    Anyone ditched landline 'phone

    Don't look at the short-term pricing, look at the long-term I currently only have broadband from Virgin Media and it is cheaper than their Broadband and phone line package However, if I cancel my existing rolling contract it would be cheaper for 6 months, but after that it would be more...

    Anyone ditched landline 'phone

    It depends on who your Internet provider is At my previous property I had no choice about the BT Landline, as there was no alternative in order to obtain dialup and then broadband However, at my current property phone and Broadband are separate (TeleWest, now Virgin Media) My first years...

    Beginner Night Sky Long Exposue

    You can't do much about light pollution, except seek out a dark sky location However, you can adjust the white balance in an attempt to remove (some of) the light pollution Try again but with a longer exposure at a lower ISO, 20 secs at ISO 400 ISO 2000 is more suitable to a longer focal...

    Beginner Night Sky Long Exposue

    Clouds are always an issue, as is patience for a completely clear sky A great sample photo though, and practice makes perfect Therefore, could you please advise what camera settings you used for this result, as I have yet to take any night sky photos (taken a few subjects in darkness so far)

    Keep it simple, and move on

    I've just purchased a Canon 100D (crop factor 1.6) 18-55mm IS STM Kit and 55-250mm IS STM Lens These are EF-S mounts, but the same Crop Factor applies irrespective The only time I have referred to the Crop Factor was when selecting these lenses, so that I could compare them to my old Minolta...

    I have now solved this issue I noticed on some scenic photos the AF mode was initially focusing on the immediate foreground all the time I had also noticed what I was seeing in the screen did not match the Manual This then confirmed it wasn't the lens but the 100D itself It took me some time...

    Keep it simple, and move on

    The weather was rather against me yesterday to take some sample comparison photos I had hope for some scenic photos but for some reason the 55-250mm IS STM lens would focus but not allow me to execute the photo I suspect this was due to AF mode on the lens, and the mist and the objects within...

    Keep it simple, and move on

    I've had several cameras and camcorders over the years I bought my first SLR in 1989 A Minolta X-300 Sadly I can't remember the three lenses I had, but I suspect the main one I used was a Tamron 35-210mm I then moved on to a Sony CCD-TR415 camcorder in 1998 In 2009 I then replaced this...
