Anyone seen this site? http://dearphotograph.com/ Go and look now. I'll wait................................................................... seen it? Good. What did you think? Not your typical photograph site, definately not one for the purists but it's a great idea.

Not a problem. Anything that helps us beginners out is welcome by me!

Had a bit of a dig around Flickr and found the following... Might help others out too: Shutter Speed (Slow) http://www.flickr.com/groups/longexposures/ Shutter Speed (Fast) http://www.flickr.com/groups/sportsphotographers/ Depth of Field (Small & Large) http://www.flickr.com/groups/dof/

Exactly like that! That's a great help. The reason I ask is because when I'm in a certain scenario it's good to know what settings give what effects - at the minute I'm nowhere near that standard. Are there groups on flickr where people post pictures which just have 'high' shutter speeds, or...

Hi all, As some of you might have previously read - I've just recently plunged into Photography by purchasing a new Canon 550D (with 18 - 55mm Kit Lens) and even with my limited knowledge I've come to the conclusion that taking good pictures depends on 3 key factors: 1. Aperture 2...

Bit of an update for you... I received a full refund from the eBayer last night no questions asked (even including delivery). Just waiting for it to clear in Paypal before I can withdraw it.

Thank you! :)

Incorrect. If I realised I could have got it cheaper elsewhere before he posted it out, I would have certainly have cancelled the order. After all, why would I cause myself more hassle of refusing the order and having to wait a week or so for possible reimbursement....it doesn't make sense...

Sorry....for the last time I haven't took advantage of anyone. Please see my latest post.

Ok, ok, ok... Let's nip this in the bud before it goes any further than petty put downs from various posters. I have received the camera this morning and I DIDN'T refuse delivery. If I had, I would have been well within my rights of doing so, although I agree morally it wouldn't have been the...

You might want to look at who posted that.

Firstly, it wasn't a case of I couldn't be arsed to research it properly. On the contary, I've been researching purchasing a 550D for about a month (maybe longer) now, I merely forgot about the £30 Cashback that Canon were offering (I thought it was initially up until the end of May). Poor...

Sorry to sound harsh, but that's life. I'm not doing anything wrong by doing so. I could do exactly the same whether it was from Adidas or from Joe Bloggs down the street. The DSR's are there for a reason - whether I made a poorly researched decision or not.

Typical - just after I ordered it! I'm coming up with a plan. I'm going to refuse delivery from the courier so that it get's sent back to the eBayer and then get my money back through eBay through the Distance Selling Regulations. Completely forgot about the £30 cashback. Bit more hassle...

Yeah I noticed that - I actually looked at buying it over on digitalrev.com, but after the import tax etc... I thought otherwise. I've since bought it via eBay for £549.99 (the earlier eBay link seems to have dissapeared - probably a mistake by the vendor). I've bought it knowing the...
