Also, does anyone know which light (s) i should use, and where I can cheaply buy them? I have plenty of areas I can use in the liverpool area to good effect, but as a complete novice to this, I thought i best ask before trying it over the next few days!

Sounds a silly question.. but with the torch, do you literally walk around the car, highlighting areas you wish to show? With such long exposure times, how do you keep some darkness in the shot?

Not alot of activity in here, is that a good thing as no one has problems or bad as not many use them? Just bought my self a 7D upgrading from a 500D, first outing is tomorrow :)

Many thanks for the replies, I'm leaving the button config standard till i've had a proper look through it. I've upped the sharpness slighty, and funnily enough was thinking about the contract also! I've mainly shot in JPG, however looking to make the move to RAW soon.

Thank you! i've been looking for this :D

I've recently purchased a 7D, upgrading from my 500D and looking to see if any settings should be altered 'from the box'? With my 500D I upped the sharpness and colour as standard as it needed it. My first outing is on sunday at a MINI meet, and have very little time before hand to play with...

Erm, why would you want to?

Whats your most ideal place to buy equipment new? From another thread, i've been looking to buy some new equipment, a lens, and i've been on the lookout for a new body. The nearest places near me to purchase camera equipment from are Jacobs, Jessops, Best Buy, PC world/currys and Comet...

Thing is the money isn't really an issue, I just think its a shame the 70-200 isn't being used, in fact since I bought it it's hardly been on my camera! I've not been in a situation where I need it, especially for the near 1k price tag. I'm contemplating selling it, getting a wide angle, and a...

Thank you for the critique, I've recently moved over to a mac and trying to get the brightness at the correct level, my pictures sometimes look fine here, but look at a friends machine and the are slightly different :|

18mm is restrictive yeah, I find I use the 18-55 alot to get the wider angle on the shots. What price range should I be looking at for a Canon 10-22mm?

Problem is i never use the 70-200mm, i've probably put only a few hundred clicks through it, and seems impossible to incorporate to what I shoot. However advice on a way to use it would be good. I've considered a wide angle lens many a times, but never known which one to go for, any shops...

I'm currently looking for some new equipment, but thought i'd post to see if I actually need anything, or for advice on what would be more beneficial for what I shoot. Currently my kit consists of: Canon 500D 1.8 50mm 18-55 IS 70-200mm IS f4 L series I photograph for a MINI club, which...

Looking to see what you all do when the weather is not so ideal, or rather what you capture. Seems lately in the daytime the sky has been blown out, vast miles of whitness with no interest. Or raining with no hope of it stopping yet I itch to get out and use my new lens. Do you look for...

Advice taken thanks all!been out today and no pixels have appeared, suppose that was the only benefit from today as the weather has been so dull all my images were for the bin!
