Nikon D50 came today
 

Yes, I finally put my hand in me pocket and bought one. Superb! I am just charging tha battery now, and I can't wait to take my first racing piccys at the next Batley wednesday meet. Anyone got any tips for me? And also can you tell me where the lens-release button is lol:confused:

Thanking you:jimmeh

The "D" shaped black button at 3 o'clock to the right of the front of the lens mount face... congrats on the most excellent purchase.

will you take some pics of me flying round at gtcc please ben :D

OK thanks, Ok buzzster, I will do;) May have to jiggle the settings though, as sports hsll lighting is crap:confused:

I guess the Nikon D50 is ‘the’ camera of choice then? Thought I would check prices online, just out of interest really and they are not cheap… however I then started looking at the prices of lenses :eek: good god I didn’t think they would be more than the camera but I spotted one for £1,699 ouch!

*note to self, never ever crash car into someone camera/lens*

now you know bathy ! so watch it! :p

Have you got a link, I may buy it:D

yeah thats true, the light is a sort of yellow colour :confused:

There you go, knock yahself out huh!

For that price you'd expect every picture to be a 'winner'.

Thats the proper paparazzi lens is that, super flexible wide angle to mega zoom. Want it! :)


This photo was taken at a very yellowy / poorly lit indoor track

You just have to get the white-balance right on the camera. I took a photo of the basketball backboard and used that as a white balance reference photo.

Cool, thats still very good quality. I( will try that, I am at Batley next wednesday meeting, woudl you be able to have a look at it then for me matey.

Cheers

Ben

Course I will, generally thats all these cameras need is a bit of dialing in, and knowing what settings to use in what situation - particularly for the colours.

Cheers;)

It's a great camera. I also have one.

Have fun with it !
