Good points well made. And I suppose the whole point of my post, just a little inspiration required.

Whoops, missed off some key info. The photos will be transport themed, and to be taken in the city centre. May struggle with deer, fires and a manger :)

There's a competition going at work, where we've got two weeks to put in a couple of photographs for a Christmas card. The question is, and the inspiration I'm seeking, is how do I take photographs without snow and decorations in November, and still give the Christmas vibe? Any ideas...

Good advice, thanks. I actually remembered about turning of VR, so 120, 121 and 122 were taken with it turned off, and they do look a lot smoother. Any chance you can explain the ISO reasoning please, as I don't really understand the situations where you would use a high or a low ISO, in...

Thanks everyone :) Your input is much appreciated! Shows what a newb to this I am, as I usually leave the filters on, solely for the purpose of protecting the lens... I used a wireless remote for the shutter (bestofferbuy.com cheap and cheerful). Will have a look through Matts tutorial as...

Only a UV filter. My thinking is that maybe the camera wasn't fastened tight enough to the tripod. Or the tripod was vibrating on the bridge. Was just hoping that someone on here could help out.

Hiya, I've just had a quick go at some long exposure shots, and they haven't come out as expected, so I'm looking for some advice please. I know that I started off by taking the picture too quickly, but then the rest are just a mess, and have some strange lights on them - Any advice...

Cheers :) I had a play with this last night, and wouldn't have known what it was till you replied. Very useful though.

Dave, what's "bulb mode"?

Great shout, and pretty shocking in the difference which is noticeable.

I'll tag onto your thread, as I wanted to ask a similar question. I'm off to the lakes in a couple of weeks, and the place where I'm staying has no light pollution, or extreme minimal. And it's like looking at a scene from Star Wars when you look up to the skies, proper amazing scenery...

Anyone?

Hiya, I've got a Kodak M1033 which is broken. Used to use it when taking photos on site, but somehow managed to drop it, and the lens won't retract :( Pictures of the lens barrel to show you what's happened: Can anyone advise of somewhere where I'd be able to get it fixed, that's...

So much to learn! Looks like this will be a long road :) Thanks though for the info.

Ah, I see. Thanks a lot! so with a 70-300mm lens, I could effectively get up to 600mm?
