Benn using them for ages, only ever had problems that have originated @ O2. If you're on O2 then GG SIM will work in your handset without unlocking, SIM is free you just need to top up £10. So worst case if you hate it is you've lost a tenner and then get a new contract. But you'll love it I'm sure

Hi All, OK I have done some research into lens but now need some advice more than anything. Current Lens I have the Nikon 18-55 kit lens and a Tamron 70-300, which isn't great but does the job at the moment. What I shoot I most shoot either holiday/travel type photography so could be a...

And here is Week Seven - People Went to watch some volleyball of my old team before moving up to Birmingham and took this shot(s). Quite pleased with the way it came out as in a dark, dingey sportshall photo's are never an easy thing to get spot on. Not helped with "clutter" in the...

Finally here we are - after a few manic days/weeks I have finally got back on top of things. Here we have Week Six - Present Busy busy time recently but luckily it was my girlfriend's birthday - hence this present shot. Not exactly imaginative but hey can't be every week..haha Sorry...

Well better late than never - here we go Week Five - SPEEEEEEED Well things have been a little manic recently hence the very late post, it would have been a posted on Tuesday but what looked good on the camera screen wasn't when it was on the laptop so I decided to go and shoot again :D...

Ha you'd be amazed how hard that was, it certainly didn't stay there for long as the knife handle as we all know is a lot heavier than the blade. But lucky it stayed there long enough for some shots - have got some also where it moved during the shot...lol I think one of the biggest lesson's...

Week Four - Street Slightly off the wall this week, what street influnced your childhood?? Sesame Street of course - hence the macro photo of some Sesame seeds!! Everything else I thought of/tried this week simply didn't work. So it was time to play with the Macro setting, tripod and...

Thanks for the comments everyone. I will experiment a bit with a different crop, to remove the lower reflection and/or cropping closer to the granite edge and see how it comes out! C

Glad you liked week one and two! Yeah, if I get chance I think I am going to get another onion tomorrow and try and give it another go, kinda busy at the weekend and then it will be week four. Never thought week's were so short...! C

CHOPPED!! Take two!! After being disappointed with the first attempt due to lack of focus, so here is take two. This has been my first attempt at playing with lighting and be it a crude LED torch in this instance it can really change the mood and feeling in a shot. I did experiment a...

Use the "women shoes or handbags technique", it's not to do with how much it COSTS but how much you SAVED!!! :lol: C

Ahhhh took me a while to figure out what it was and that was only after reading your 2nd post!! Great effort and idea with the lighting but I agree I think it could do with being slightly sharper and more in focus to add to the effect.

Love the shot, works really well for me. I would have probably cropped the image slightly differently to put even more emphasis on the flower bud and also have cropped out the black bit in the top left. C

Well it's time for week two and I'll let the picture and poem do the talking to begin with... Frozen Moment by Dean Thorpe Frozen moment, captured in time A silly face, and too much wine A little cat, sat in the sun A playful child, having some fun The rise of sun, the morning glow...
