Few good books out there too.
This is a cracker, http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-..._tit_1_rsrsrs0

Helped me a lot.

hahaha this guy last night had photography for dummies hahahahha

was a good read

love your pic sleepy looks like you did either a bulb effect or slow shutter speed with medium app. (courtesy of the course last night)

about a 2 sec shutter. Full size is actually very blurry because it was shot hand held, but nice and small you don't notice

Apperture was wide open (f/3.5) as I was trying to get as much light in as possible, and everything in the picture was pretty much the same depth.

close

hey sleepy can you recomend a good tripod to buy locally in perth? I need to buy one?

or net?

Manfrotto are pretty much the best brand.
But they are expensive, just find something sturdy and easy to use. Some have a built in level which can be handy too.

If weight is a problem you can get carbon fiber now too

Don't skimp on a tripod though, last thing you want is your $1000+ camera falling over in a light gust of wind.

expect to pay around the $100 - 200 for something quality.

I have a velbon that cost me 50 pounds in the UK. VERY sturdy and has a level.

thanks Sleepy
