    My attempt at a spinning coin

    If that was directed at me, then I am going to, if it was the other people, then I guess there will be other methods to do the same thing, but I will be trying something similar to the method Mr. Shepherd suggested in the future, got a bit bored/annoyed of it at the moment, so i'll give it a few...

    My attempt at a spinning coin

    Thanks for the advice, it's pretty difficult to spin the coin slowly, or wait till it's slowed enough, as soon as i think it's slow enough it falls, as you obviously need the perpetual motion to keep it upright. But I see what you mean, longer shutter speeds are tough on it as it'll more than...

    My attempt at a spinning coin

    Well.... spinning it was proving a massive ball ache, keeping the coin in one position for even half a second was impossible, took me 45 minutes of messing around with things to get these 2, which were the best out of a pretty poor and incredibly annoying bunch. Neither of them is...

    My attempt at a spinning coin

    Thanks guys, i've figured out how to do the rear curtain flash on my D60, so i'll probably have another go at it tonight. Will try the things suggested and hopefully post up a better picture later on

    My attempt at a spinning coin

    Ah, ok, thanks crashtestmac, i'll have a looksie in the manual about the rear sync on it, and see what I can come up with. Took me ages messing around to get even that shot, had to have it on manual focus, and get it dead right when the coin was in the exact spot i'd focused to, pain in the...

    My attempt at a spinning coin

    Was on-board flash, don't feel I use my camera enough to justify buying extra bits :p rear curtain was suggested elsewhere, guess that means an off camera flash?

    My attempt at a spinning coin

    No, every time I used the flash it was just capturing the instant image, even with a 1 second shutter Details... f/14 1/4 sec shutter iso-100 focal length - 55mm Max aperture - 5 No flash

    My attempt at a spinning coin

    This is my attempt at the subject of "motion" on a different site i'm on. After an hour or so lying down, trying different shutter speeds this was the best I could achieve. I was after an image of the coin, and blurred around it, how should I have gone about getting that result...

    Few sunrise pictures from our holiday in Egypt

    A few pictures of the sunrise on our holiday to egypt... 5am in the morning, not being able to sleep! Still a bit new and not had much play with the camera, so taken on auto, with the Tamron 70-300 I bought on the way out there and then a random one of my missus, just...

    Snow Day in Derby

    Went to work in the morning (for Royal Mail) sorted out my post for an hour then we got told we didn't have to deliver because the snow made it potentially dangerous to walk and they didn't want to get sued. :clap: So, i was awake at 9am, bored with nothing to do, so took a walk round town in...

    Few photos from Swansea

    Pretty much the first pictures i've taken with my D60, with the stock lens, and completely un-edited so far, uploaded with imageshack so they're re-sized a bit though! Any comments welcome, and advice of how they could of been better, cheers

    Sony A200 or Nikon D60?

    I've been looking around the for sale section, but keep missing out on stuff, looking too late after they're posted. Been offered a D70 body for £200, reckon i should get that and look for an 18-70 lens for it then?
