I was approached by a security guy who said that I need a permit to use Media City as a background for photos! Ah well, managed to get one or two shots.

Evening all, just wondering if anyone can advise me on this place. I'm planning on doing a little video shoot of my car for a Uni project, and I want to use the fancy buildings in Media City that look pretty after dark. I just want to get a few cliche shots of slow-moving 'city feel' stuff, if...

Well, it got through with no questions asked at either ends! :)

Yeah, that's my logic too. It'd just be a shame to do the trip with no tripod, I might have to find random objects to rest my camera on haha.

I'm flying out to Nice with EasyJet next weekend, and only taking hand luggage as I'm only there for three days. My tripod only cost me a tenner, but I pretty much need it for the trip. I tweeted EasyJet earlier and they said "Tripods are not namely prohibited in the hand luggage. Final...

It seems a bit too big and bulky for my teeny D40, and I don't have any 77mm filters, which aren't cheap!

I've just spent a week with the 1.4G, absolutely loved it. I only used it at f1.4 a few times, but when I did it was great. I mainly used it at f2.5 give or take a stop or two, as it was razor sharp and had nice background blur. Obviously now, I want one! However, it's nearly double the price...

I always shoot in raw, and do most editing/adjustments in raw, but there are some things (which I can't do in raw) that I need do do in Photoshop itself. These things change the white balance slightly which is quite annoying. Not major, but not as perfect as I had it before. The only thing I...

It really depends on what I'm shooting. if I'm shooting something specific, I'll choose the appropriate mode, but for general snaps I'll leave it in Auto.

I'm 18. Bought a D40 in September (off a TP member) because I saw what was achievable with even the most basic DSLR. Definitely glad I bought it, I've surprised myself with some of the shots I've taken. I mainly shoot in Auto unless I'm doing anything specific, like Motorsport or night shots...

This. ^ I have this one - http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=105985&r=GOOG Cost me £9. It does the job, but it's not great with my zoom lens on it, although it depends what camera and lens you have.

Thanks for the replies. I've never done it before so I'm pretty clueless!
