    Camera Backpack & Cycling

    I use a Lowepro Slingshot 200 and last year I was knocked off, head on with a car cutting across me at 20mph, I was mashed up a bit but my camera was fine. One witness said I flew one and a half car lengths in the air before landing and rolling. Contents at time a Canon 400D with 18-55mm kit...

    Recommend a Canon fit zoom

    .parkcameras.com/c/68/Canon-Fit-SLR-Lenses.html?Page=1 That is Park Cameras Canon fit lenses. I have a 50-200mm Tamron f4.5 that I picked up cheap, for £500 you can afford some much faster glass as every one else has said it all depends on what he wants to do with it and how serious he is.

    HDR Bashing

    Personally I like both extremes of HDR photography, for some images the cartoon effect seems to work, surely like all photos what one person loves another will hate it is all subjective. If people really hate HDR that much why enter a thread that mentions it then go "AAARRRGGHH my eyes" :)...
