mmm Maybe you're right on this one..!

I drive through lozells every night, my wife works at the healthcare centre there and even she says that walking round she feels safe. I agree every city has a 'shady' side but its all about being sensible. I think you'll find taking night time architecture photos in these type of places...

Raj, wouldn't take the above advise too much to heart...! I have worked in and around B'ham for many years, I would not have any issue with walking round with my camera gear at any time of day or night. If you get stuck and want some company, drop me a PM and we'll sort out a night of touring...

@Drewpyfz6 the images are viewable on the camera but only as thumbnails, when i try to view a single image on the camera it says image not supported. I'm guessing it's the cheap memory card, so have ordered a 16gb Sandisk.

Now i like that idea. There are just so many 'quality' memory suppliers on the web, finding that you might have purchased a fake memory card is just not cricket..!

Thanks for the quick replies gents. I think i really need to drop down to a 16gb class10 branded card as the staple diet for my 550d beast..! But a bit more information..! the cards were delivered today instantly dropped into the 550d and formatted. I also have a G9 which had the same...

Guys, looking for a bit of advice. I'm currently exploring my new toy; Canon 550d, and have purchased a couple of 32gb class10 memory cards from ebay. New, but not a branded make. Took the kit to our local bird sanctuary today and every photo is corrupt. Really disappointed so wondered if...

cheers guys... nice warm welcome. Just need to sort out the uploading process to get my pics up for C&C

Hey everyone, just a quick into. I've always enjoyed taking photo's and after finishing uni i now i have a bit more time to dedicate to getting some good shots and stepping up a gear. Been looking over the forum now for a few months and i have to say there are some awesome shots and...
