Ok guys, thanks a million for the help :)

And Peter, trust me, I ain’t dying to spend money on the new lense, well, scrap that, I am, but the flight ticket’s taking priority!!

Once again, thanks everyone :)

Really like no’s 2 and 4 Jody. The memorial in the foreground works for me, gives the whole image a wonderfully foreboding feel to it :)

Though I would have cropped in a little tighter on no. 4 to remove the other building and cars, although I didn’t notice them at first, now that I have I can’t not see them. Still a gorgeous shot though!

Both of these pictures are utterly gorgeous, but the foreground in the second one really does it for me. I’d hang it on my wall anyway! :)

Thanks Joseph :)

Really like the second one myself, even have it as the current desktop!

Have a few of no. 3 with less foreground, might have a dig around for them.

Was well disappointed there was no freak show though…maybe I could do that if I joined them :lol:

Peter,

Yup, pretty much, and I was even willing to work for free… Seems like it’s gonna take me another while yet to get anywhere. Ain’t gonna let it get to me though, it’s their loss in the end, a spare spare of (FREE!) hands is never a bad thing.

Peter,

Went for an interview on Friday and that was the first thing I was asked, what are my qualifications (answer – none, just passion :lol: ). Needless to say I didn’t get the job, didn’t even get as far as showing the portfolio. Seems that the qualifications are becoming more important for those of us starting out! :(

Will be having a look-see at what courses you offer :wink:

Hey thanks for the interest everyone :)

Alan, this is about 5 mins walk up from my house so will pop up again, and give your advice a try. Just hope the farmer doesn’t run me off his land!! :lol:

Yeah I was actually looking at the cmit one myself, I tend to pick things up quick enough once I get the head down so the 6 months isn’t too off-putting for me, plus the boyfriend’s going away for 6 months so gives me something to keep occupied! Agree with ya on the camera club, already been looking into a few myself!!

I’m lucky in that my boyfriend’s into photography too, so he’s delighted to have my interest (finally!). You should try getting your missus more involved, took a while for me but now I’m the obsessive one!!

And don’t worry about the grammer, spelling etc. This is the ‘internet’ dontcha know, none of us speak real english anymore! ;)

Thanks Dan, that’s kinda what I’m looking for alright, an all-singing, all-dancing type for now :)

Will have a gander round at the 2nd hand 40D’s, if they can save me a few quid happy days! All the more money to spend on lenses n the like! 8)

Mickey – have been looking at a few home study courses myself, would be interested in which one you went for and how you’re finding it if you get a chance to let me know? Like yourself, am only getting into photography and am so knowledgeless it’s utterly shamefull! In fact, any help that anyone could give would be great :)
