Nice, how did you do the ones in the actual car?

Big-Mac-Please · 3 Jul 2010 at 14:21

I mounted the tripod on the back seat with a leg in each footwell and then focused it in, put all the settings in and then drove off and fired the camera using a remote.

It was my first try at this and I must admit I'm over the moon with the results

Good work, the first one is my favourite. All on a £300 DSLR too, proof you don't need ££££ to make great images

Big-Mac-Please · 3 Jul 2010 at 15:19

Thanx for the very kind words there. I must admit I adore the D3000 it is such a great camera!

Love the shots.
Hoping my missus buys me this camera for a special occasion (as my birthday is not till next year!)

Save yourself the time and get it yourself like I did

She will soon forgive you

SOme nice trail lights but if I may criticise, I think the compositions for the outdoor shots could be better. THe lead-in lines don't seem to take the eyes to anything in particular.

Big-Mac-Please · 3 Jul 2010 at 16:05

Please do criticise

I'm always open to advice.

The shades of blue in the third from bottom is really nice. Very vibrant.

Are you sure ? I was last in plym at night about a week and a half ago, and the tunnel was shut and i had to go through saltash. My cars ran out of tax and just been MOT'd (passed first time, yay) so no idea if its open or not at the moment.

Big-Mac-Please · 3 Jul 2010 at 21:47

Thanx mithrandir

It is gdynia way 100%

Fantastic shots. Well done

Big-Mac-Please · 4 Jul 2010 at 09:56

Thanx lazer

It has given me a whole new batch of desktop wallpapers!

lazer46 · 4 Jul 2010 at 10:09

So, you really like the D3000 then?

Big-Mac-Please · 4 Jul 2010 at 11:34

Indeed I do! I have been nothing but impressed with it

lazer46 · 4 Jul 2010 at 14:36

I am looking for a DSLR myself. So confused biy them all. People tell me the Canon 450D is a good buy or i should go for the Nikon D5000. When i have asked about the D3000 they have said to buy something better!!

Your shots are first class mate! How can you better them!!

Big-Mac-Please · 4 Jul 2010 at 17:18

I read loads of reviews and from what I found the Canon 450D and Nikon D3000 were always the best and theres not a lot in it between them. I watched lots of youtube videos as well including the camera labs review.

I can understand why people would say go for the D5000 as it always makes sense to get the best you can afford and I believe it does have some newer tech in it but at the end of the day I wanted an entry level DLSR and I think the D3000 fits the bill perfectly.
