    how many lenses do you own and how many do you regularly use?

    with the d80 I've still only got the kit lens, but with my old canon film I have...: 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 135mm, 200mm, 300mm and few zooms that i rarely used. Out of those, my most common lenses were the 35 and the 85. I wouldn't normally take anything else. I can't see myself chasing a new...

    Forth Rail Bridge, decent light!

    indeed, Im happy about the lack of drama aswell. Contrast works well with the orange/blue and i think clouds and other shiz would have ruined that a little. nothing to pick at personally, some water detail might have been nice.

    Macbook

    The standard macbook has ditched the firewire... shame really. However the pro still has firewire 800. Also the white macbook retains firewire. I suspect this is because most users simply never use it. As for recommending, your PC seems a beefy spec, I'm using an almost 3 year old Macbook...

    Lens Swapping (Relentlessly)

    still only using my Kit lens as I havn't even upgraded to a nifty fifty yet.. this is mostly because i dont feel too limited by the kit, especially with the summer light coming in i find myself doing less dusk shots where the low aperture would be a problem. thinking about it, you may find that...

    Photoshopped images disquailified

    agreeing with the judges myself. although it makes for interesting imagery, it can be difficult to call it photography soemtimes.

    What was your first......

    Mine was also a Kodak, but i've forgotten its model number Was a Kodak Easyshare DX something or other. 3.2 mega pixels, but it took a really really good shot, especially compared to my new Casio 7mp thing. Infact you can still see some of the shots i took with it online (posts some links)...

    Which DSLR camera to buy?

    Try 2nd hand, I only reason I can think to avoid the D60 is the lack of an AF motor in the Body, so you need special lenses for it (and there seem to be a lack of such lenses... i think). the 400d is a good camera also. However check out 2nd hand, I don't know about Milton Keynes but theres a...

    Holga - Making bad images beautiful

    Indeed, any walk that starts in Greenwich and ends in Victoria is a long one. I find walking around suprisingly easy though, as theres always something to hold your attention. And if you want to take photos (especially street), theres no other option.

    Holga - Making bad images beautiful

    Film was new, but was crappy Boots film, 200 ASA. Bought it because I'm poor and also because I realised I didn't have the be picky with film with a Holga. Indeed it might be out of place, I sort of like it though, looks a little barren.

    Holga - Making bad images beautiful

    Yeah man that shop is pretty awesome. Shame the cakes are more expensive than the coffee! I often walk from Tower Hill either along the thames or up into Cheap Side and Farringdon then across to Oxford Circus, mostly cos I like the grit of Farringdon. Never get the tube/bus in central, just...

    Holga - Making bad images beautiful

    Some of the results from the first roll of film from my Holga 135. Some dodgy results, but thats what its all about... happy accidents. Once I learn to tame this beast I hope to get some much better stuff, quite happy with these though for the minute. 1. 2. 3...

    Help picking first slr

    Indeed drop the Olympus purely because of future lenses, I'm sure the body is up to it but you have to look to the future. As for the cameras, is there much of a difference between the d60 and the 450D ? My only doubts about the D60 would be it's auto focusing (or lack of it), due to the way...
