Horizontal horizons!!

Top tip for you guys shooting landscapes with horizons....while you're framing your shot always ensure the horizon is horizontal...it's amazing how many images you see that aren't...now if you forget I'm sure your photo suite will rectify the problem, however, in doing so you'll loose a goodly chunk of image....


Horizon all over the place.....


Horizon horizontal....

LOL
I'm trying to get into photogrpahy, hoping my dad gets me one for christmas....it'll be a difference from asking him for reptiles lol
good tip Tony

Great hobby to start Joe...thought about what camera?

Well i'd like a good starter one,
But...
Just from looking around over the last while these are in my bookmarks

But i don't know, i am going shopping tomorrow so i'll have a look in galway cameras which is meant to be good :)

Joe,

The Nikon S 3000 compact kit looks like it's going to have all the functions to keep you happy [and busy] for a good little while....why don't you ask your Dad for an early Christmas present...and of course that educationally it's a prerequisite...us parents can be pretty easy to persuade...

Thanks, i was in again today Tony and i was told to get the s8000, funnily enough http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/nikon_coolpix_s8000_review/ let me take some random pictures and let me use it for a little while and it is amazing Tony, will show my dad your post though might help ease him into getting one

he showed me the s3000 aswell but it was cheaper lol so he was like ''the other one is better'' loved it though so nice and massive screen on the s8000 model

Great and right enough the S8000 is a far superior camera! Now to get "sweet talking!!"

lol
I love the controls to it! really easy to use and he went into detail on loads of things i can't even grasp lol but i'm sure it comes with instructions

Joe...where would any of us be without an instruction manual....and a simple one at that [for me anyway]

hahaha
I might do a few videos of the reps and there set-ups too....it has HD video recording!!! Definitely a must buy i think, plus theres loads of things around me i could photograph for practice

Gd, gd, the more camera enthusiasts we have on the forum the better....have you had a quiet word with your dad yet....?
