ooooooooooooo - snazzy not thought of that!!

Hi folks, So I've been thinking about getting (or *gulp* making) some sort of lightbox/tent thing. I've seen some kits on ebay, and even maplin with the little 'tent' and the backdrops with them. But I'm wondering are they worth it? Or do they look like wrinkled bits of tatt as background when...

Holy Moley! How have I missed this brilliant thread until now?? Fantastic concept and great shots, and well done on keeping it fun and interesting as I imagine it can be difficult to keep coming up with ideas.

LOL @specialman

I'm the same, very self-conscious when it comes to taking pictures of people, friends or strangers, so I rarely take my camera out with me. So you are definitely not the only one to feel that way. However when I go out to new places like London, I take lots of pictures of people. There is...

Wow great shots, especially the ladybug one at the end! Brilliant development of the idea. I saw this thread last year and was desperate to give it a go, but completely forgot all about it. Maybe this week or next I'll get a chance to play around with it :) Were the new set of shots done...

Thanks folks for your replies :) Had to have an emergency dentist appt today, so not up for playing with lens. I will phone jessops though and see what they say. Thanks:D

Hiya boys and girls :) So I'm still hankering over a prime, either 35 or 50mm and so I've been playing with these two lengths on my kit lens to help me make a decision. And then I thought .. would the prime lens give the same images on my cropped sensor (d3000) as they would with the kit...

Hi all, This might sound like a really stupid 'blond' question (because I am blond I can say that ;)) but.. Can you try out lenses in jessops? I'm thinking of getting a 35mm prime for my d3000 but I want to have a look and a play before I buy. If I take my d3000 with me will they let me ...
