A good one of my Dad as he will NOT let anyone photograph him. Even at my wedding I don't have a decent one despite my photographer trying. Stubborn old sod!!!

The image looks almost ghostly. Really like what you've done there :clap:

2nd that one :) I spend loads of time in there and they have most stuff in stock :thumbs:

I had the Tamron 70-200 f2.8 and although it was a lovely sharp lens on things that were still, it was a bit of a pain with the AF motor which is slow and noisy. Rumour has it that Tamron are upgrading this lens in the near future. If you want a comparable to the Canon Mark 1 IS version, then I...

Thanks for the input, will give it a go and use it as a plant pot if it is no good :)

Doh Ordered i off ebay this morning :( Still it was only £6 so it doesn't matter too much. Thanks for your input :thumbs:

So it would appear to me then that the fake should be OK for what I need. Thanks everyone for your help. :thumbs:

+1 here :) This lens got me my first ever 20/20 in competition, I sold it to upgrade to a 70-200 and the best I have had with that is a 19/20. Maybe I need to buy another..... Seriously though, it is a cracking lens for starting out and if you buy a decent 2nd user, they go on here from £100...

Thanks a lot :). I will do but I am in the process of reading and looking now and will try to recreate at first :)

These three are my first efforts. I will do some reading and practising and hopefully improve :)

Really appreciate all the advice guys :) Was playing yesterday, when I had time. I will put up some images in a minute for C&C.

Cheap Flash Bracket. Is that one of those things that screw into the tripod hole at the base of the camera? If it is, is there another hole where I can put my tripod plate?
