Ah, what you're describing here, is pretty much what I've been doing for the past 18 months, backpacker/travelling photography for the everyman. It hasn't really required half as much thought as you seem to have gone to the trouble of, but then photography does sort of take a backseat to...

I actually find the other modes on my 40D a bit distracting. If I accidentally move the mode selection when I'm wearing gloves out in the sticks I immediately wonder what the hells going on when I can't change the shutter speed and aperture. For all Manual has its hinderances, its mostly what...

That really made me laugh. In reference to thread, I asked myself the same thing, but no matter what lens or camera body you're going to splash money on, I would always need to do something to the RAW file. I just know that as good as camera technology may be, they don't think like the eye of...

Upon closer inspection it seems one of the metal connectors on the grip is permanently depressed instead of being upright and springing down like the rest. Could this be it?

I just googled this but didn't find an answer. For some reason the dial that controls the shutter speed (and flicking through photos etc.) doesn't seem to work, yet the shutter button, focus point and exposure buttons work percectly. Any ideas?

I think that thread is convincing me. We get a lot of sunny days here and they're managing to get 30sec-1min exposure times... maybe I'll take the plunge.

I know the difference between and ND grad and a 10-stop, I guess it was just my wording. I think I have down the "basics of photography" as you worded it, but I've had a couple of years where my only filters have been UV and CL-PL and I wanted to experiment more. I was reading up on...

I'm looking at getting a couple of filters, opting for the Hoya HD polarizer and now I'm looking for a 10-stop. I remember seeing some widely accepted brands for these filters a while ago, was B+W one of them? I'm pretty much looking for the best I can get around this quality, looking to...

First of all, thank you to everyone for your replies. I think a good portion of my problem is my tendency not to talk about myself which means I don't get the opportunity to receive advice on a scale such as this. I appreciate your ideas and support and I am most certainly taking them seriously...

This is a large weight I've been carrying on my shoulders for a while now and I'm not expecting much in replies but I feel I need to get it out. Sorry for the "bare your soul" type thread. I guess a bit of background is in order. I'm 19 right now and this time last year I was living in Cyprus...

For the second time: "Text on the blast door map suggests that DHARMA Initiative researchers were attempting to genetically modify the polar bears to allow them to survive warmer climates." http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Polar_bear

Gareth S gave this a good bash but I'll try to elaborate. The best way to quench the unanswered questions is to read this quote (which was in reference to the numbers) without :dummy:: "There are some questions that are very engaging and interesting, and then there are other questions...

Spoilers here, so the choice not to read it is here. I don't think it was a waste at all. I felt a lot of the magic go from season 4 onwards, but there was still nothing to compare it to (on screen, at least) and you have to finish the story. It was still well-written, and there was a lot of...

I've felt awful all day. That horrible sick feeling at the pit of your stomach when something comes to an end. What a great story.

Don't open your mouth when there's nothing to say. Don't open your shutter when there's nothing to shoot. Just go somewhere different, a change of scenery. Don't have your camera around your neck, but slung away over your back housed away in it's bag. Walk until you see something that you...
