Well, I was here before, but yeah, it seems I have a much more capable 
tool in my hands now.

I already have a tripod. It isn't very *good*, but I have one.




adjustable, so you can use the ceiling as your diffuser. (If you 
indoors, at least.) 18 meters at ISO 100, f/1.

I bought the camera from John Lewis, who apparently don't sell any 
accessories at all. [Except the carry bag I already purchased.] But I 

each. (I gather my current lens has a list price of around that, meaning 
that the lens is significantly more expensive than the actual camera!)

Weirdly, I can't seem to find white-balance calibration cards... Maybe 
Jessops sell them in-store and just don't list them on their website? 
(Also, didn't Jessops get liquidated years ago??)



Given the photos I've shot so far, it seems that the camera has stopped 
being the limiting factor. The problem now is light. There isn't enough. 
Or it's the wrong colour. Or it's in the wrong place...

I guess that's the problem with it being winter, so there's no daylight. 
And my flat is quite dimly lit. (Do you know what colour temperature is? 
My friend Tungsten does...)
