I do have a flash on its way, 430EX - not sure if I'll be able use inside tho, I think I might be tho - if not, I believe the light in the room is ok, for the pub though, yes it will be a lot darker with no natural light - so a flash will come in good then - I havent used gel's before so will...

cant delete posts :( - see reason for editing above.

I can well imagine threads get a bit unruly and "useless" - I'll try and keep it fun :) - but yeah, your right, I didnt do much searching I must admit :bonk: Yes true, I guess your right about not covering what I already have - daft idea :). I'll have a look at that lens, to be honest I've not...

Thanks for that bit of advice - I would of have never of thought to ask for test shots when buying 2nd hand :)

Hey everyone, I'm after a little help if you'd all be so kind :) I've been taking photos for a year or so, and of course, now a friends getting married he wants me to take a few photos - its only a very small and intimate wedding in a registry office, then down the pub later - so there isn't...

Thanks Dave, I've seen some of yours on my travels in the forum, I like :) I'll look forward to learning from you all.

Hi everyone, figured I should at least introduce myself formally (so to speak). I'm quite new to photography - or at least new to trying to take good photos. Like most people I've prob taken 1000's of photos over the years - but find that only about 10 of these I actually like. I'm quite...

Howdy!

I've got the 1.4, I did think about getting the 1.8 (ive had the 1.4 for over a year), however I had the spare money so opted for the 1.4 as I wanted something that would be good in low lights. I wasnt let down, its been a great lens, hardly off my camera (bearing in mind I've only got two lens...
