    Anyone tried a lensbaby?

    You get used to it. And you have to use your knowledge of apertures/light intensity/fields etc... You get the hang of it. Shame I am on my work comp right now as I could have showed you some before and after shots... got my LB1 last summer and have got used to it at last. It is a really cool...

    Anyone tried a lensbaby?

    It IS a lens in itself - the LB1 is totally manual. I don't have a LB2 or LB3 :-( but I they are all manual. They are all slightly different but the differences seem minor (aperture discs are manually inserted in LB1, magnetic levitating in LB2 and LB3 and with LB3 you have the facility of...

How much omph do i need for a party - like a wedding party or indoor wedding photots at a longer distance.... I am unfamiliar with the lingo... 'guide number'? Sorry I am such a newbie when it comes to...

    Anyone ever bought a nissin speedlite?

    Woahhhh And that is the exact same item too. Maybe it is an old website? a chancer? a high street price? At least this nissin brand seems to be plausible. Now the only issue is the customs limit, which is £18. So once I've added customs vat on I still get a decent price... will look into when I...

    Beginner - Canon 350d or 400d?

    Very little difference in price? I think the difference between £250 total and £400 total (even if you count the cashback whihc is on at the moment) is ALOT! I get by using free cameras I have managed to get hold of and those cheapo macro lens for £12 LOL So it is alot to me and maybe others...

    Beginner - Canon 350d or 400d?

    Are you for real? Is talkphotography big-brother like? Or was it a page load error etc....? I was a member of a forum (won't link and shame) and they were so anal about alot of things and went round delting things... not a good environment. Please tell me TP is not like this! :-)

    Photoshop???

    From my own experience I have PSP 9. It is really good for creating imaes, posters, editing and creating photo artwork. It also does the basic cropping and colour saturation etc.... It is really reliable too but I am thiking it is not really a 'photographer's option... I use it for webpages...

    I've lost my 'eye' and inspiration

    I feel that there is safety in numbers. I did my degrees over at Durham Uni and I used to walk around the city, camera on, taking thousands of photos. It was a studenty, inspirational area. I lived just opposite the cathedral. I produced some of my best photos and even learned how to develop...

    which speedlite?

    Wow! That's what I meant by compatibles (like with ink cartridges LOL) Thanks for that - anyone know if these nissin are any good? Which EX would this one caompare to?! Exactly what I was thinking must exist - just some randoms in Hong Kong knocking them out... Don't you just love capitalism! :-)

    Beginner - Canon 350d or 400d?

    Yes but as far as pictures what is the difference between a 350d and a 400d? I think not much. I have only had my 400d for a short while ..snip.. but as far as I can tell it is just the same as the 350d but with a couple more MP. So I think... so what really. Fine I sold on my 350d to another...
