From the Tamworth area specifically Dosthill stolen from vehicle overnight last night 2nd/3rd November 2016 Canon EOS 1200d serial 033071113906

So, after a couple of years out I'm tip toeing back into the frame. I love this place and top marks for all the admin for keeping it the way it is. I will be focusing mainly on macro and nature so will be a canon man again, just need to get set up with some kit and I will be up and running. I...

Welcome back Rich, I havent posted the pic of you in your hospital frock (yet). I hope you use your time wisely to learn how to take decent photos : Atvb Cliff

I am posting this with the permission of Richards wife and because I know Richard not only has many friends on here but also many admirers of his quality work. Richard became ill whilst fishing at the weekend with what we now know was a heart attack. He has had an op and is in hospital in good...

Thanks again Neil, i will look through recent threads, also, would it not be more economical to pick and choose components yourself and self build ? Atb Cliff

With respect Neil, the way computer specs change the threads won't always stay relevant and the answer is in my post ;) Thanks for the reply Cliff

Hello everyone, i need some advice for building a computer, mainly the components required. My son is 16 nearly 17 and does a lot of wallpaper/logo design for youtube like this (The music on these may not be to everyones liking but it's just so you get the idea...

:nono: 55-250mm mate :rules: :lol: 100-400mm f4-5.6L for me but on a budger and the right PP skills the 55-250mm is amazing quality for around 85 quid second hand :eek: I am the proof that the lens doesnt guarantee a good picture :bonk: Atb Cliff

Very nice Mike, i see your point with the first, the second remains my favourite and as for my waxwings i think your owls are different class ;) I would always take the advice of Kaz over mine :thumbs: Atb Cliff

I'm liking the second one a lot, i love the still body and the small amount of motion blur on the wings, the intense concentration in the eye, i can almost be there. The first one is a record shot really and i would bin it if i had a shot like the second but thats just me, Well done and thanks...

They do, twice ;) Bittern :thumbs: Atb Cliff

Lovely shot, very different from the kind of Barn Owl shot you expect to see (from others as i've never even seen one in the wild apart from a flash in the car headlights lol) Thanks for sharing Atb Cliff

You manually focus at a preset point, then when something comes into focus it triggers after a set time, the default is 28m/s but i think you can change it and yes it will work on an unattended camera because it has to be prefocussed, i believe it also has motion sensing, you will notice in the...

Thank you andYes, curiosity got the better of me and i updated the firmware and installed ML yesterday, i think i may be a bit of a guinea pig with the 50D on here with ML as nobody else has said anything that i have noticed but apart from what i mentioned above ther is the HD video, HDR video...

Thanks Cedric but i have seen that, as you set it up for continuous trap focus there is a message at the bottom of the ML menu that says set shutter half pressed in CFN obviously the custom function menus, IIRC there are only 4 options in that particular menu so i will use trail and error later...
