An update
So what’s been happening my end?
Well, I finally took my advanced motorcycling test and passed and I am finally taking some piano lessons. The skiing trip went well and I finally have enough skill to fake being confident on even quite high mountains and even enjoy myself while doing this 🙂
I’ve finally done it and bought an SLR; having spent my late teens carefully borrowing my mum’s Yusika I have bought myself a Nikon D5000.
As a gadget freak, this camera hits most of my check list, but the thing I really enjoyed about using the Yusika semi-automatic (one of the first semi-automatic SLRs) was its simplicity.
The Nikon is not simple. The user manual seems obvious enough, there are enough controls on the aperature and shutter length to allow me to capture most things really well. But there are a lot of things I can control and I don’t really see myself being able to remember all this when the time comes!
So, I have options:
- Buy a course – book, CBT or tutor led
- Experiment like mad until I understand the thing backwards.
- Use this as an opportunity to meet a new group.
🙂 I’ll let you guess which I do…
