40... no editing

they were all just taken from my office window... I am going to play around with it some more this weekend and post some more pretty pix

what do you mean by full auto or manual then.....
I use the M setting on my camera, sometimes the A

I do want to get a wide angle attachment for my lenses.... ones on ebay look like crap.... and a wide angle Nikkor lens is like $1200

Black Yaris · 01-17-2009, 07:08 PM

this is the wide angle I am looking for

Black Yaris · 01-17-2009, 07:10 PM

nevermind..... I need a DX lens.... the ED lenses cost much more

Black Yaris · 01-17-2009, 07:12 PM

something with a 120° or so

Black Yaris · 01-17-2009, 07:29 PM

found a F-S DX Nikkor 12-24mm
$500-800 on ebay

Black Yaris · 01-17-2009, 07:37 PM

here I tried to clean up that one pic a bit

YAR1S · 01-17-2009, 07:53 PM

Hmmmm nice! I wish I could afford a DSLR...... I can only afford the bargain slr cameras I find in antique stores..... just as good, but I hate having to wait for developing the film, argh! LOL

Yaris Palme · 01-17-2009, 08:24 PM

Your first post was correct. And it would be grammar. And your actually pretty good with English.

Bob_VT · 01-17-2009, 09:48 PM

Didn't it come with an 18-55mm lens? 18mm is dam wide. The old film wide angle standard was 28mm.

Nice camera now you can download the photomatix and really play.

Did you get a tripod? Get a good one and IMO only get the nikon flash..... stay away from the aftermarket ones.
