    Lighting a car

    Hi guys, I found this location the other day and took this shot: It's very dark and to get the dome exposed properly the car itself is pitch black so we used a torch to light it. I have a 580EX II so can I use a long exposure to capture the dome and then flash the car manually a few...

    Facebook Timeline

    Facebook announced Facebook Timeline at f8 (their development conference) today but it won't be available for a while. If you sign up as a developer and create a new Open Share application you can get it before anyone else. I recorded a little video walking through it here...

    Yeah, can you double-click them and have them open in the usual image viewer too?

    Internal Card Reader

    Just built a new PC so might as well put a card reader in I guess. I'd prefer to just slot CF's into it rather than find a USB lead and fiddle about with the camera... What's the best one to go for? I see cheap £7 jobbies on Play but I dunno much about them. How do you judge their speed and...

    50D RAW Codec for Windows 7 64-bit

    I have been out of the loop for a while now and haven't really used my camera in ages, but I'm now on Windows 7 64-bit and struggling to find the codec required to view RAW images. To be honest, I don't remember how I had it setup on my laptop before but I could view RAW images in Windows as...

    350D/400D or a new Sony?

    Alright, wrong word was used. Want instead of need. Either way, ask anyone into photography what gear they'd like and they'll say Canon or Nikon 99% of the time. I just don't want my mate to buy a Sony and then want a Canon or whatever instead.

    350D/400D or a new Sony?

    So you'd suggest buying a Sony, buying a few lenses and accessories only to realise a few months down the line you need a Canon or Nikon? Why not just start there?

    350D/400D or a new Sony?

    I'm trying to convince my friend who wants a SLR that he should get a Canon, but his argument is that he can get a Sony for £250. He doesn't like the idea of buying second hand stuff, so a second hand 400D puts him off. What would you do? A second hand 350D/400D or a new £250 Sony?
