We have an Epson Stylus SX115 and I've just replaced the black ink tank with a brand new Epson Cheetah cartridge which is supposed to be bigger. Upon installing it I checked the nozzles and a few of the lines were missing so cleaned the nozzles, which didn't work and cleaned the nozzles 4 more...

;) That looks fabulous mate!! Would I be able to do that with Lightroom?? The original has a resolution of 3888x2592. Would that be okay for printing a canvas of maybe 50.8cmx40.6cm?

:( I've switched from Flickr to Picasa Web Albums, still no joy.

We spent a few days down Lincolnshire last week, and whilst there we visited the BBMF at Coningsby (well worth a visit BTW). Anyway, just down the road sits the end of the runway so we thought we'd take a look down there as the son is an air cadet who is planning on joining the RAF. I managed...

Yeah the rocket blower got rid of the particles on the focus screen. As for the aperture, I was experimenting. :shrug: I'm a novice to dslr's so don't really fully understand what I was doing. Will you forgive me?? :lol: What I was trying to do at that point was see if the setting sun behind...

Took the 400D out the other day, and whilst changing lenses in the breezy conditions I noticed a fibre of sorts on the focus screen. When I got home, in somewhat of a panic, and having no cleaning equipment being a novice I tried blowing the fibre out with my breath to no avail. I then...

When I worked for BAe Systems at their submarine facility in Barrow there were signs all the way around the perimeter warning that photography was prohibited under the Official Secrets Act. The same goes for their Royal Ordnance factory in Gateshead. I know he wasn't photographing the building...

Went out earlier with and noticed after changing lenses that there's a piece if lint or something next to one if the AF points. When I got home I took the lens off and had a look up inside the camera and could see a small fibre next to where the AF points appear to be etched into the viewfinder...

I'm actually quite stunned at how clear they are to be honest. Thought I'd dropped a clanger buying a 400D almost immediately after buying it. :lol: It hasn't got liveview though, one of the reasons I thought I'd made a mistake. Indeed it is Sarah. :lol: RE the backgrounds, where will I...

:D I've had a busy couple of hours. Not really got the hang of it yet like but it's all practise! 1 MilkSplash by rodofgod76, on Flickr 2 IMG_3813 by rodofgod76, on Flickr 3 IMG_3810 by rodofgod76, on Flickr 4 IMG_3809 by rodofgod76, on Flickr 5 IMG_3790 by rodofgod76, on Flickr 6...

No.2 reminds me of the exploding paint advert Sony had a while back!! :thumbs:

Thanks Ash. One thing I'm a bit stuck on is how do you alter the aperture settings on manual mode? Wanted to experiment a bit but I couldn't figure out how to change it. Another thing, when focussing in MF, do you still have to press the shutter button half way?? (I know I'm such a noob!!) :)

A Kelloggs Frosties box?? :D Amazing pics mate. :thumbs: Last winter we kept spotting a wasp in the shed and thought nothing of it, other than unusual to see one in December. Come the spring I found it starting to build it's nest on the ceiling. The small cone it had started was many...

:lol: this was rather enjoyable to say the least! We've only had an SLR for 6 days and I'm loving it. Haven't a clue what I'm doing in all honesty most of the time, but I'm slowly starting to understand things with the help of this website. Anyway, he's a couple of the 25 or so pics I...
