Dear all,

Just got my D70 a month ago. Not only am I new to DLSR but also to the photography as I recently decided to take it up as my hobby.

Nice to find an Australian forum on D70. Please browse my first pics at http://members.optusnet.com.au/alexgitlits then go to D70 gallery. As I am a true newbie, pls be gentle :-)

Note all other photos on the website are NOT taken with d70.

Cheers
Alex

Hi Alex, nice shots, liked them all, except the first parrot shot, probably should have been set to spot focus rather than "closest subject" as the leaves are more in focus than the parrot. Welcome, hope you enjoy your D70 and being here :wink:

Hi Alex - nice pics expecially the Gerbera that is in focus. Focussing is something that needs to be mastered with the D70 as it really only has one crossed AF sensor and that is in the middle - keep the pics coming :)

Thank you, all guys for your helpful replies. Yes, the parrot is out of focus now that you mentioned it. I was in a hurry to take the opportunity :-(. I love the camera and there is so much to learn and read.

Cheers
and thanks again

Alex

Hello Alex

Welcome to the forum!!

There is quite a bit of a learning crve with the D70 and the more you learn, the more you find there is something else to learn! :lol:

You are amongst excellent company here and you will be constantly amazed by the depth of knowledge and wisdom that abounds.

All the best and thanks for sharing your photographic efforts thus far
