Apologies RAV, I certainly had no intention to offend but your post had dropped down the forum and I attempted to help as best I could based on the your description of your situation. :) At least it's bumped and now getting attention!

If you haven't been able to obtain satisfactory results from either the 300D or 350D, to be blunt, you are doing something wrong. Although both are introductory D-SLR bodies, both models are capable of delivering fantastic shots. My advice would be to stop blaming your equipment and be more...

Wide Angle optics push consumer level equipment into a higher price bracket if image quality is important. Any WA converter/adapter lens is a compromise and you will experience Chromatic Aberration and image blurring/distortion regardless of the optical quality of the adapter - the mismatch...

Wide angle adapter lenses are junk - I've seen many mixed reviews for them but they have always been misleading; at best I put it down to a substantial lack of experience by the user, more worrying is deliberate misrepresentation. I've tried a few over the years and been let down by all - they...

Definitely a valuable introduction to the subject Amin - also worth mentioning is the use of distilled water for the bubble mix. The contaminant free water provides a stronger surface tension when the bubbles form, this helps with extras including forming larger bubbles and being able to...

That's also my workflow and I've had no problems with it. I'm still curious whether my printing choice represent the best option available though.

To the best of my knowledge both are true to a large extent. The Adobe profile is technically superior due to the extended colour gamut but only if the printer/developer is using the Adobe profile for calibration - the majority use the more common sRGB profile as the basis for printing so using...

Always shoot in RAW, save them in the RAW format and don't modify them in any way. Edit and save progressive changes ideally in PSD or TIFF format to another folder/directory. When you have completely finished post-processing, save your final copy as both a PSD/TIFF image and as a JPG...

Why "knock yourself out" over a 2mm difference at the upper end of the zoom? :p I've used both the Canon 10-22mm (hired) and the Sigma 10-20mm (bought) and the difference between them is very small - negligible if focal length is your primary concern.

At least have the option... Your basic range of filters should include a Polariser (circular if you are intending using an Auto Focus lens), an ND Grad. (also referred to as as a grey grad) and a few Neutral Density filters - these offer flexibility to vary exposure independently of the...

A thoroughly distasteful and inappropriate reply on any forum.

Since the image is presented from the photographers POV/perspective and I'm assuming the photographer is asking the question, point "A" is left of frame. Unless stipulated otherwise, I assume the frame as viewed, is the reference. It's up to you as the photographer to make clear what you...

I can assure you, SHE will take exception to YOUR mistake regarding gender! :D For a member that has managed to accrue such a large post count, I'm surprised you've made such a basic mistake! I'm confident, despite evidence to the contrary, you're occasionally capable of being an equally...

A thought provoking question Phil! Contrast isn't as immediately obvious as colour strength, brightness and focus when you look at a subject through the viewfinder or even if you use Live-view or an equivalent feature (including when taking a shot and previewing on the camera LCD for obvious...

I'm uncertain of the legal position regarding image ownership if the business has folded. I'd be inclined to assume if any debts remained, the ownership of the images would be regarded as a low value asset but they still would fall under control of the bank or liquidator responsible for asset...
