Some really interesting shots in there that really showcase the beauty of 5x4, cheers for sharing the linky. :)

I'm happy that you got published and not meaning to put down your pics but how do you know someone actually 'rated' it and didn't just decide to use it because it was free and the ones he actually rated were from people who wouldn't give them for free?

As Ken said, important bit is keeping the camera face down, you are going to get wee bits of stuff flying about almost everywhere but keeping the open area facing the ground will minimise the chance of getting any kack inside.

Hi Andy , you can create that effect in camera by zooming in or out while taking the shot but in this particular shot you have posted I think it will have been most likely done using editing software as it's a very difficult technique to use to good effect on a moving subject. For me to get...

Heya folks, my Flickr link is in my forum sig. Feel free to have a wee browse and add me if ye want. :thumbs:

Some great piccies in the thread :thumbs: Most popular on my photostream atm is this one.

Glad I could help. :thumbs: I'm not sure what you mean about stacking them sorry :thinking: You mean take a seperate shot each of the moon and Jupiter and then combine them to get both in same shot? if so, aye that would work. I've heard some of the astro guys also talk about stacking shots...

Hi Mike, I'd say buy the 55-250mm I don't have one myself but have read a lot of good things about it. With the 100 quid you have left you could pick yourself up a Canon 18-55mm kit lens for about 35quid secondhand and have enough left to buy a flashgun or tripod to add to your kit, if you...

Hi Ben, I took a look at your full size shot on your Flickr and it looks like you have got some motion blur in the shot. I thought it was camera shake initially but your Exif data shows an exposure time of 2.5secs so I assume you have tripod mounted your camera and the motion blur is coming from...

500mm lenses are not the ideal kit for him to use or lug around for a wedding. ;) I'd look at getting a 70-200mm f/2.8 , Nikon or Sigma along with a shorter fast zoom something along the range of 18-55mm f/2.8 for use at the weddings and then use the money earned to look at getting some longer...

Welcome to the forum and looking forward to seeing some of your shots. :thumbs:

I was luckily enough to get an SLR as a young lad, a shiny new Zenith EM around 1981 I reckon. I was about 11, my mum and da got me it after seeing how interested I was in taking pics with thier old camera they used for holidays and it kickstarted a love with photography that is still going...

Never used the Sigma 150-500 but regularly use my Sigma 50-500mm for bird pics if you want another to consider and have no complaints about it at all. Consistently produces nice sharp images and focuses extremely fast and quietly. I know it's never going to be as good as the big Canon primes...
