i escaped from jessops in November, but what i'd do is go to your local shop, try and find one of the full time members and get them to call up the person at 'stock movement' i think thats the department whilst you're in the shop. more then likely the guy in head office will just say that if...

the only way you can kinda force a shallow (ish) depth of field on a compact is to use the zoom, as at higher focal lengths dof is smaller, and to stand as close to the subject as possible... the only proper way would be to get a camera with a larger sensor as written above

not used those ones before, if the lenses are just the older series with the aperature ring then i would go for this guy linky link i've used that quite alot although i don't own any old nikon lenses as i no money... if i had the money i'd go for the novaflex versions because i was recommended...

with my 400D and 1D mk2 i found to have to set the camera to effectively +7 exposure compensation for sunny days, if it is cloudy then it's just muckying around on the day as everything looks more dull. i'm guessing the newer cameras maybe a little more. i would just go for the hoya r72 or...

now which one was done on a laptop screen whereas the others on a supposidly calibrated monitor.... is it A, B, C or D answers on a postcard. i was so upset with a score of 8, i thought i would get such a higher score. something like 90-95 and i couldn't work out you guys were happy with 0...

hello, with selling alot of bits and pieces i've been thinking of getting a printer and scanner, i've always thought about getting them seperately. i was eyeing up the Canon ip4700 and now the ip4850 it's replacement, but was thinking is the difference between them and say the ip2702...

i'm not sure really, links for the lazy 280683910693 & 280683915683 they're for the older canon cameras, so useless on newer cameras without the adapters, he's also selling a 50mm and a flash for the same system (canon spelt correctly too), i think it's legit. but, as they don't know anything...

first of all i would send a message asking if it was possible to not have the image wrap around and so give a white edge, as this would make everything alot easier. with the white edge this is how i would do it ****** if you change your image size pick something like 150dpi and 60" by 40" the...

i'm rubish at describing stuff and spelling. what you've written is pretty much what i was trying to type out. (wish i could rewind time and not look like an idiot)

kinda of, you can get on the market some LED ring lights for macro work with SLRs and Compacts. the a few of bigger ringflashes actually have 2 bulbs which give alot more power and control (i'm pretty sure on the metz ones you can offset the power to either side) if your good at...

that's why i almost blew up a battery or two. if i run with the same 12 LEDs again which i probably will, and run it off a 9v battery then running 3 parallel sets of 4LEDs in series i would need to have 3 '22ohm' resistors in parrallel. thats if i've understood the diagram. look on the...

cool never noticed that, i'm going to try and salvage mine from the super glue..

thats how it ended up looking after wiring but as the battery wanted to explode i never finished it. i stupidly used superglue to fix the LEDs in place so that i think is a great waste of £15 ish on LEDs. now that i've got an infrared camera i think i'll have to reattempt building this...

the d50 is in the menu. pencil image then #14, and then it's the bottom option. this thread has reminded me to charge my battery for tomorrow, thank you.

I've tried in the past by using IR LEDs but as i have pretty much no grasp with electronics i almost blew up the batteries, (never seen a 9v battery heat up that quickly before) a kind chap on youtube sent me this link http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz which should be able to write out a wiring...
