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...)

Oh, right. I just wrote 20 pages about a camera, and didn't post any
pictures...

Here's a slightly more expensive paperweight.

Take one ordinary box of chocolates. Shoot sideways with the widest
aperture the lens can manage. PROFIT!

That second image? Probably the single best photograph I've ever taken
in my entire 35 years of being alive. Just so you know...

I liked, and was going to comment on the first one. And then I scrolled
down to the second...

Can you see in the dark? My camera can, apparently.
This was taken at night, in the dark, through a pane of glass, from a
brightly lit living room into a dark alley, with bright light coming
from the facing window... and the camera has somehow *still* delivered a
really quite acceptable exposure. I mean, it doesn't look like broad
daylight, but the signs are all perfectly legible...

Thanks. :-)
The Sun was behind the clouds, but just as I took the final shot, it
unexpectedly started shining, and give the image some nice highlights. I
did half a dozen shots similar to this, but this was definitely the best
one due to the superior lighting.
Although... now that I look at it... that's rather a lot of sensor
noise. ISO 5600? Hmm.
So I went back and tried to redo the shot at ISO 100. Aaaand captured a
whole load of camera shake, and not much else.
I see there's a 40mm f/1.8 lens that's cheap...
OH GOD, IT HAS STARTED! O_O

Is that some type of bong?
