My New camera!!

[matts125]

Well I got tired of not having a good camera so I went and got me one, now (with lots of practice) I can get some good pictures of my tanks and fish. I got a Nikkon D70 SLR this camera seems to be very professional, I think it will take a while for me to learn how to use it right but it should be fun!
here are my first attemps I took at 10pm last night my first time turning the camera on... Let me know what you think. BTW I am only really happy with one of the pictures I think I got lucky you will know which one I am talking about:lol:

Nice pics. Do not do like me. I got decent taking pics then laid it down for 6 months and now it is just like I bought it. I forgot what all the buttons do.

It is not about the body, it is all about the lense!

[matts125]

wow dang you payed $800.00 just for a lense? thats crazy, I guess if it works right? I would hope that for now I can stay a bit cheaper then that...

Nice photos again Matt! I need to get a new camera again soon and give my Nikkon coolpix to my wife. It's a great camera, but doesn't have interchangeable lenses. Thanks for sharing

I would highly recommend the 105 nikkor 2.8. Also for all around get the 18-200 VR.
