Steve - If you're still having issues with this, give me a poke. I'm finally getting a little bit of free time,a and will have a look if you'd like? Cheers, Rob

I should definitely have something for this one, I just need to post-process my holiday shots :-D Rob

Hi, I'm pretty keen on macro photography (quite a few of the images in my current showcase are macros - http://www.rshk.co.uk/index.php?p=photo&a=showcase). Shooting with my Sony F717 taking macro shots was easy, there was little to no extra effort required! However, I've recently got the...

Good work on getting the data back. Really, you didn't get charged /that/ much for the data recovery (relatively speaking), a client of mine managed to never backup their business transactions (before they became a client of mine, I might add!) and ended up paying somewhere around £80/GB for...

Excellent, thanks Steve. Looks like I need to start thinking :-) Rob

Jessops in Halifax is better than both the Jessops in Huddersfield. There aren't too many great places around here for camera equipment. Manchester's Jessops is a little better I find, but the Jessops in Halifax is where I get most of my kit from! They know my Dad and I by name now, and are...

Hmm, interesting Steve. I love macro photography, but since moving to the 350D, I've been pushed a little away, as none of my lenses have a short enough minimum focal distance. I'm looking for something that I can shoot flora, macro still life, and insects/other living stuff, general...

Steve, A few comments, I'm sorry, but as above it doesn't work for me. I'll try and quantify that a little - it's the composition that does it for me, it's a very simple layout of the image but the subject matter doesn't really suit the situation (I feel). I don't feel to flow through the...

A little bit of critique Dave, I've a tendency to be a little harsh, so, first off, sorry if I offend you :-) To start out with, all the pictures with the zoom effect in them, for me, are the better images, there's just something rather dull, or bland about the others. Sure, they're nice...

From what I've seen the 18-55 isn't that bad! I got the 18-55 and 55-200 USM lens (seems Jessops Hudds had been telling me some porkies), the battery grip, and camera body for £950 including the accidental damage cover. Two weeks until I get it :-) Rob

First off, thanks for the replies :-) The 350D feels nicer to me than the 20D for some reason, the size is more "snug". A horses for courses issue I feel. The 55-200 USM lens is the one that's included apparently. I have a 18-55 + 350D reserved at Jessops. The 55-200 will take a couple of...

Hi, I'm looking to get a Canon 350D :-). I've decided that I'd definitely like the 18-55 kit lens. I'm a newbie to SLRs, but have been into photography (when time permits!) for around 2years. I've noticed that there's a bundle of a Canon 350D, 18-55, Battery Grip, and 55-200mm telephoto -...

Incedenally, I've taken another one of the top one to improve the focus on the Apple key itself :) Arkady - I see where you're coming from, they are really just inanimate macros, I'm not sure to what exent a finger, or whatever would move them this category to any other. They're just images...

Critique welcomed. Rob

I find that external Firewire, or USB{1,2} disks are the best way to backup, not only can you automate the backups (if you so desire), but they also hold enough data to make them useful for storing most of your images, software, and operating system if you want! Also, you can search for images...
