I bought a tent box ages ago but I busted the globes so I replaced them with halogens but it is giving me the warm white look in my pics. Trying to find a decently priced cool white fluro wasn't easy but I have bought a couple from ebay that looked okay so hope they fit and give me what I want.

I am a complete noob to photography in general but I guess we all have to start somewhere
Sounds like you picked yourself up quite a bargain at that price mate - well done!

The D3100 is a great DSLR for beginners, especially with the inbuilt tutorial/user guide in the menu, so it's a good camera to learn on.

I looked at getting one myself but liked the feel of the Canons better, so I went that way instead.

With more experimenting and practice with the various settings, hopefully we'll see some more contributions from you in the pic threads.
