I've just bought a 24-105 from Kerso and it's brilliant! I took it on holiday to italy with me and the image quality is outstanding. Whatever you get I'd recommend buying from Kerso, best prices around and excellent customer service. Blatant plug over! ;)

Really cool photos there, I especially like the last set that you stopped for. One question though - how much time do you leave for your drive to work? If I stopped to take photos I'd miss my train!

Thanks. I'll email her and see how she gets on with these instructions.

Yes, she's using iPhoto, although it'll be an old version. I'd really appreciate some simple instructions on how to resize, I don't have a Mac and my sister's not the most IT literate person in the world! Thanks.

My sister is living out in Brazil and has an old Mac running OS X. She's trying to email photos back to us but the internet connection speeds are very slow and it takes ages to send pictures straight from the camera, as the file size is too high. Do any of you Mac users know how to convert the...

Thanks Stewart, I'm going to try just doing a few shops to start with so that I get my technique right. I'll let you know how it goes and if the results are at all respectable I'll post them on here.

I want to document what my local High Street looks like, as it's constantly changing and I think it'll make a good historical project. My idea is to stitch together a whole load of photos so that I can get a long composite of the street. I think I'm going to have to get up early to avoid...

I think it's a cracking shot Ewan. My only comment would be to leave the ipod on so that it's showing details of a track.

Great shot. I keep on trying to get this type of shot but I'm always too slow so definitely an excellent snap shot.

I'm thinking about buying my first flash for my 400D and I'd appreciate any advice people might have. It'll probably be used on camera most of all but I'd like the option to be able to use it off camera too. I'm considering the Cullmann D4500-c for £169 or the 430ex or 580ex. Does anybody...

Does that mean there's a quality difference between them? e.g. 24-105 f4 = Black 70 - 200 f4 = White

Why are some L Series lenses white and some are black? :thinking:

Thanks for the quick replies! Yes, I was using a circular polariser, will that make the effect worse? How can I avoid this in the future? Will a different aperture make a difference?

I took this shot the other day but I don't know why the corners are dark, especially in the top left? Any ideas? It was taken on my 400D with a Sigma 18 - 200 lens at 18mm, f3.5 and 1/250. ISO was 100. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for a card reader too and was wondering if there's a speed difference between USB 2 and a PCMCIA adapter? I think the PCMCIA solution's neater but not sure if it's much slower. Anybody know?
