Can you not just get the GGS 3 inch screen protector from Amazon? The 7D has a 3 inch screen, doesn't it? I have one of these on my X100. Goes on easily and was fairly easy to remove after I managed to smash it...

Thank you all for the advice and I'll have another crack at it soon :) @Phil V I kind of got the impression from the tutorials I've watched and read that it would be preferable to fire the flash at the end of the exposure. But, I agree, it shouldn't make a difference with a static (well, nearly...

Thank you. This seems to make sense. There is no rear-curtain sync available to me at all, so I'm guessing I'll have to either use a torch to light her at the end or get a flash unit that I can fire manually. @HoppyUK I did fire the flash at the start of the exposure but it really made very...

Please forgive me if this is in the wrong forum... I have been getting started with some light trails (wire wool spinning & light graffiti) and have had some decent results on my X100. However, one of the shots I wanted to do was to start the exposure, use a torch to outline my friends body...

I've found this on the odd occasion, but only when composing. The final image on those occasions turned out perfectly normal.

Which distro are you using?

Brompton Cemetery

Just got an X100, but I really cannot call it a compact compared to the LX5 it's replacing. So, it's not a DSLR nor a CSC and is, to my mind, not a compact. A Midi, perhaps?

Received my X100 yesterday from John Lewis. I've had to dip into the overdraft for it, but I'm a John Lewis partner and had to get in quick before we sold out so I could get my discount on it! Quite a step up from my Lumix LX5 and it's gonna take some time to get used to the ins and outs of it...

Try Leake Street tunnel near Waterloo, a legal graffiti place. Urban and moody. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151058751621580.431189.717356579&type=1&l=5683ff8321

You could try CameraWorld on Wells Street (nearest tube: Oxford Circus). Currently advertising the X10 at £289, but call ahead to make sure it's in stock. If all else fails, there's John Lewis on Oxford Street and all the small electrical retailers on Tottenham Court Road. There are no camera...

Yes, The Golden Gallery. It's closing on the 7th Jan for a few months though!

I'm inclined to agree. In the first picture, the church spire in the foreground to the left is St Mary Le Bow, which is where it would be if you were at St Paul's, facing east.

Picasa for the quick, simple stuff and GIMP for everything else. Both free.

I know this is an old thread, but still.... Just ordered one from Amazon, priced at £28. Had to get a budget tripod as Christmas is rapidly approaching and as the nights draw in, I'm finding myself out and about at night a lot more. Hopefully this will do the trick for those long exposures and...
