Out of interest, I have just got some muslin back drops from eBay, but they have come creased. What is the best way to rid the creases? Am I ok just to iron them out?

Ah that has eased my mind a bit lol. I'm guessing if I got the cotton muslin's I'd be able to iron the creases out? Shouldn't be a problem should it?

I'm looking to pick a backdrop to take a few studio style shots. I seen a few cheaper ones on eBay with cotton muslin backdrops are they worth it? Will it do a decent job for a beginner? Thanks

Wow, looks like ill haver a busy day ahead. Thanks.

Hi, Unsure if this is the right place to post. Mods feel free to move if needed. Im off to Chester this weekend and want to take some shots. One of my days i will be at the zoo so that is fine. But i have a day spare and will more than likely go into town. Is there anything of interest...

both lenses then?

i have the 18-55 kit lens for my Nikon D60 and hopefully my 35mm/1.8 will be here shortly. Im going off to chester for the weekend @ Easter and want to take some pictures, (ill be going round the town and also to the zoo) The question is, i dont really fancy taking both lenses as im lazy...

excellent, really looking forward to getting it now and going to have a "play"

i have just ordered this lens for my Nikon D60 (had the 50mm but wasnt getting the best results with the manual focus) Could anyone give me the good and bad points for the lens? Any help / info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

im new to photopgraphy and im still learning every time i take my camera out. 1 - patience is the key, take my time when taking shots and take several of each subject. 2 - Keep an open mind, i have found myself constantly looking for subjects to shoot wherever i am. 3 - im never happy...

Thanks for the detailed response. In theory i understand the triangle so to speak. I am new to photography so felt it easier to learn how to take pictures using apperture mode and trying to figure out what f-stop to use in what situation (altering the ISO if needed) But now i want to do...

Thanks for all the quick replies yes i seem to be able to understand F stops and can normally figure out what f-stop to use in what situation. Im now looking to work on shutter speed and try to figure that out, then slowly move on to manual in the long term. I normally take pictures of my...

Hi, I have been shooting in “aperture mode” and I have now come to terms into what f stop I need for what situations (kind of) but have never taken much notice of the shutter speed. I want to be able to adjust the shutter speed for each scenario, can anyone explain how it is used etc and...

This thread has helped me out a lot, I recently bought a 50mm/f1.8 for my Nikon D60 and gave manual focus a go. I take mainly pictures of my 3 year old and then sports also. I found manual focus really difficult whilst he was running around etc. I would get a decent shot but the main...
