Mr_Willy 3 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hopefully get some use on Saturday morning, mate.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Station49 33 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Ahhh sweet mate. The 1000D is a really nice unit.The 18-55mm lens is a great starter for portraits & landscapes as well, and suits fishing pics perfectly. Larger lenses have there obvious benefits but i find myself using the 18-55mm more than any other.An interesting option to consider for fishing photos would be a true macro lens, I've been thinking of getting one, but since i dont usually carry the DSLR shore bashing it seems pointless.one tip; UV and polarising filters are a must IMO.

vb4me 1 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 UV filter is a definite must, its like safety glasses for your lens and helps image quality slightly. Polariser is good to deepen colours, sky and foliage and just like your sunnies take the glare off glass and water. Invest in a quality flash as well even for daylight use, it'll help get rid those awful shadows that you sometimes get across peoples faces from hats and stuff.
