Cheers gents and ladies, plenty of food for thought here and much mulling to be had. I see there is a slik 88 on german ebay for 40 euros, I will investigate further. :)

Hello sage forumistas, I have an area where my knowledge is lacking. Tripods! Okay, there 1000s on the market and so a recommendation thread will yeild hundreds of possible options. But what am I specifically looking for in a good all round tripod? Light weight, height, rubber feet? Any...

If you can defocus so that the bar is only a slight discolouration then photoshop could be used to blend it out.

Budget is the big thing here. You can pick up a second hand camera for less than a hundred quid with a kit lens that will take lovely, if slightly limited photos, or you can blow thousands on a pro rig with many very expensive lenses and have all the whistles and bells. Any camera is a good...

Morning all, I know what I like to photograph and all in all I'm happy with my end product, but does anyone more learned than me have a decent link to anything online that might give some hints and tips on composition of an image? Something that might outline any of the basic academically held...

Cheers Paul, I've been the proud owner of a Nikon D7100 for the past two weeks and have been merrily pointing it about the place snapping away and then swearing that the picture I've taken haven't turned out as I wanted. :) I've got my head round depth of field (with the apature priority...

Now THAT is the sort of thing I like to know. I'm nothing if not a skinflint.:D

The D5300 was what i was looking at for a long time but I ended up with a near new D7100. It doesn't have the modern flippy screen or wifi but I can use older lenses as it has an internal lens motor which was what I fancied. That and it's slightly bigger an I have massive hands. :D I've...

I'm a beginner who has just spent pretty much that exact same budget on a Nikon DSLR and have very quickly realised my camera was a piece of equipment it was going to take me quite a while to learn how to use. I hadn't figured out the sheer number of different settings I can change on it and...

Wow, This thread really did have legs! Thanks to everyone, I hope other beginners such as me have found it as useful as I have. I got the afformentioned DSLR for a steal and I've installed both Nikon's own software and Gimp and will try both out and see which one I click with. I'm going to...

If you're looking at the one on Amazon for 85 ish quid then me too. I've been through all the online reviews and it seems you get what you pay for. It does a job and is good value but from 250-300 the focus isn't amazing and the auto focus takes forever. It seems to score about 3 out of 5 most...

I'm in advanced negotiations in the buying of a second hand Nikon DSLR that is so cheap I feel a bit guilty. Problem is it doesn't come with the original packaging or software. I quite fancied having the Nikon software and keep everything in house and brand loyal and that. So, can anyone...

Hello, I look forward to loads of photos of carrot being munched! :)

Black and white sounds fun......

I could, but given im an expat in a country I don't speak the language of to well then I really think going about the faff of getting films developed, when the pictures are going te be the random snaps of a beginner, is probably going to a be a waste of time. Once I've got an idea of what I'm...
