Have to agree with Mole, P_B and co 100% I think.
I started taking RC photos back around March or April as a DSLR virgin. Picked up a Used (700 shots!) Nikon D70S 18-70 Kit and started shooting at my indoor club. Shocking off-white flouescent lighting. Took about 1000 shots on the first night and probably had 50 that were acceptable (I wouldn't be so bold as to use the word good!). Over the coming weeks I would try different things and gradually work out how to get more out of the equipment. What shots worked and what didn't. I borrowed a lens or 2 and bought myself a 50mm 1.8 which did clean up the shots quite a bit but I found the lack of zoom quite restricting.
Once the outdoor season started things became a whole lot easier. Again I took about 1000 shots at the first meeting and probably had 400 acceptable with 200 good or better (at least in my amature eyes).
Stick with it, it's rewarding when you find the few gems you took amongst all the dross.
Regards,
Jon.
