We have an Epson Stylus SX115 and I've just replaced the black ink tank with a brand new Epson Cheetah cartridge which is supposed to be bigger. Upon installing it I checked the nozzles and a few of the lines were missing so cleaned the nozzles, which didn't work and cleaned the nozzles 4 more...

;) That looks fabulous mate!! Would I be able to do that with Lightroom?? The original has a resolution of 3888x2592. Would that be okay for printing a canvas of maybe 50.8cmx40.6cm?

:( I've switched from Flickr to Picasa Web Albums, still no joy.

We spent a few days down Lincolnshire last week, and whilst there we visited the BBMF at Coningsby (well worth a visit BTW). Anyway, just down the road sits the end of the runway so we thought we'd take a look down there as the son is an air cadet who is planning on joining the RAF. I managed...

Yeah the rocket blower got rid of the particles on the focus screen. As for the aperture, I was experimenting. :shrug: I'm a novice to dslr's so don't really fully understand what I was doing. Will you forgive me?? :lol: What I was trying to do at that point was see if the setting sun behind...

Took the 400D out the other day, and whilst changing lenses in the breezy conditions I noticed a fibre of sorts on the focus screen. When I got home, in somewhat of a panic, and having no cleaning equipment being a novice I tried blowing the fibre out with my breath to no avail. I then...

When I worked for BAe Systems at their submarine facility in Barrow there were signs all the way around the perimeter warning that photography was prohibited under the Official Secrets Act. The same goes for their Royal Ordnance factory in Gateshead. I know he wasn't photographing the building...

Went out earlier with and noticed after changing lenses that there's a piece if lint or something next to one if the AF points. When I got home I took the lens off and had a look up inside the camera and could see a small fibre next to where the AF points appear to be etched into the viewfinder...

Ahhh, I'd not thought of that! :thumbs: Just ordered a Redsnapper tripod, the RS284 though.

Cheers mate!! :thumbs: All I have just yet is the 18-55 kit lens. Looking to buy a 55-250 Canon lens soon though, but I suspect this doesn't come under the "big/heavy lens" bracket though, does it? Do the wireless remotes such as the Canon RC6 require some sort of receiver attachment on...

I'm looking for a reasonably cheap tripod to get me started with some attempted macro and light trail photography, and came across this Camlink tripod for £30. http://www.camerabox.co.uk/productDA.asp?ProductName=Camlink-TP-PRE-27-Tripod-%28Clearance%29&ProductID=17202 Does anyone have any...

When they talk about the magnification of macro lenses I often see 1:1 or 1:2 mentioned. Which is better for macro photography? Also, I've been looking at the remote shutter releases too. Saw some for around £20. Are they all you need? And are they worth it? With regards to light trails, is...

I'm liking them Sarah!! :thumbs: I thought the 400D with kit lens wasn't going to be able to get anywhere near our CyberShot P&S camera for macro, guess it's the moron behind the camera who's not up to it! :shake: This is about as good as we got with the P&S though, not very creative at all...

Is it preferable to have IS on a zoom lens? Especially for a beginner? One other thing, the settings for the picture quality show sort of a step like logo and what looks like a quadrant logo. What's the difference between the two? I have it on L with the quadrant shape next to it :-S Should I...

I see. I take it I'd need a better lens than the kit lens I currently have for using the raynox with? I think the more I look into it the more and more macro photography is something I really want to get into. Something else that's always appealed to me, though always been impossible with my...
