Photography Talk

I've had to buy a Manfrotto tripod to fit the 393 Gimbal head as my Velbon tripod wouldn't serve the purpose because I couldn't find an adapter for it. I did think about a Ball Head but there were too many negative remarks about the combination of a Bigmos and a Ball Head when I did research...

A little later than expected but I've posted some 'maiden' shots with the new camera in the Member's Gallery section...

What makes you think I would remember something like that, Steve???? Yes, ..........I must admit I do!!, back in the days when I was in the rif raf. Batteries can be a pain!!! When I used to use my Canon Powershot it would "eat" the alkaline batteries like they were going out of...

Thanks Woo, I will add it to my compare's Jack McH

Dont use compressed or tinned air at all on your camera, you might dislodge dust but you will also add water at the same time...so canned air is a definate no no. If you must blow air into a camera use a rocket blower, dont even think of blowing with your mouth either...thats got mositure in it...

Thanks Steve, it all makes sense now.

Good evening Dave many thanks my friend I am now trying to get in touch with Microsoft

It must be somehow staged I guess? Anyway lots of planning, patience and skill have gone into it.

Thanks Steve will have a look at some tutorials

Wow super human eyeball Mk1 Jack McH

Another pair of Wows WOO! I love the panaramic view.

I agree about the usefulness of the 18-55 focal range (or 28-85 on full frame) as - in practical terms - it will cover you for a huge number photographic situations. Also the kit lenses are usually more than adequate in optical quality. My most used lens - by far - on my 5D is a Sigma 24-60mm...

Your expectations fell flat then, Stephen??

Scrungee thank you with your Focal Ratio and the explanation below The f-stop is the focal length I think it is safe to assume that f means Focal Length Divided by Opening The f-stop is the focal length of the lens divided by the diameter of its opening. Each consecutive f-stop...

Has the digitalisation of photography ruined the artistic and creative elemet?I'll make an assumption that you are referring to post processing with your question, because 'togs still need to operate the camera and thus be creative with it's use to take artisitic photographs, the processing to...

wow thats quite a film.. impressive, the best films are the ones you don't plan It must have had some weight, but the quality was ok so who knows. The size of the pieces of food some gulls steal I wouldn't be surprised if it was a full sized camera!

A lovely close-up Woo.

The 'pool doesn't have any Only Jessops and some smaller camera shops that went bust a long time ago. Now have to rely on Argos Let's hope Jessops becomes such a successful online business that it takes the high street again in the future* Stephen is deluding himself again*

Two super shots Strongy, but as you've already noted, being back-lit it's hard to get exposure perfect. I don't know if you used it but 'spot metering' rather than averaging is handy in situations such as those. Paintshop Pro is pretty good, I use PSP8 quite a lot as it's fairly simple and...
