In defence of the megapixel mania... I think it's a leftover from the early 2000s, back when most digital cameras would genuinely produce pixelated images printed anything above a 6x4. The 3.1 megapixel camera came out and suddenly you could print a bit bigger so it was a huge selling point, but...

Thanks so much for all the comments. Ced, you're absolutely right, I'll put more thought into the background next time. Too easy to get caught up with just the camera and subject. Lawrence: my 2nd favourite lens, the Canon 50mm 1.8, on a 40D using the onboard flash :D

My camera didn't see the light of day for about six months last year (eek), but I we were in Spain recently, so I took it with me... It was a little bit like learning to walk again, but this is what came out. Always helps to have a pretty model ;) Any criticism especially appreciated, as...

how very sweet! So small and vulnerable. 1 & 3 are my favs just for the tiny-factor!

I think this thread needs a fresh bump - I've just had a clean for the second time since getting my 40D two years ago, and it's worked wonders. It's scary, but if you follow the instructions there's nothing to worry about. Go all ye toggers and clean your sensors! :D

Looks like Casper the friendly ghost :) maybe it is Casper the friendly ghost...

Very nice shot. It reminds me of those cola bottles I ate too many of as a kid :D

For me, it'd have to be the B&W version. The only thing is, the water in the colour one has an amazing ethereal look to it, which is slightly lost in the B&W. Perhaps a little more contrast just on the water in B&W. Just an idea. Nice shot already though :)

you're right, sorry - I meant too small to type with 10 fingers like on a traditional keyboard (though without a physical keyboard, even if the size is right, it'll be tricky unless they have haptic feedback) it'll be interesting either way because knowing Apple, it won't be released till it's...

+1 for a hopeful Aperture 3 release. but the tablet is what really confuses me - how do you type on it? Too big for thumbs, too small for fingers. I'll be really interested in what they've come up with. (Sorry to hijack the thread :bonk:) :)

I was having a bit of fun with the hammer and chisel :)

I wish I'd gone to a GP back when they still had the V10s. It's all about the sound. Anyway, I hope you get a more exciting race than Monaco. That was a snooze-fest.

Ooh how exciting. It looks fantastic!

It's the big puppy eyes that do it. Lovely shot btw :thumbs:
