Bilbo and other photogods

I've got a Canon D3100 and I'm off on a big holiday soon, so I want to make sure I'm dead good at taking photos before I go

I'm still at the stage of point a camera at something funny and hitting shoot. I may as well have an iPhone....which I do.

Any hints or tips, thinks I should look at, settings, things to buy etc? For example, going to New York, I'll probably take a million photos in the day and night when I'm there. Any help would be massively appreciated

There's much better than me on here qualified to speak, so wait for them.

Depends on your budget. I took a camera around New York last summer and it was ace. All you need is:

1 - a subway ticket and a comfortable pair of shoes as you'll be walking all day.
2 - a comfortable but not expensive camera bag that won't do your head in walking all day
3 - your camera and a spare battery charged up
4 - two lenses - usually an 18-55m or equivalent, and a zoom lens.
5 - if you do have spare money then I recommend a prime lens, like this which is brilliant value and worth having.
6 - a plan or where you want to go and what you can expect there, its easy to aimlessly wander in NYC and miss boss photos.
7 - make sure you look up all the time too as there's some boss photos there.
8 - work out what time sunset is and pre-book yourself into the Rockafella Center forty minutes before for some great
photos.

Mostly, enjoy lid. It's my favourite city in the world - apart from Liverpool like - and it's perfect for anyone looking to take ace photos because the people and the place are so interesting and weird.

No such thing. You probably mean a Nikon D3100 or a Canon 1100D.

Chico's advice still holds either way.

Neat filter. What you you using on the "painted" ones for the effect?

Photoshop's oil-paint filter. Don't normally use digital effects, but kinda liked it for those two pics.


Info for geeks: the black n white shadow pic was in-camera ISO-102400 :o
 



Not a 'technically' great photo by any means, but thought that this little fella deserved a mention.

Took it on my phone, as the SLR's battery had died.

Thanks bro. Can't wait. I just don't want to come back with your average photo this time, like I did last year.

One thing to learn is about how shutter speeds and apertures work together m8.


HERE << is a good read on getting the most from the different modes on your camera lid.
