Hey all,
If anyone here is into photography, I need your sound help and advice.
I will be heading off to China (touch wood) at the end of the summer for a year and will hopefully be continuing my MA studies. I have been tepmted to get into photography, and now that I am nearly finished my studies, I will have the time to be more creative.
My problem is that I am buying a camera, but not sure what to get. Most of my pictures will be scenic, portraits, and will hopefully build a large portfolio of the gong fu lads I will be with on my travels. It is my first SLR camera to buy and am on a budget. Looking to buy Canon 3000 with 35-80mm lens, but want to get 28-90 lens with similar body - something relatively light and sturdy. Is this the sort of thing I should be looking to buy?
If anyone has experience with cameras and what you need for good scenic AND action photos, please tell me your story.
Cheers!
