    Beginner [changed title] macro photography without reversing the lens

    Sorry I have been absent. I still want to try this project, and I've been buying a few bits. Actually I seem to have a desk load of them now. I'll list them and take a photo, and then maybe you guys can advise me on the next steps

    Pentax PK autofocus adapter

    I've picked up a cheap Sigma zoom lens with a Pentax PK-A mount, and I want to see if I can use this with my 350D. It seems there are quite a few PK adapters, but the auto-focus confirmation ones don't seem to be available any more. Is it worth my trying to hunt down one that handles the...

    Beginner BEST WAY TO LEARN PHOTOGRAPHY ?

    I must be getting old, because I can't get my red line to rise as a percentage. The more I find out in the learning process, the more I realise how much I don't know. I guess increasing my aperture and exposure will help me to rectify this.

    Beginner BEST WAY TO LEARN PHOTOGRAPHY ?

    I had to "learn" photography to create images to use in various property related legal cases, and to help me restore vintage vehicles, and old agricultural equipment. I stopped trying to use manual modes, as I could never create better images than the automatic settings. It is only since I was...

    Beginner which camera to choose meeting

    The answer is simple - it needs to be a Banana pi 8Mp camera module. https://www.amazon.in/Generic-V3-0-BPI-M3-camera-chipset/dp/B0727N5CD1

    Beginner I've just bought a Canon EOS 1000F with a Sigma lens

    I've already got a FinePix HS50EXR bridge, and I thin that is great, even though it is now obsolete. I bought this camera and lens as part of my EOS 350D low-cost project. I've learnt a lot from this so far, and now that I have replaced the system battery ( 99p for 6 assorted CR20 coins from...

    Beginner I've just bought a Canon EOS 1000F with a Sigma lens

    I'm really impressed with the FujiFilm bridge that I bought a few years ago, It's got loads of features, but up until now, I've just been a happy snapper using it in auto mode. Since I've been researching this 350D, I've started to vary the ISO and aperture settings on the Fuji, and it has...

    Beginner I've just bought a Canon EOS 1000F with a Sigma lens

    Well most of the bits I'v bought have arrived, but I haven't moved forward very far. The Jessop battery is useless, so that has gone in the bin, but the Canon one seems to be holding its charge. The charger came with a new battery, so I've got that to fall back on. The long range lens I bought...

    Bristol is set to become the UK's first city to ban diesel cars from entering parts of the city centre

    All modern vehicle seem to be having remote controls fitted. My point was that the older diesels (and other vehicles) don't have this facility, so forcing people to abandon them increases the potential to control the traffic. It isn't a conspiracy theory, it's an observation on the published facts.

    Bristol is set to become the UK's first city to ban diesel cars from entering parts of the city centre

    Diesel vehicles are more environmentally friendly than electric ones. All the electric vehicles do is to export the pollution out of the cities, and into the countryside. However, electric vehicles allow the government ( police ) to control driving and journeys, from a remote location, and I...

    Beginner Videos that have changed my perspective of photography.

    I've been taking photos for years with only a minimal knowledge - I believe that I could be called a "happy snapper". Since I've decided to become a digital nomad, I've become more interested in photography as an art form, and as a means to publish a message. There are a few videos that have...

    Beginner I've just bought a Canon EOS 1000F with a Sigma lens

    Thanks for the replies, and I did spot that thread. It looks as if there are a few versions of this lens, and I'm hoping I've got a later one. If I can link an Ebay pic here, then I'll post an image.

    Beginner I've just bought a Canon EOS 1000F with a Sigma lens

    The Sigma lens is a 28-70mm 1:3.5-4.5 , and I'm assuming that I can use this with my 350D. I'm getting impatient with the struggle to find a cheap lens, so I put a bid on this on Ebay, and I've won. Now for some questions, as I don't want the 1000F. The camera was listed as untested, and I was...

    Beginner Rejected stock images

    Well done. Shutterstock seems to be the winners in a lot of these stock photo questions. I think they are going to be my first choice once I manage to create some decent images.

    My recent charity shop finds.

    I've found a few images that contain this beaker on Shutterstock, and I was hoping I might be able to use it to create some unique commercial content, but I haven't thought of anything yet.
