Hello all. Over a year ago, I bought a secondhand 430ex from ebay. It fired perfectly for a week, and then the damn flash bulb blew. I obviously couldn't ask for my money back, and instead had to grit my teeth. I enquired to a few places about a repair, and they quoted me £80 (not technical...

I'm discussing the effect the digital revolution has had on image manipulation, with image manipulation now undoubtedly easier than it ever was on film. Older examples are good too, as it shows the history - it seems that image manipulation isn't a new thing, so what I'm looking to find out if...

No, it's actually for my dissertation haha. I've only got 2 assignments this semester. 1. Fiction Production - 2 min film, 8 min film, working portfolio 2. Final Major Project - 3500 word planning project and a creative piece Safe to say uni isn't for the elite, this is less work than I had in...

No one else got anything to say on the matter?

Examples and everything! You're a star. I've found various examples of image manipulation. The best, most recent one is the image of 'dead Osama' - it turned out to be a composite of 2 images. 1. a John Doe, 2. Alive Osama

Hello guys I'm doing a dissertation on Photojournalism (it's actually titled 'Has the digital revolution affected truthfulness in Journalism, specifically Photojournalism?') and I'd like your views. I've posted a survey on Facebook and Twitter, but that's mostly 20 somethings who don't give a...

I've got a photoshoot on Wednesday for an indie 'Vintage Fashion' company (I know, how hip). I know the girl quite well, and I know she's going to definitely want the kind of look that looks as if it's been shot on some kind of Fuji slide film/digital SLR hybrid, but the thing is I'm not so...

Damn. I've just emailed the pre-school asking them if they'd be happy with just a Facebook and Twitter widget at the side of the page. I'm hoping their answer is yes.

I've finished the website, apart from this news page. I was hoping I could implement something like the twitter and facebook widgets into the page, and have the news hosted on a separate website, such as blogspot. I.e. you make the news update on blogspot, and the website automatically updates...

Already have a Twitter AND a Facebook widget in a sidebar on every single page :p Nah, they want to be able to post Facebook and Twitter updates, as well as other news updates at the same time.

Hey all I'm making a website, free of charge, for a local Pre-School and they want to be able to post news updates on one particular page, i.e. information about closures, newsletters, events information etc. However, the person who will be updating the website with news is pretty...

Just a quote from Ken Rockwell's website: According to Ken Rockwell, the only bad thing about the lens is build quality, which is to be expected from a lot of non-L lenses. Apart from that, most of it is on par with the 70-200 lenses. In the 'lab' (i.e. doing proper tests on grids to...

I went to Florida in October a few years back (quite a few :p) and it was sunny every day, apart from the few days that a hurricane passed by. That was crazy. ISO800 will be fine, but it depends on what focal length you're shooting. 1/180 of a second is unnecessary really unless you're shooting...

That's what I was thinking, as 95% of the photos I take will be outdoors in the baking American West Coast, and I don't anticipate much rain haha. Maybe the odd summer storm. Getting the 70-300 and moving it on if I don't like it is a fantastic idea. I'll try and see if I can get it as a...
