Awesome Alastair, I just can't believe I didnt see your thread my self after all the time I've spent on UR! I think I will concentrate my research on going down the second hand budget macro lens option as I don't want to spend a fortune :-)

Ah-ha awesome info there, will give it a go! :)

Yeh I need a LOT more practice with the settings, at the moment for easiness I just set it to Macro which dosen't seem to allow me to turn off the flash although this may just be user ignorance! So every now & then when I try to take one with not enough light the flash fires off obviously...

Cheers for the replies :-) There is quite a bit of light provided by the 150W cree LED unit I made but I have considered building/getting a little spot light to place directly above whatever I'm photographing. I will also try & have a play with the ISO once I get to grips with it. Nice tank...

Hi this is probably bit of an odd question & I'm a total photography newbie so bare with me! I've been trying to use my partner's Canon 650D which has a Tamron 18-200 AF lens to take photographs of corals that are in a glass tank which is obviously filled with salt water & is only about 12...

Just to be clear I didn't start the post to slate the photos, I just wanted other peoples opinions to see if I was expecting to much for 1.25% of my house sale value? I also wouldnt call the people who took them artists (although nice people), the girl didnt know how to work the camera and the...

Cheers for the useful comments tikkathreebarrel. :) I'm in Durham (DH77PY).

Doh, stop looking!:lol::lol::lol:

Wow, I wasnt expecting this many replies, didnt realise the forum was so busy! To many to reply to all but thanks to everyone who has offered me advice and info, much appreciated! I think all of my questions have been answered. I think I do need better photos to grab peoples attention in...

Cheers tikkathreebarrel, I think you are rite there. I'll have to get on to them again me thinks, they will really be getting sick of me now! I really would have thought estate agents would at least have the rite sort of kit to take decent pics!

Thanks for the input as-i-said. Anyone got anything constructive for me such as what camera/lens etc I'd need to get some decent interior shots? Cheers.

Thanks for all the replies so far! I've been thinking of taking them my self even though I dont see why I should if I'm paying that sort of cash.:shake: Anyway what would I need and how much money would I be looking at? I saw some other estate agents before the one I foolishly signed up with...

Hi everyone, I've recently put my house up for sale and I'm not happy with the pics my estate agent has taken. They sent a girl from the office to take em and when I asked her if the camera had a wide lens she told me she didn’t know and I actually ended up sorting out the memory card on...
