thanks for the advice, ill give natural light a go i think to start with and see how i get on!

just wondering if any one can give me some advice.. sister having baby in 2 days, and wants me to take some new born pics.. i was thinking of using a few soft white fleeces for the background and to place him onto.. just wondered about lighting.. all ive got is a canon 7D 10-22mm and 17-55 Lens...

Hi Guys, just wondering what the main differances are between a Canon 420EX and a Canon 580EX MKII? i have the 420EX at the moment.... i want to do some off camera flash photos, whats the best way of doing it without using wires??

MY FIRST PIC.... SAD ARENT I!?

HI Stuart, im based in Boston, im in Lincoln everyweek end pretty much, as the fiancee parents are there, some tip from you in person would be great!

hi Phil, kits just arrived, cant wait to go play at the weekend! havent got a tripod as of yet, as all my gear only came this morning, it makes me old Olympus E510 look like a baby! this new stuff it soooo much heavier too!

im off out to the woods at the weekend, to try and get my head around using my Canon 7D, im wondering what settings to have the camera on to start with? i assume it will be dull and overcast, or maybe sunny and bright, i want to take some close shots of trees and wide angle shots of the general...

hi tim, that first shot looks spot on! no chance i could get that sort of pic with taking the shot hand-held?

Hi Guys, i wonder what are the best methods and/or products for cleaning my lens and generally keep the 7D Body clean and free from muck around the buttons etc... i have heard of Baader Fluid, has anyone used it?

haha fair enough, ull just mention TP, thanks for your help Dave, how you finding the 1DMark III?

i shall give Stuart a call tmw then and mention your name!

ill get the hoods at some point then, i dont plan on giving up Phil, just getting started up :)

o.k then, ive seen lens pens and allsorts on the net, they a waste of ££ im guessing then?

perfect, that would be a good idea i think, try before i maybe end up buying one in the future, could you suggest any good tools for keeping the lens and camera nice and clean?

didnt even know you could hire lens! thats a great idea! i could even hire it out for the week of the wedding too. would be a cheap way of doing it i guess! have you used that rental company before Dave?
