That was the 1st time i had had the lens out so i was just geting a feel for it really, plus the car was dirty(ish) that day, so didn't want too many close up pictures. I've got plenty of plans for others pictures though! Thanks for the posting.
I'm using a Canon 400D SLR and loving it. It is such a nice camera to use as well. I have never had lessons or anything like that, but if your happy to do a bit of reading and spend a few moments getting it set up right, it can produce some great pictures! I managed to get a full lightning strike picture last year, just by taking a bit of time and being patient, and also very lucky!
