Just wanted to thank you Duncan for taking so much time to put these posts together. I'm quite new to photography, have loads to learn and tips like these only make the learning process quicker and more enjoyable. You have some wonderful shots on your website, I really enjoyed looking through...

I've used Jack Wolfskin and a brand called Grisport for the last few years. Jack Wolfskin are good and comfortable. Of the 2 I'd say the Grisport is the more durable; I've got a pair of leather walking shoes which get used in all weathers almost all year around. I'd say they're worn 300 out...

Thanks so much for that everyone. Sure enough it is sky or white walls which are affected. It didn't even occur to me that it might be this (hides head in shame!!) thanks :)

I don't quite know how to describe this problem but hopefully I can make sense out of what I'm seeing, so here goes. When I shoot in raw, the image on Live View flickers all over the place so that you really cannot view the image properly. The highlights are worst affected; they're what...

I'm sorry if this has been asked and answered before, but I've searched the forum and found nothing, so I have to ask; how do I upload photos to include them in a post? Thanks EDIT: Sorry for the post; I just found the answer I needed.

Great, thank you Dean :)

I on the other hand have just picked up a Fastpack 100. If it were an estate agent listing they would probably describe it as "cosy" :D. Its quite compact but that's why I chose it, yet it fits a heck of a lot of stuff. I'm a bit small and vertically challenged and I didn't want something...

Can I ask what is probably a very obvious question about this calculation? I'm using a 28-80mm lens. Am I correct in thinking that I would vary the shutter speed according to where I am on the lens, so when I'm at 28mm my shutter speed would be 1/28sec x 1.6x crop factor? And if I'm at...

Nah, my phone is ancient lol. However I could probably download it to my iPod; that'd work. Good idea - thanks!

Thanks Chris :)

Hi all Is there anywhere I can get hold of a hard-copy instruction manual for an EOS 50d? I know its available online as a PDF but I don't want to have to carry around 230 pages of A4. The original booklet is the perfect size and thats what I'm after. There are none available on ebay...

Its an old thread but so useful to me as a newbie that I thought I'd resurrect it. My first DSLR, a 50d arrived today. I had an old SLR which I admit I didn't use to its full potential and as a result, upgrading to the 50d feels like I've walked onto the deck of the Starship Enterprise... its...

Don't mean to crash your thread but I just wanted to say that I love this photo.

Great, thanks! I've just ordered one of the GGS protectors.

Hi all I'm new here although have been reading up on all the great advice to be found on TP for the last couple of weeks. Today I took the plunge and ordered my first DSLR. It was always going to be a Canon as we have 2 lenses from our old EOS SLR. It was a toss-up between the 550d and 50d...
