My main concerns were that my university frequently do checks on the net to see if your work is your own, and so I'm always thinking that they'd come across an unwatermarked photo and despite having the originals etc. they may think I stole it from someone else.
I wouldn't worry, most photos on the net are very low res, so as long as you've got the original full size file with the EXIF then there'll be no doubt it's yours.
Lovely b&w work by the way...nicely composed and a good conversion.
Ive decided to get a Nikon D40 guys. Do you think think its a good SLR choice to begin with?
It's a decent camera, and you're right that the D40X has been discontinued..it's been replaced by the D60. Don't forget that the D40 only focuses with AF-S lenses..so it won't work with older Nikon lenses. This shouldn't be a problem though, all new Nikon glass is AF-S and there's a large range of lenses to choose from.
What BBA says is true though....you'll be better off with a D80...it has better handling and features.
Now the D90 has been released, prices of D80s should tumble as retailers clear out their stock...although Nikon's site is still showing the D80 as a current model. (I'm selling mine, along with a Nikkor 18-200VR and Sigma 10-20 if you're interested ;-) )
Anyone here do film based photography, or are you all into digital?
I regularly shoot with a Nikon FE2....It's my carry-around-all-the-time camera because it's so light.
Anyways, here are a few shots of mine from last year...I was having a go at that Hasselblad square black and white look.
The second shot down looks like the horizon is off, but it's not. The bridge is leaning away from the edge of the frame because of the distortion caused by the 10mm wide angle lens.
