It all depends what you're into shooting.You'll certainly have enough to keep you busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the weekend I have just been shooting random stuff in different lighting conditions and with different lenses to get a feel for the settings and equipment, I am starting to get an idea of what is what, and what needs to be done in different situations to get the picture I want. I am now looking at tripods and remote releases as I am interested in long exposure night photography, landscapes, and IR if I can find a cheap enough lens filter to play around with.When you say you wouldn't use manual all the time Adam, what else would you use? Auto? Or do you mean aperture priority and shutter priority? In what situations would you use different modes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam put me onto a ripper deal. Got the manfrotto 190xprob with the head all for $250. Was on special at the time not sure wat it'd be now. Best tripod IMO, can get right down to the ground for macros and the pole the tripod head is on can be turned 90degrees.What remote releases u looking at? Looked them up awhile ago on eBay n they weren't that expensive but I never got one. Idk why lol. your car would be awesome to do long exposures at night I reckon..

I'll use it for moving subjects too. Depends what it is.I don't use Tv a lot. I'll use it if I want to freeze motion, but that's about it.I use M for flash work or static conditions. Depends what I'm trying to achieve.Can you tell me how you're working with in manual? How are you metering and to what value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also looking at this tripod http://www.teds.com.au/manfrotto-190xdb-496rc2-tripod-kitAdam, I am really just getting my head around it, I have only been using evaluative metering mode, and not sure what you mean by value? I have not tried any of the other metering modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're shooting manual how are you deciding on the exposure metering? Using the meter indicator in the view finder or histogram after the fact on the LCD?
