That was the one that stood out for me, especially as it has the added option of VR.. Main problem is delivery, our post man just chucks things over the wall (included signed for) so ive had a number of things broken or flooded with rain water when I get home despite complaints... :(

Looking to get my first zoom for my Nikon D60. Looking to spend around £100-£150, I know whatever I get wont be amazing at that price point, but the best of a bunch is still the best! :D Looking for around the 200mm top end, I currently have the 18-55mm kit lens so starting around the 55mm...

Amazing! Thanks! I'll keep that as a backup if I dont hear back from an email to the contact page. Trouble is I cant speak spanish... :( (Where did you get that info from? I Checked the whois page for the domain but gave very limited info...) I had considered asking for enough to cover a zoom...

Thanks for the input. Main reason I said I wasnt after money was partly because they are just point and clicks with a bit of editing (Im sure some people will tell me that doesnt matter though!) and the fact he is in spain... Does that make a difference at all? (that he is in spain?) Or is...

Hey everyone. After someone posted a link to using google images new search by image thing to see if your photos have been stolen I thought I would check the 5 most viewed on my flickr. While I admit most of them are snapshots from car shows Ive attended and Im not so fussed about them...

If you have a tin of quality street, take two of the orange/gold see through wrappers off the toffee penny ones, sling them over the head of your flash (hair bobble works.) Then set your camera to manual white balance. set the white balance off a piece of white/gray card directly under a orange...

I'm a bit late to this party, the last one is at the pump house by SA1 in Swansea isn't it..? ;) They dont look soft to me, then again you've probably sharpened them already. Definitely shoot raw though, its much better for messing with afterwards. As far as WB goes it can be fiddley...

Think the X10s camera is about the same quality of the HTC Hero and yeah you cant polish a turd lol. Vignette I have found to be fantastic for not only making low light photos better (you can set it to overexpose and wait for steady hands to take a shot) but also has some really interesting...

I am yet to get a grey card but have a white small reflector I have used previously?

Good Idea! Didn't click that the lights in the house are a toned down version of the ones on location. will have a pop at that tomorrow. Im guessing that by going half CTO and when white balancing away from tungsten a bit it will also keep the car the correct shade? (Im not too fussed what the...

My first night of trying out off camera flash Photos under rubbish orange street lamps for my mates car on Friday... After some advise, if I may? :D His car Is orange/gold... He wants photos of his car at a location that I know has orangey yellow crappy Tungsten street lamps... Im...

I may be going to the Epynt stage with my familly. Doubtful I'll have a zoom by then so 50mm will have to do... =/ Then again, I'm only going for my own enjoyment. Follow it on the TV but never been to one before :D

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. The sb600 is far far out of budget, especially for only using it rarely. I will look at the jessops one later tonight. Does anyone know how it stacks up against the yongnuo yn465? Thanks.

Right then, I have two Yongnuo 460-II's for off camera stuff but would like to try some people shots at an indoor car show I am attending. The location has pretty mental lighting and none of the area is evenly lit. So because I have never tried people shots before and because of the...

I love the look of vintage planes, the last good looking plane was/is the Harrier jumpjet. I know nothing about planes, but these shots are fantastic. I even like the tree line in number 1.
