Awesome, These will come in handy. Looking at upgrading my 550d to a 70d. Spent a good week non stop researching and just watching videos. Excited about getting some nice new glass to match. It's like christmas! ... sorry

Just got towards the end and the last 30 or so photos are JPEG and not RAW though! VERY annoying and I don't know why it did it. Anyone have any ideas? I definitely didn't flick through the menu at this stage. Is there a button to quickly change the quality on the d600, I guess there is but I...

Oh no wasn't paying. Just helping out a friend. I'm still a student I just do some photography on the side. It went kind of OK. Well let's just say it wasn't a complete disaster. I think I have enough nice photos to make them happy but not nearly enough as I wanted. The photos are just that...

Preferably no motion blur tbh. A tiny bit on the feet/hands might be OK. Bah, I'm just gonna have to prey I can get something to work and make sure the client is happy, don't like not having hardly any time to experiment though.

Oh no. As i thought, this is the nightmare I was fearing it would be! I told a photography lecturer about this event and he never recommended flash, I don't think we can rent any flash guns for this camera anyway at my Uni. I'm not a photography student it's just a small part of my degree you...

Hi guys, I'm shooting a charity fire walk event tonight and it's something I've never done before. I'm using a d600 and am thinking of trying multiple exposures. I was also tempting to play around with a rear curtain sync. I've only ever done sports photography so this is gonna be a massive...

Hi, I'm going to be working abroad this summer at one of the 'party' destinations and want to take my camera along with me! I'm a student so don't really have the best equipment and probably won't get a job in photography, most likely one of those annoying PR guys or bar work, but I thought...

Ok great. I will use the pro version and will try get as close to A4 as possible but I think the grey/black card idea is great, and will try that! Thanks alot!

I've searched through i few threads but haven't quite found what i want. So I'm using DSCL to print off some boxing pictures i'm going to include in my portfolio for a media related uni course. I'm having trouble on deciding how to do this. I reckon A4 will be big enough, I've gone for...

thanks for the input :)

Hi, did my first boxing event not too long ago. Got a couple of photos not great tbh, out of focus/soft. I shot it on a 450d with a nifty fifty (not ideal), /200, 1600, 1.8, i think. I had to open the lens up alot due to the iso capability of the 450d. Anyway i was looking for some advice on...

You're right with the depth of field! At 1.8 I have trouble tbh. However I read the 1.4 is sharper at the same arpertures. Also with the iso, I have a 450d which doesn't seem to go any higher than 1600. I read if I shoot it raw I can effectively do this post, is this true? I'd be worried as I...

Bearing in mind no flash aswell, I just can't see anything but a prime being fast enough. 50mm is great ringside. However will have a look at both of those! The huskey racing thing, I'm not too bothered about I wouldn't be doing it often. Been looking into hdr images and really liking the...

Haha, i think you're right! I guess i'm just looking for something a little better/more versatile than the kit lens. I'm still new to it all and just finding my bearings, learning! The 70-200mm, do you think that will be fast enough? I'm talking very low light, and the 50 is fine as i'm...

Hi, so i've been thinking of upgrading my EF-S 18-55 IS kit lens. I like the lens but heard some bad stuff with it. I've not really been able to experiment too much with it, as i mainly do indoor sports stuff with poor light which i use my 50 for. I'd like some advice of which zoom lens to...
