WOW super Photo's....Loved them all and they gave me a few ideas....Cheers

I can see all the plus's for a tripod with just the one drawback "cumbersome". I use a monopod, firmly braced and get the shutter speed down farely low but I carry most of my tog stuff on a motorbike BUT, if I could find a sturdy travel tripod at a sensible price....I'd buy it!

Cheers st...been looking up on the focus issue and as you said, it seems manual is the way to go. Going to have a play asap....Fun is in the learning although it sometimes doesn't seem so ;)

I like it Emma, not for it's expertise but for the idea and fun :) It's given me some ideas I'd like to try out....:ty:

I suppose you could describe yourself as "full immersed in diving" ....BOOM BOOM :D

Thank you Artisan, nice little vid, was it shot just hand held ? I'll give this a try this weekend and start looking around for a deal on the VideoMic seeing as it's coming up to my birthday in August ;-)

Nothing to be nervous about....I like them both but No 2 at a pinch is my fav.

Think the photos are "Hot" ;) but why isn't there any of a roll of Andex so soft in the fridge :thinking: Joking apart....I like the set a lot :)

Sorry for the basic questions and any help would be much appreciated. I've been thinking about vid on the Canon (650d) for some time and one of the issues is audio. When I have shot inside with the on board mic it sounds slight treble/echo ? and outside, the slightest wind makes a terribly...

You have to suffer for your art James ;-)

Yep, viewed on Flickr this photo is fantastic! Super. Thanks for sharing it.

Yep I can see what people mean re the building on top but the light and composition for me work! Maybe this is the best shot that can be taken at this location ? It really is super Thanks for sharing it Chris.

Same here on my MB Pro....Would like to see the same shot without the big stopper....maybe give a little life into the scene, then again you were there to try out your new filter. Thanks for sharing it Chrisc.
