Steve - If you're still having issues with this, give me a poke. I'm finally getting a little bit of free time,a and will have a look if you'd like? Cheers, Rob

I should definitely have something for this one, I just need to post-process my holiday shots :-D Rob

Hi, I'm pretty keen on macro photography (quite a few of the images in my current showcase are macros - http://www.rshk.co.uk/index.php?p=photo&a=showcase). Shooting with my Sony F717 taking macro shots was easy, there was little to no extra effort required! However, I've recently got the...

Good work on getting the data back. Really, you didn't get charged /that/ much for the data recovery (relatively speaking), a client of mine managed to never backup their business transactions (before they became a client of mine, I might add!) and ended up paying somewhere around £80/GB for...

Excellent, thanks Steve. Looks like I need to start thinking :-) Rob

Jessops in Halifax is better than both the Jessops in Huddersfield. There aren't too many great places around here for camera equipment. Manchester's Jessops is a little better I find, but the Jessops in Halifax is where I get most of my kit from! They know my Dad and I by name now, and are...

Hmm, interesting Steve. I love macro photography, but since moving to the 350D, I've been pushed a little away, as none of my lenses have a short enough minimum focal distance. I'm looking for something that I can shoot flora, macro still life, and insects/other living stuff, general...

From what I've seen the 18-55 isn't that bad! I got the 18-55 and 55-200 USM lens (seems Jessops Hudds had been telling me some porkies), the battery grip, and camera body for £950 including the accidental damage cover. Two weeks until I get it :-) Rob

First off, thanks for the replies :-) The 350D feels nicer to me than the 20D for some reason, the size is more "snug". A horses for courses issue I feel. The 55-200 USM lens is the one that's included apparently. I have a 18-55 + 350D reserved at Jessops. The 55-200 will take a couple of...

Hi, I'm looking to get a Canon 350D :-). I've decided that I'd definitely like the 18-55 kit lens. I'm a newbie to SLRs, but have been into photography (when time permits!) for around 2years. I've noticed that there's a bundle of a Canon 350D, 18-55, Battery Grip, and 55-200mm telephoto -...

I find that external Firewire, or USB{1,2} disks are the best way to backup, not only can you automate the backups (if you so desire), but they also hold enough data to make them useful for storing most of your images, software, and operating system if you want! Also, you can search for images...

Hmm, I wonder when this will surface and be available in the shops. I was looking at the *ist DS, which I really like the look of, especially the size and the fact that it can take AAs (also an advantage is that my Dad has Pentax glass, and I may be able to steal/borrow some of that)...

To be honest, Canary Wharf is a location that terrorists might think about hitting. However, I'd say that this isn't a reason for a guard to be stupid over someone who's clearly not doing any harm. Photographs of Canary Wharf, and Canada Square and the surrounding area are easily enough found...

Well, seems as no-one commented we must have done a good job ;) We were down for about 3 or so hours while everything was moved around. We shouldn't be seeing that again though. Rob
