Hi everyone, until yesterday I had left my DSLR collecting dust, and thought I will get back into it. I decided to format the memory card, but before I did backed up what I had. There was an image of our sea wall (a sea defence system, as I live on an island below sea level) covered in wall art...

Oh I see. I've become so used to checking the in camera meter when not using a flash I was using it as a guide. I still often have to ignore it though and add some exposure compensation or if in manual change the shutter speed or aperture. I will remember to ignore it mostly when using the...

Thank you all for your help, I managed to get my dog playing last night with one of her toys, I needed the shutter speed slower and aperture wide and it was still showing as underexposed on the in camera meter- BUT with the flash, I managed to get some good shots that I can print for myself to...

Ok that is good to know. I am just trying to experiment with my camera, I have had it since joining the forums and wish to try some different things with it now to pass the time. I will try it indoors as today is pretty gloomy in Essex, and see how the results turn out :)

Ahh, now I have watched the video I understand! Thank you for your help, I will do some research into freezing motion during daylight with the equipment I have. I am sure there is a way for me to do it, and finding out is quite fun! It gives me something to do with my time and also learn...

Thank you for your reply. I may repeat myself, I do not mean to but had a brain injury that has really effected my memory. I was wishing to be able to freeze things such as my Mum throwing a toy to my dog, or things in the air. Hopefully after that video I will have a better grasp how to so...

Hi everyone. I am still trying with photography and enjoying it. I just want to freeze motion, but I can't seem to get my shutter speed to work faster than 1/200s with the flash. If I got a transmitter would this allow it, or do I need to get a higher end camera body just to practice a...

I have never heard of the area, but I must say from your photos it is somewhere I would like to go! With the moss on the roofs, even to the way they sag and differences in height, it looks like what I would imagine somewhere upmarket in the 1700's to look. I am an amateur at best, but my...

I like those images mate, and the title cracked me up :) . I really like the way the light shows through the birds feathers in flight, think it adds a nice dynamic to the image. EDIT: Sorry, I meant as it was opening its wings in the water as if to take flight.

Hi everyone, I am still loving photography and feel my photos are improving but I am still yet to get a tripod. I would ideally need one that can reach around 5 foot in height at least, if this is what I need for studio photos. If I need something bigger advice would be much appreciated...

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well and have had a good Christmas. I want to get some of my photos printed in various sizes, I just am unsure which websites offer good quality prints. They will be various sizes I am printing, to give to family members and friends. There seem to be a lot...

Wasn't today, was 2 days ago but just put them on my Mac and edited the raw file in capture NXD. My friend has been a big help modelling, and enjoys doing it. I wanted to practice with my backdrop. Sorry for the shadows and lighting, I haven't yet been able to afford anything else so am using...

Unfortunately I live here. We moved to get away from London when I was younger, as we used to have a caravan on kings ourselves! We used it in the summer and school breaks for holidays. My family liked here compared to London, so we moved. It's turned into a right S**thole now, people are...

There is that symbol, I Never checked and wasn't aware this was the diameter of the thread. At least I now know for the future, I just ordered the lens without realising there were 2 different ones with different sizes.

I know it's a joke, but I'm pretty broke at the moment. A new lens will be purchased as soon as I can afford it for my needs ;)
