Thanks for your advice, i see your point about the moon behind you, i suppose it would detract less from the shot. Anything else i could work on?

Just wondering what you all thought? All C&C welcome ROB_6047.jpg by Rob Umpleby, on Flickr Taken with a D7000 on a tripod. Thanks for your advice :thumbs:

Ok, thanks guys, i think i need to do some more research and come up with a short list!

I really like this effect but i think in my opinion you maybe could have highlighted a bit more of the black with come lighting? Only a suggestion!

Your so lucky getting to drive that! #4 is a great shot, the curves on the car contrast the angular building so well!

Wow i never realised the camera moved to compensate for movement!

Thanks for the advice! I saw that manfrotto were giving away a free pistol grip with some of there carbon tripods but it was around £200 which i think is a little pricy, or is this a really good deal?

Thanks for the reply! When you say the carbon fibre one, do you mean any carbon fibre one or do giottos make a specific one? Any advantages and disadvantages to carbon fibre vs aluminium?

I have a lenspen and love it, the carbon end gets rid of finger prints so easily!

Thanks for the advice everyone! I think i just need to wait for the weather to improve! It really is horrible! I do like the idea of highlighting something with light, maybe ill try that at night, thanks for the advice! Cant wait until spring!

Hi everyone, I am looking to get a tripod however im not sure how much i need to spend. I would like it to be compact enough to be able to take travelling with me but not sure if Carbon Fibre is the way to go? I have been looking through the threads on here and quite a lot of people...

Hi everyone, I really want to get out and shoot some landscapes but the weather is really dull and overcast at the moment, does anyone have any tips on how to shoot landscapes in this kind of weather? Is it just a case of lengthening the exposure? Thanks

Why does image stabilisation make it worse on a tripod?

So the closer to the subject the higher the minimum speed i suspect?

Thanks! Thats such a good tip! So at 50mm need to have shutter speed between 70 and 80? I guess that is for hand held shots and for tripods you can pretty much shoot whatever as long as its stable.
