    Car tyres a minefield ?

    Stretched tyres are a car scene thing of having a smaller tyre width than what the wheel would normally have. EG: Normal 225/40/18 - Strecthed = 205/35/18 It stretches the sidewall of the tyre to the edge of the wheel rim. Personally If you are looking at aftermarket wheels to fit to your...

    Some advice for a noob please

    My advice from a fellow D3000 user, is for getting to understand your camera is to take a series of shots to compare side by side. example, when shooting your next car take them in this order. 1. Auto Switch to Manual mode and using ISO 100 and a shutter speed of 1/100 2. Manual - with...

    Cat Appreciation Society! - lets see those catz!

    We used to have a couple of cats and loved having them around the house. The were quite old when they passed, 15 & 16yrs old. We visit an Organic farm in Italy which has cats which live in the barn and are quite happy and healthy being there. One of them was quite the model and was happy to...

    Oulton Park 70-200

    I've recently done a couple of days at Oulton. I'm using a Nikon D3000 with a Nikkor 55-200mm DX lens. Here's a few samples of it. I think you can get most of Oulton covered with the 200, but sometimes you want that little more for the close ups. It's all down to how much you want to...

    Skiers - Snowboarders in Verbier

    I was lucky enough to get on a freebie trip to Verbier in January. I thought I'd add a few up here and get a general feedback for them if possible. None of the images have been PS'd, just cropped. My laptop needs upgrading as it won't run PS Elements:gag: 1. _DSC7398a by Chris Harden...

    Thanks for the comments. I can see what you mean about the sharpness. I was really struggling to get it tack sharp on a close up and had about 40 shots which were even more blurry:shake: Time to shop for zoom lens I think. :suspect: This is my "Secure" week picture. The only edit to the...

    Thanks for your comments of this weeks difficult theme. I've only just noticed the ghosting around the Mrs. Only found it by tilting the laptop to a funny angle,:thinking::thumbs: I didn't have to break the car to get the shot, all I did was drop a little water onto the exhaust heatshield...

    weekly Rico's 52. Weeks 7: Root (uninspired)

    Great pictures for your 52. My thoughts are, Direction: The top looks a bit too cropped for me, It could have a bit more sky to really set it off. Fear: I like No1, again as said above, the figure facing the person sitting reading would have been a better shot, possibly with a blanked out face...

    weekly *manda* updated

    Hi Amanda, Great pics for the 52 so far. I would have used the Fear of Strangers shot, as that's my favourite with the shadows and no escape routes to be seen. Agree with your Sigh 1 pic. It suits the theme great. Looking forward to the rest Chris

    No2 works better for me. The first seems too closely cropped, but no2 is just right. Chris
