Hi all, Firstly, I apologise if this is a stupid question.... I have a sony A7iii full frame camera. I see there is a mode called APSC / Super 35 which is great for getting that little bit of extra reach. I guess this is down to cropping the image sensor area, and using less pixels ? reducing...

I had a trip out to Lincolnshire wildlife park this week, to try and get some camera practice in. I wasn't expecting to get capture any great shots, but amongst other captured this tiger shot which I was really please with.. DSC02469-2 by Mark Cox, on Flickr

Thanks all for the suggestions, I shall have a look at them all. @Nod I will be staying about 5km from chania, a place called Nea Kydonia.. I've never been to Crete, so some recommendations for sunsets and sights would awesome

I've recently purchased a Sony A7iii, which came with the 28-70mm kit lens. I've had some pretty good results with it so far, but would like to expand my options. I am going on holiday next may, to Crete, and would like something I can take with me to get some great holiday shots, mainly...

Hey all. Just got my first camera, Canon 600d, and have been playing around with it, taking loads of pics, getting used to settings and what they do, got loads of naff photos, but quite a few nice ones. These are a couple of my first bird shots taken in the garden. Pretty happy with how they...

I certainly will. It's a slightly longer focal length than I really wanted, but for the price it was a no brainer, and now I know it's not the camera that is at fault. I would like to get a general purpose everyday lens, preferably with a nice zoom range, not too bothered about prime lenses...

Thanks guys for all the advice. Sadly I didn't have another lens to try, or another camera body I could use to try the lens. I was in a local charity shop and noticed they had a couple of canon cameras and a lens sat in a cabinet. The lens was the canon ef-s 55-250 which I got for a measly...

I have done exactly that on the flash. When it's up it works fine, and once it been released and put back down, it will pop back up intermittently when needed a few times before it stops working again.

Hey guys. Noob here. I've just got my first dSLR camera, a canon Eos 600d, that a friend was kind enough to gift me. It came with the ef-s 18-55mm IS II lens. I'm not sure if the camera or lens is faulty, or I'm just doing something wrong. I started out by putting it in full auto mode, just...

Thanks everyone for all the tips and advice. Looking forward to getting out and taking some photos

Hey guys, first post here. I'm just about to get started in the world of dSLR photography, having always used a smartphone, and prior to that, Fujifilm point and shoot digital cameras, and even old film cameras. A friend of mine has gifted me (just waiting for it to arrive) their old dSLR, a...
