We've got a Nikon J2, just never use it! Would that be any good to start with or would I need something better?

You could start photography with a disposable - makes no difference. It's about getting out there and just getting some pictures.

Best piece of advice I was ever given, especially if you're shooting a subject - think like you have film and every picture counts and costs. Taking a thousand photos of something at different angles usually leaves you with a thousand picutres of stuff at a boring angle.

Find yourself a subject and capture it in the most interesting way possible.

EDIT: Oh and never be scared of getting up close to the subject.

Good quality advice this! Another tip would be don't get too stuck in a rut shooting the same sort of thing all the time, try and mix it up a bit, keeps things interesting. Wink

Glenfinnan Viaduct 1987 - behind a big throbbing Diesel (type 37 ?) - there was a steam special on that day and I do have a pic 'somewhere' Smile

I am trying to sort my photobucket library into some sort of order LOL
So am just posting some random shots as I sort into files Smile

Foreground is an Airship Mooring (tie down) Block - Background are the 2 Airship Hangars at (ex) RAF Cardington,Beds
The fence posts are normal height so gives some idea of the size of the block.

A trip to the outer hebrides some years ago - along one of the most 'interesting' roads I have ever driven on (B887)  Smile

The road went right past the main entrance to this Castle (now an upmarket B and B lol)

Wow, that photo of the Glenfinnan Viaduct in 1987 is so amazing, I was 1 year old then!!

I absolutely love seeing old photos. 10, 15+ year old photos, older the better. Just love it! This is one of the main reasons I love photography this much, I hope to one day look back on my own photos and admire them in years to come!

This is a photo I took of it on my trip up there 2 weeks ago Smile

Yeah old photos are fascinating - the glenfinnan pic was taken with my old Ricoh compact 35mm camera which I mostly used for gliding  pics !

This one I took at 45mph with my 5 year old sony ericsson phone - it has an 8 megapixie lens and always takes great shots sometimes Smile

I always got mixed up with some of the Diesel classes,the Deltics sound fantastic - and great to watch a very cold start on one Smile

Still cannot find the Steam engine photo from glenfinnan station - hopefully it will be 'somewhere'
