Sorted he has decided to hold off on a macro for now and go with a nifty fifty.

Thanks I will have a look into that lens. I did offer him the cash but he did not want to accept cash, which I can understand. I will ask him though if there is a particular one he has been looking at.

Hi, Looking for a bit of advise. I am looking to buy a friend who has helped me out recently a gift of a macro lens (for Canon body) my budget is £150 max. This can be either new or second hand. What would be your recommendations? Many thanks.

Thanks Dave, firstly I will apologise for the photos as I only have my phone camera with me today so the quality isn't great. I tried to get at least one of each different type I could spot. I am thinking of coming to work tomorrow with my proper camera and trying to get some decent shots. If...

Do you know if the webcasts are archived or is it live only? would quite like to see the one mentioned.

Just signed up today and trying to figure it out My Google+

John it looks like you are correct, the live view needs to be set to Silent Shooting Mode for this to work, and it looks like my camera does not have this functionality (a feature of the higher end canons from what I can see). Can anyone confirm whether the 600D has this setting?

Cool thanks From a quick inspection not sure my model enables me to change the settings, all I can see for Live View settings is enable and disable. I will have a read of the manual and see if that sheds any light, although a quick search on the net suggests I am not the only one...

Hi I have purchased a Hahnel combi tf wireless flash trigger, it seems to work pretty well on my camera (canon d600) except that it doesn't seem to work when I switch to liveview mode. Does anyone have any idea why this might be? I can get round it by composing the picture in liveview and then...

Brilliant thanks guys for all the replies. I will have a read through all the suggestions and will probably be come back with more questions! Thanks again

I was thinking the same thing, I am not sure if this is good or bad. I can see advantages for checking settings etc but disadvantages as although this information is embeded in the image anyway it is sometimes nice to have this hidden away in the case of people stealing images as the user of the...
