Nice pictures, thanks for sharing those.Graeme McKellar wrote:Hi Erik, Nice camera the D80. I've had one for about a year now and just love it. I have the 18-135 and 70-300 lenses and my next one will be the 60mm Micro. I love the rich colours the Nikon gives.
Cheers Graeme. PS. Manual focus is really hard to master so stick to "spot focus" and use focus-lock. Always focus on the eye.
I've only had my D80 for a few days, but I already love it so much. I have the 18-70mm lens and plan on doing landscapes, so my next lens will probably be the Sigma 10-20mm. These pictures were mainly practice to develop a feel for the camera, but maybe I'll be looking into a micro lens in time to come. Can't wait to see what such a lens can capture of the kubs.
All my pictures here were manual focus and like you said it is really difficult, but good practice. (The eye is a good tip, thanks!) I still need to work out all the settings, I'm sure there's much more than I've been working with so far. Absolutely fantastic camera!
Regards,
Erik

Hi Sea Sprite, Dutch (aka Erik) started a Post in the O/T Forum back in May titled "Future Project: Camera". Go to page 2 in the O/T Forum if you want to view it. Cheers Graeme.
