Hi there, I have posted before about buying a new camera (First professional Camera) and was fairly sure I would buy a Canon range (Due to pervious experience with them) and I was set on the Canon 40/50D. Now after saving up I'm fairly sure I can invest a little more to fit suit. After doing...

Thanks for the heads up, but I was more-so talking about the business side of it than anything :thumbs: I'm well aware I need to get 'good' before starting that :) Thanks again all!

Awesome man! Thanks for the heads up, it's definatly going to be a 40/50D I'm buying it shortly after my holiday in which I go in september :cool:. Got any advise for someone looking to start working? i.e find another photographer and shadow him? or just jump in the deep end and offer your...

*Edit* Ensure you know how to grip a stick correctly, only hold the stick with your thumb and your index finger (side of finger) too allow the stick too bounce freely, otherwise it will just sound like your trying to kill the drum skin :naughty: and learn slowly, as you would with any...

Defiantly put a big pillow in the base drum, I've been playing for around 8 years (stopped now due to noise complains and general issues it causes) Get silencing pads, they are a must. Drums are fairly easy to learn, you just need to either 1) Learn how to read music or 2) Learn from...

Thanks for linking me this! It's very very helpful! I'd best get practicing! :D Now to find some someone I can follow and work in some clubs for a free to get some hands on experience..

I might just being very silly, but surely they're two different versions mac/pc? I can honestly only say try updating drivers and maybe try re-instal? Edit* I'm fairly sure without Open GL activated you won't have access too animations tools, rotate ect. But I can't see that having any harm...

Yeah after researching I'm defiantly going to go for the stigma :) It's got pretty good reviews on it as well as it's stability ! Thanks Again Phil, You're awesome :D Finally, going to buying either a 50d / 40d with a stigma and an additional 50mm for now, and eventually a flashgun! :) Thanks...

Okay awesome, So you think that a standard lens (Kit lens) will do the trick? Until it pays it self off and I've made enough to upgrade it? Also, Will I need a decent 'flash diffuser' ( I think they're called ) Any recommendations? I heard they make life much easier to capture ambient light...

Haha awesome. However silly I might be being? That last sentence confused me?

Thank-you very much for your help! I'm definitely going too purchase these as my starting kit, look forward to taking some more pictures soon! :D

Okay awesome, I think my minds pretty set on the 40D. I'm probably going to aim for a lens set s/h for example; http://www.amazon.co.uk/Canon-Digital-Camera-incl-17-85mm/dp/B000V9H5J4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1374163410&sr=8-3&keywords=canon+40d Then buy a 50mm for the time being? then...

I think after looking into the 40d more, I'm probably going too go for that. Would It be a good idea to get both tamron 2.8 17-50 and a 50mm? Or would the tamron 2.8 be a good all rounder for lowlight / everyday shooting? Assuming that it's also a pretty wide lens, making it easier for indoor...

I pretty sure 9/10 It was a Canon EOS 450D, Thanks for the fast response :) Having a look at the 40d S/H the canon fitted ones seem to be more expensive, and will most lens covers fit this? One thing I missed out, any clues and a good flash gun ?

Howdy all, Currently I'm a design student (Graphics) in which also have done Photography in-between lectures and have pretty much self-taught. (If that's even possible :bang:). The issue is I have never actually brought my own DSLR, with the ability to borrow any lens / body at my...
