Fast? What does that mean?
As in drawing the Web page. IE is a lot better now but earlier versions were sluggish. Download speed is a different matter and dependant on other factors.

Microsoft end support for XP next week so it might be worth considering an upgrade. Chrome is generally considered to be the fastest browser. When it comes to IE, I have found 3rd party toolbar addons can affect performance, so disable any you have installed.

Yes, I'd say they are subtle. I didn't automaically think HDR.

I'd guess 2, 8 and 5 are.

Some peaceful scenes Nice colours, sharpness and contrast, looks to be a very good lens.

Years ago (before zooms really took off) the accepted wisdom for starters was you could photograph almost anything with just a pair of 28 and 135mm lenses and I think that's true. I still have an MX but I haven't shot film for a long time so can't really advise on that.

You might find a flash useful.

It's a nice picture. The ageing (sepia) is good but I wouldn't have introduced fake scratches and creases, they don't add anything.

Although it's generally considered to involve photographing people, some have expanded the meaning to cover urban landscapes (which is a lot less embarrassing for the photographer), see below

It's all just digital information in different formats.

Some a bit more versatile than others
