Thank you for taking the time to write this. It was a good read.

I may have to start putting on my lens hood when out of the bag from now on then or you lot will crucify me if you see me :D. I only ever used it when the sun / flare was in the frame. as I am not a fan of having to faff about with it when zoomed as it sometimes creates issues when fully zoomed...

I have a Caden backpack like the one in the link below. I went for it as the zip is against my back so it harder to nick all my gear. I got it sub £30 and although its cheap its very well padded on th shoulder...

If you have a tripod, you can use that to mount your flash to assuming it has the screw hole on the bottom. I am waiting for my flash stand to arrive and have been using that to have a play around with. Perhaps something to try out before you decide you need both a tripod and a flash stand...

Bit the bullet and gone for the 622's. Added to my wishlist to purchase at a later date. Cheer guys

Speedy :D Thanks. I will have a look later on tonight when I get home and maybe put them on my wish list until I have enough to make use of my Amazon prime free 30 day trial (unless they are cheaper elsewhere of course - im thinking eBay)

Hi guys I have had a read of the strobist 101 blog and have put into my wish list an umbrella and a stand with flash head. The bit I'm confused about is how to make the flash fire when off camera. There is talk about cables and transmitters and sync cords and whilst I understand the theory, I...

Picked one up from work a couple of weeks ago brand new with the 24-105 for £1200 as it was purchased by our purchasing team for literally two shots. It came with PS elements and LR5 (I already have LR5) and I have only taken a few photos with it but I must say the silent shutter is amazing and...

18-55 EF-S and 55-250mm EF-S that came with the 600D. Shame they aren't compatible with my new camera but as I will be using both cameras until I am in the swing of things, it wont be too much of a loss at the moment with the variance of lenses. I just need to start building up my EF lens...

Purchased and had a quick play this morning. Its a lovely camera. Cant wait to get home now and have a proper play. :ty:

I knew this was going to be the responses to twist my already wavering arm. I will have to sleep on it but I will shout over to him now and say put it to one side overnight but I think I will be the daddy of a 5D mk 3 tomorrow. I guess I will just have to get better at photography and use it...

Hi guys Bit of a pointless question as I already know what the answer is. I have been given the opportunity to obtain the above (brand new bar 2 shots that were taken here) from work for £1200. Its only a few months old too. I have been into photography for little over a year and have a 600D...

Didn't think of that at all. Thats why I love this website. I will have a play and see if I can get a suitable shot in colour. Cheers

Hi all Just come back from a nice family holiday and I am looking at the photos and am wondering how i can try and rescue most of them. I took my SLR with me so I could take some nice scenery shots etc, but there was no way I was having it anywhere near the pool or the beach so along came the...
