Thanks, appreciate the comments. It is the journo snap feel that I like about it, was not a huge amount of composition thought about it but I liked the way it came out none the less. Very valid comments, much appreciated.

Hey All, Wanted to share this one with you - bit of a fly on the wall type shot. Would love to know your thoughts. Cheers!

I was pleased with this photo despite the obvious mistake that the focus is on the hedge rather than his face. I think it looks nice, and in fact was candid although it may looked stage. Please give me your opinions, be as harsh as you like. I can take it...ahem...

Hi All I wanted to add this shot i got the other day - i really like the colours of it. The white balance was a little skewed but i think it works. The guy said his name was jimi hendrix, thats all i know....mysterious.... Tell me what you think, honest criticism always welcome!

too old or too young! sorry chaps!

Yea Gary I went straight to my brithday too! How vain we are..

ah yes i think i am slightly confused as to what tungsten film actually means - I take it you can get the blue effect by using film that is designed to be used under tungsten lights in natural light, hence getting some blue distortion. Is that right? Thanks for the info.

Hey All, Don't know if any of you saw this website mentioned online but basically it contains 1 photo a day taken from 1979-1997 with a polaroid camera. It is amazing to see the transition over the years, as well as the photographer's gradual deterioration in health. Check it out...

Hi All, Really boring question but can't find an answer online through normal channels... So, does anyone know if a vivitar 280hv (if that is right..) is compatible with a Nikon D80? If not I have to hire a different flash... Thanks folks!

I think lomography is based around the idea that you shouldn't really think too much about taking photos and just snap snap away at all sorts of things at crazy angles using funny looking cameras that are cheaply made. The Holga is a perfect example, but my advice is don't bother buying one of...

probably best to stick with TTL i think, for ease of use..i can hire a decent flash for not much.

Is the CL1 comparable to the nikon SB series ones? The metz is quite cheap on ebay and looks quite impressive, i take it it is fully compatibly with a d80?

thanks for quick reply - I'll check it out and have a play. :thumbs::thumbs:

Hi All, I've offered to take some shots of a friend's party to get a bit of experience and give him a nice prezzie. Only thing is, I have next to no experience at shooting in these situations (aside from getting the D80 out drunkenly at the occasional house party). I'm going to be hiring an...
