I'll help.. I'll help.. It WASN'T me dressed up like a lady, or my misses. So count us OUT! Good luck, you're gonna need it! :help:

A truly great start there Chris, well done - love the composition on that second picture! :thumbs: You need a tripod for sure. People may recommend you get an expensive one straight away, which would be fine. Personally I would suggest that in your position, get yourself a fairly cheap one so...

Not something I had ever heard of - thank you!

400d - a great bit of kit. Welcome to the forums... :thumbs: Gary

Thanks for the heads up guys.

Great tutorial Hacker, thank you.

I happen to know a number of police officers very well (one of which who is a very keen photographer) and I have discussed this issue with them. The answers are; Act like a grown up. Do not make cynical remarks and express the negativity towards the officer that has been displayed in this...

I have Jessops extension tubes, and the difference between those and the Canon ones is miniscule - apart from the price! All extension tubes will increase the distance between lens and sensor, thus allowing you to get closer to the image, which obviously makes it look bigger in the frame. It...

Hey Webby welcome to the forums. You don't say what your DSLR is, but if you don't have the confidence to use full manual, have a go in shutter priority mode (Tv). I would suggest a slightly faster shutter speed than you used above, I would have thought around 400 would freeze this action...

Petemc, I don't think anybody is saying that you can't learn it in your own time - and as you have shown with your quality of work a course is not neccessary for everybody. "In creative industries if you can demonstrate you can do the job it outweighs a scrap of paper" is a reasonable...

Hello all... I have a Dell desktop PC which I have owned for a couple of years - and is still great, and runs photoshop etc no problem. Unfortunately I only got a standard 15 inch flat screen monitor with it. Now that I have converted to digital I am finding it not at all helpful when...

Hey Tobes... My signature says it all my friend - I don't have a lot of posh gear but the most useful thing in my kit bag is my photography 'A' level, which I got an A in. When I did the course, the content was mainly based around the study of other photographers and artists works, and...
