So here’s week 3 of my Photo52 project. Again, I haven’t had the opportunity to set up something specifically for this theme, but it seemed very much like I was being forced into a particular style this week. High ISO shots like this lend themselves well to B&W conversions. :p Still finding...

Thanks! Yeah, that's quite a good point, I'm a lot more comfortable with the ISO settings after covering the (badly lit) rehearsal so that's definitely something I'll consider in the future. I used a fairly strong vignette in Lightroom, with an adjusted midpoint to help focus in on the two...

Thanks for the compliments guys, I'm sure this is gonna be a fun year. Will have to take a look at all the other 52's now...

Unfortunately, between college, work, and general stuff, I’ve had no time to get something together for the set theme of New this week. However, I’ve been covering our college’s production of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. This was actually my first experience of anything even remotely...

I have no problems in Lightroom working with RAW, admittedly only from my 1000D so not the highest res images in the world. This is on the latest white Macbook, not sure of the spec.

I run Lightroom on a 13" Macbook and the screen size doesn't really bother me, perhaps worth investing in a second monitor if you really want the extra screen space.

Canon's version is a tad more than I'm able to spend on something like that right now, poor student blah blah blah. So, as per the title really, any 3rd party grips you guys could recommend for a 1000D user? :)

I'll put another word in here for the 50mm f/1.8, it's not crazily expensive and is a great introductory lens for those low-light situations and portraiture in general. I will just add however that it is a tad loud in AF mode. :p

Well, here's my entry for week 1. :) Weirdly enough I originally went out to take photos of the house, but that felt really uninspired and far too cliché. I then turned around and saw the chicken pen and something just clicked, the door alone seemed perfect for a more desolate and empty shot...

Been learning photography for about a year now, I suppose I'd better give this a shot. A 365 might be too much for me between college and work but this should be perfect in terms of time. Famous last words? We'll see. Links Week 1 - Accomodation Week 2 - No Theme - Drama Week 3 -...

As per the title really. :p I've been interested in photography since I started my AS course, familiar with both 35mm B&W film and my 1000D. I actually love using film but I don't get the opportunity as much as I'd like, so I have a tendency to process my digital shots in black and white...
