Excellent, thanks for the feedback. I saw the web and just fancied something different than 'another waterfall shot' (I already had plenty of those :))

Hi, I used a Cokin P154 (ND8) filter.

Huh, good question! I know it rained a little on saturday. Wow, you must have been unlucky! :)

Yes, that was my issue exactly :) Nice from the other side but so busy and there was some sort of photoshoot with 'pixies and elves' happening on the top, I guess I had to get there earlier! I'm guessing on foot you can get there any time you like? I parked in blacknest car park and walked to...

Thank you, I hadn't even though about blowing the highlights in the water! Thanks for the feedback :)

That's very true, I don't know what I was thinking. I guess the 18-135mm is my perfect travel companion! Ilike the lens I've just been fascinated by the idea of the fixed normal. Well, that's £300 quid saved towards a telephoto :) I have never seen a raynox, looks interesting and I guess I had...

Hi All, I've a 550d and 18-135mm lens kit and I'm looking to really maximise what I am capable of achieving with a budget of ~£500 (revised to ~£700 by end of post :)). To cut a long story short I want be able to accomplish 3 things: 1. Macro - For close up detailed wildlife shots 2...

Hi, I am Matt. I am new here. I am new to photography. I have a Canon 550d with 18-135mm lens (The package deal one) I like to (try to) photograph nature typically. Anyway, I thought i'd introduce myself and include a few photos as well to make it a little more interesting and perhaps get...
