    My first commercial commission - for 02

    The S7 actually has a lower MP than its predecessors. Samsung appear to have stopped pixel chasing (for now anyway) with the larger sesnsor. Its nice to see 'real life' examples rather than some perfect blue skies beach scene they always drag out.

    Mini studio?

    I've just invested in a site light @ 500w, only £30 so its an affordable option to get some even light. The draw back is that its hard work to get consistent results as apposed to 'proper' studio lights, you have to work harder to control the light. They get warm too. Have a look at...

    Need help with a decision. SB-600 or Lens? nifty fifty?

    Would you get much from a 50mm? Its really about 75mm with the crop sensor, which you have with the Tamron, but not at 1.8 obviously. A SB-600 will give you off camera flash (through D90's commander flash mode) so that can open up a wealth of photo opportunities. Once you start with off...

    Gypsy Princess's

    I was impressed with the bare knuckle fighting. It looked brutal. At least they had a 'ref' of sorts. Go into any city/town centre at the weekend, near the taxis or kebab shops and watch non travellers bare knuckle fight. ;)

    How do you prove ownership?

    ....I would assume it's for the physical PC, that would get flogged, and any data formated as it would be incriminating to have pictures of someones wife, kids and dog on show. :thinking:
