Not bad for starters ... more pics pls.

Nolar ... maybe she's a swimmer. Regular pool goers usually dun buy tinted goggles, she knows her stuff.

You dun want noise? Then you will need a camera with a CMOS Sensor, NOT a CCD. Join NONAC ... anyway, you still have time

You're selling off your camera and filters? You're upgrading or jumping to Canon

That is what lotsa newbies refure to learn nowadays ... "adjust according to environment". New generation photographers tend to leave an average of 60% to software work or post processing becoz it's easier and 'more comfortable' to sit infront of the PC rather than figuring out what to do in promptu, blammin poor quality images to the lens (usually the kit lens) and their noon skills.

Rest assured, that unless you're willing to improve on your composition, angle and light play, couple with colour reading skills and mastering your white balance, you can remain as you are for the next 10 years or so. Save the cash to upgrade your PC or post processing software instead.

You forgot to add ... "See lenglui dun sauchan (handshake)"

Hey hand numb enough, other places dun numb ... later cannot make love think properly and take photos
