Finally got me the SLR I've been longing for
Photo number 475 and it's the first one I've been properly happy with although most have just been random crap lying around in my bedroom
Hope you like

450D I'm guessing, due to the IS kit lens....

im probably guna sound really thick now, but how do you makie it so that you can read the lettering as when you take imags in a mirror they are reversed, do you just reverse them again in ps?

10 out of 10 to that man
Paul, yeah, you just do Image>Rotate Canvas>Flip Horizontal
I can't believe how much better it is than the S5600 I had before
Just need to get out shooting with it now, went out the other night but forgetting to knock the IS off when it was on a tripod made all the pics a bit shakey
Ah well, live and learn

Yeah there's a few of us about on there now.
Deano, your best bet is to have a good read of the manual. Have the camera handy whilst your reading it and just keep picking it up and trying things out as you're reading through it. I find that the best way then when you've read it and tried stuff whilst it's fresh in your mind then once you've done that you should have a much better understanding then it's just a case of getting out, taking loads of pics, come back, tidy em up if they need it, post some of em up here or even better get on Talk Photography and ask people for c&c then most importantly, read their comments, take it on board, then go out again and again and again. You'll soon get the hang of it.
Another point, if you take a photo then when you get it up on the computer there's something wrong with it or there's something about it that doesn't look right but you can't put your finger on what it is, don't just delete it, post it up somewhere, get other's opinions. You may not be sure on why it's not come out properly but there's a good chance that someone else will.

My effort many moons ago, you really dont want to be using flash in a mirror

Not so good attempt, the lights are directly above the mirror, didn't notice the glare round the lens until I had it on the computer
What way are you using to turn to black and white, or did you take it that way.
I used black and white and blue channel in photoshop, blue looked the best.

Mine was a 2 second exposure too I think, ( someone check the exif ) its deffo on a tripod though
and i took it in colour but over exposed it cause I wanted me to be blown a bit, then just - - saturation and ++ contrast

Another go with kit lens and I processed it from RAW.
Still nowhere near as sharp as yours though mike.

How does the original look? To me it looks like it's quite a sharp pic but uploading to cs has killed the quality.
