Thanks all for your very helpful advice :thumbs: Fabulous star effects there BertRoot. Cheers, Misty :)

I am experimenting with night shots but the street lights are "plain" & not "stary" as I have seen in some photos here. What adjustments do I need to do to give lights a star effect. Is it ISO, aperture or shutter speed that gives the effect. Regards, Misty

Thanks all for your very informative replies. I should have posted this pic. with my query as it gives a view of both castles ( the one on the left is a look out tower, really) where there is a similar window (approx 4ft X 2ft) to the one visible at the other side of the tower facing the castle...

I am trying to take a shot of an old castle ruin (in the background) through a window (or better described as an opening with stone surround) of another castle (foreground) The castles are approx 1/4 mile apart. I either get the background castle or the stonework in the window of the foreground...

Thanks all for your replies. I am more informed now & will go for the non DO lens & by doing so I will have a smaller hole in my pocket :lol: Cheers Misty

I recently purchased a Canon 40D Kit & I am considering buying a telephoto lens. On the Camera Price Buster website the price of Canon EF70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM is £338, however the price of Canon EF70-300mm f4.5-5.6 DO IS USM is £755 (over double the price).

You should send a pm to Kerso (a trader on this site) quoting your post on this thread. He should give you a good deal as he has given to me on a Canon EOS 40D (cheaper than anywhere else) which I am expecting in the post shortly. Best of luck & good hunting. Misty

Thanks a lot Cobra :thumbs: Done in a flash :lol::lol:

I have just ordered a new 40D Kit (body + 17-85mm IS USM lens) from Kerso, for a great price. If you dont need the lens Im sure he will give you a competitive price on the body only.

Oops Chappers :bonk: Previewed post instead of submitting reply. Thanks for your advice. Will probably go for the kit as the price of the lens is good with the body & will look at other lenses down the road Regards, Misty :thumbs:

Thanks fletch5. As replied to Chappers the lens is at a good price as part of the kit, will probably go for it & explore other lenses when I get used to the camera. Regards, Misty :thumbs:

Thanks Fitzy. I will have a peep in Amazon. Regards, Misty
