    Camera Backpack for Mountain Biking

    I am currently looking for a Camera backpack to take my DSLR on rides that my fiancee and I do. When I say Mountain biking it is more trails around lochs etc but we see so much wildlife/scenery I always wish I had my camera with me. I need something that is water proof and to be able to hold...

    Basic Metering through the Lens

    Cheers guys this was exactly what I needed. I found a tutorial online later on last night which confirms what you have said. In manual I was thinking values would change themselves depending on the light. Now I realise I need to adjust settings till I get the right exposure. All makes sense...

    Basic Metering through the Lens

    Ok but in Manual are the aperture and shutter speed numbers meant to change depending on brightness whilst looking through viewfinder. Only time I can get that to happen is in P mode or 1 or the other to change depending on Aperture/Shutter Priority modes. Sorry if i'm not making sense.

    Basic Metering through the Lens

    First off, sorry for this noob question but I just can't get to grips with this. I have a Canon 650D and just bought some Lee ND Graduated filters. I have been browsing the Lee website and found a guide to using them but i'm stumped from the first 2 points: Now I get what I am trying to...

    Zoom for occasional wildlife & occasional sport

    I have the Sigma 50-500 (bought brand new last weekend) and is very good. Heard good things about the Sigma 150-500 as well. There is one for sale in classifieds just now I think.

    ND Filter Advice

    Thanks guys. Think I may actually go with Lee's. Bit better off than I thought. One thing - where is the best place to buy from? WEX seem to be out of stock of nearly everything and Amazon seem to be all over the place. Ebay have a couple of good deals.

    ND Filter Advice

    I have been looking to invest in some ND filters to use with my Canon 10-22mm wide angle lens and my 18-55mm lens. I was going to go with LEE filters, but adding up the cost I think it may be too much to be spending for a hobbyist like myself. I have started looking at cheaper alternatives...

    Buying some Lenses - 70-300mm and Macro

    I am looking to get a couple of lenses for my Canon 650D. I am after a 70-300 zoom and a Macro. I am looking at getting both from Tamron (70-300 at £300ish and the 90mm Macro) The Macro I'm settled on but wondered is the 70-300 as good as Canon's own or am I better stumping up the extra...

    Bag Recommendations

    I just took delivery of a Canon 650D today. I now wish to get a bag for carrying it around, especially in Septemeber when I go on holiday to Majorca for a week. I plan to eventually get a battery grip for it along with a 70-300mm lens and maybe 1 other lens. I really like the shoulder...

    Canon 550D, 600D or 650D

    Hi there Used to do a lot of photography until about 2 years ago when I lost interest and sold all my gear - Nikon D90, kit lens, and 70-300 lens. However, recently, I have been getting an urge to get back into it again. My workmate has a Canon 550D and he took it into work last week...

    Which Camera?

    What would be the best all round lens to cover model and landscape photography? Say I get the D90 for £600, I would have between £400-£500 to play with

    Which Camera?

    Cheers for replies. Yea I am leaning towards a D90 with either kit lens or going for a new/used body only and then spending a bit more on a good lens to get me started in both model and landscape photography
