Thanks for the comments guys - I'll probably have a play with the second (I love the reflections, but I think you're spot on with the background being too busy. After the day's shooting, I must admit that I was rather tempted to buy it off him :s Bad Mike.

Hi all! My flatmate has decided to sell his Z4 and thus I got to take it out onto the common and get some nice shots of it. C&C very welcome :) #1 EOS 30D, 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM CPL filter 1/100th f/7.1 ISO 100 Basic levels, saturation and CA correction, and work to remove...

I've got me a Desire, and I love it to bits, My 'must-have' apps: Barcode Scanner, Last.fm - Free, intelligent streaming music rMaps - Maps application, not as featured as Gmaps but the map detail includes footpaths. Twitter - their own app for android (not HTC's peep) Facebook...

Good Choice. Dual core is your friend, really. Quad core is nice and shiny and everything but very few programs are capable/written to make use of it. Proper use of multiple cores requires writing some serious threading into programs and quite the number of programmers see this as a headache...

I like it, a very clean looking flash website, only two things I'd add to your list: On the front page, under testimonials, the testimonial text slides under the menu, blocking some of it from view. I'm not a fan of the filmstrip movement at the bottom of the gallery pages - it moving in...

You can use Apache - if you have a sysadmin to hand, give them a server (or make his/her day by letting them spec+build their own - trust me when I say they'll love this) Dell will build you a half decent server box and usually pre-install something unix based for you. Apache, php, database...

The CPL will reduce the glare off the coin, so place a coin with a light bouncing off it and into the camera In crappy ASCII art: (lamp) (camera) \ / \ / \ / -coin- then you spin the CPL and you should see the glare off the coin...

In the first one, Canon 30D + 17-85 IS USM 30 Seconds, ISO400, f/4 @ 17mm. if you want to cut down on the light pollution, up the ISO and go for quicker shutter speeds - but alas I left my remote shutter release at home so I went for the longest shutter time just to give me a chance to...

last time I caught them... they were about that dim though here: there's a satellite that's the bright one (you can tell by the gap in the line, which occurred between frames) and there's a very dim Perseid on the left. They can vary quite a lot in brightness, so the jury's still...

Could well be, what settings were you at? That said, it is a little on the dim side, not that I can talk :lol:

Got one of the little Blighters! only took 2 hours and ~100 frames :s Thing is, I packed up when there was a bright one right where I was pointing the camera, but the last frame came up blank and this was about 20 minutes earlier :s I reckon I must've blinked...

About to head on up to the downs and see what I can garner .. should be good :)

boom boom. :lol: gotta get me one of these xD

Yup, that works too :)

Very cute puppy :) #2's a great shot - I would've been in two minds about cloning out the foot though. Still, damm fine :)
