@ 10mm

Thanks Everyone - more replies than i was expecting! :thumbs: Thanks for that - really useful info re: useage. I think that this is what i'll do - after 16 replies I'll wait and see :lol: Seriously though, I think I'll see how Orange get on with it before I commit - 18 months is a long...

Hi Everyone, My current contract on 3 is up for renewal and (surprise surprise) I want an iphone :p I don't know if anyone has seen, but they have released the tarriff details, and they are essentially no different to O2. Each have their own benefits - priority tickets on O2, Orange...

It should be page 80 in your manual, called Auto Exposure Bracketing. Press Menu, then select the 2nd tab from the left, highlight AEB and press the 'set' button so that the other options below dissapear. Then press the > button 3 times (if you work in increments of 1/3's) and then press...

The 1000D is my first DSLR and I am throughly pleased with it :) From what I have read on here, a lot of people seem to feel that lens quality is more important than an all singing-all dancing body..... HTH Tom

I can't get it to work on Firefox at all, but I purchased some on Wednesday and had trouble paying, didn't receive a confirmation email but they arrived on Friday morning ;)

Thanks all! I think I saw the 'S' and got excited..... Seems like the Canon 10-22 is the winner - as coldpenguin mentioned with the 17-40 covering a range that I already have, the 10-22 will probably be the best bet. A tripod is definately on my shopping list, although I'm not sure I...

Hi All, I have a week off work coming up and I have a long list of locations on my wish list which I'm hoping to get through! Amongst this list is the Glyderau Range in Snowdonia, and more specifically, the Devil's Kitchen: Lovely photo of the Devil''s Kitchen taken at 18mm Google...

Hi all, Many thanks for all your answers - I have to say that I didn't initially think it was an exposure issue but I had nothing to back the theory up! You were all, of course, correct ;) I went out today to try again and gave up attempting to get any detail in the foreground and...

For sunsets over the sea you will want to be north-west facing, so the northern coast of Cornwall or anywhere on the south west area of Pembrokeshire will be good. The area around St David and Porthgain is great for that sort of thing! Here's Cornwall...

Sorry guys, I should have been clearer :bonk: It's not so much the bleaching out of the clouds (i quite like the irregular shape it makes), as it has to be that bright to keep the detail in the foreground (I have an grad ND on the way to sort that out), it was more the orange 'halo'/ring...

Hi All, I tend to take quite a lot of photos of sunsets but I'm having some trouble with some flaring. As in the images below, I'm seeing some flaring around the sun: 1/100, F11, ISO 100, 96mm (taken with my sigma) 1/100, F16, ISO 100, 28mm (taken with my sigma) One the...

Hi Scott, A lot of amazing images to look through; this was my favourite though: http://www.flickr.com/photos/27326473@N03/3173338285/ great flare on the sun and i love the look through the reeds. My flickr is here Thanks, Tom

The big rock (I think it's called Chapel Rock) is a good focal point, especially if the tide is up - I got this down there in April on a nice day: And this on a not so nice day: The coastal walk round to St Agnes has some great scenery and old tin mines (if you're after that...

I find this quite useful for planning sunset shots and to check the rough angles, also has sun set/rise times for each day - uses google maps for the images: The Photographer's Ephemeris You can save locations too and wind the date round to see how it affects the location of the...
