Ooops grammer police :( trying to type on a iPhone screen with fat fingers is a chore at the best of times Ok sorry - To be more specific, camera equipment such as a camera (eos 700d), nifty 50, tripod (model TBC), external mic for video audio recording (model TBC). We use BT business direct...

yes, cheese - thats why i asked here, a photography forum. ;)

Can anybody recommend a supplier that will allow us to purchase using local authority purchase orders, our normal suppliers only have some of the bits we want and was hoping to get all from one source. Cheers

Thanks for the replies. My only gripe with a dedicated video camera is that we don't have a decent stills camera for the shows etc and i estimate we'd be taking more pics than video. Students would only be using the camera under strict supervision so that shouldn't create such a problem. We...

Our school was looking to purchase a half decent video camera and camera however the budgets just won't stretch so it has been suggested to pick up a DSLR with video recording facility, something like the Canon Eos 70D. We're not after high quality recordings, just something better than our...

Do any forum members live in the Harrogate area and have more shots of the TDF Tree? Would like to see some more as i was just passing and only got one quick shot Cheers

Thanks for the replies. I was a bit stuck with DOF as i needed the aperture wide open to get as much light in as possible. I wanted to avoid pushing the ISO to 1600 as they do get quite grainy so had to compromise. The backdrop for the event was abysmal (think 70's social club) hence i took most...

Was at a small gig last night getting some practice in as I'm working and playing at some events over the summer and want to capture some nice images using my EOS450D and a nifty fifty. I was just shooting handheld as i was ducking between stands and speakers etc and was trying not to get in...

Thanks again for the info, all of which is greatly appreciated. Im going to blame user error for now as looking back through my iPhoto library there seems to be some reasonable images, this one taken by my daughter using the point and shoot mode and the stock lens...

Sorry for the delay and thanks for the input. Ive not a lot of raw images to hand but was out last weekend at a wedding and took a few shots. This one i tried really hard with. It was in fairly low light using the canon 50mm f/1.8 ISO 800, f/4, 1/125...

Here's an image using the 50mm prime lens. ISO 400, f/10, 1/200 https://www.dropbox.com/s/ibhuiijnv7wabyu/IMG_3123.CR2 and the same using my kits lens 18-55. https://www.dropbox.com/s/09ds2inj14s9uzq/IMG_3126.CR2

Right, have thrown some sample images on my website. No cropping Images 1 to 3 (50mm f1.8) ISO 400, f/10, 1/200 images 4-6 (18-55 kit lens) ISO 400, f/10, 1/200 to me they all look soft but i do need new glasses EDIT - Image issues - will be posting links to images asap.

Tell me about it, i like my music gear Hope to get some sample pics today and drop them on my website. I do like close up work, not full on macro and thats something I'm saving up for (a nice lens). Maybe i should sell a guitar or 3. Have read the thread in detail shortly after posting and...

Hello Ive always been unhappy about the softness of my images and in the last few months am getting back into my photography. (its an on off thing sadly due to work etc). Primarily i shoot low in light most of the time, local gigs etc and picked up a canon 50mm f1.8 prime lens and a budget flash...
