Thanks Mark for the welcome . When i say manual i mean set shutter speed iso etc. etc. . the main thing i think first is to go out and use it and snap away happy and try and improve it from there a bit at a time .
Thanks Steve . Im in Clarecastle . Im a total newbie so hope to out soon now and try the d80 out . I seen your recent pic’s from mountshannon on flickr they are amazing .
