Has to be a wind up :D I can't imagine anyone spending 3k on a camera, and only then discovering that it only works with a "cartridge of tape" :cuckoo: :lol:

I've just gone through a similar decision (compact to back up DSLR). I've had experience with the G7 - G9, and thought they were brilliant, so I strongly considered the G12, especially as it had the tilt'y screen. However in the end (after trying one in the hand), I went with the S95, mainly...

Thanks guys. Good idea Squishy :thumbs:

Hi Chris. Just to clarify. I wasn't refering to using the DOF button in normal use. Obviously when you reverse a lens, you lose the ability to set the apature. The technique described was to have the lens mounted the right way round, set the apature, then whilst holding in the DOF button...

Hi. I was looking into experimenting a little with macro photography, and as I don’t have any previous experience I was looking to start off basic, i.e. either using a reversing ring or tubes on a 50mm lens. I’ve found a chart that will give the relevant ratio settings for tubes (1:1 ...

At their core, most people want to be accepted for who they are, not be thought of as different. It seems like the bride is making the statement "this is who I am". Good technical tip. Just because the person is comfortable with their scars, there's no need to over emphasise them, in the same...

The best bet would be to get it as close as you can with a physical filter, then fine tune with Lightroom. If the sky is completely blown out in the image, then LR will only be able to recover so much (if anything). Likewise if you expose for the sky in camera and try to recover the darker...

Once you get the BB focusing set up, just be prepared to go through a little frustration in the first couple weeks as you forget you have it set this way and wonder why the shutter release isn't focussing ;) Went through this myself (a few times) :suspect: , but after percevering I wouldn't...

It's so you have some adjustment on where the graduated transition takes place, i.e. you don't always want it in the centre of the frame.

For months I was completely torn between the 50D and the 550D. Time after time I would go into the camera shop and compare the two, but kept coming to the conclusion that both had some of the functions I required, but neither had all of them. So in the end I stumped up and went with the 7D...

This is exactly my experience and feelings. Went from a 300D to the 7D and for the first couple days I couldn't understand why my focus kept wandering from photo to photo. Once I figured out what was happening, and also figured out some of the 7D's other cool tricks, I never looked back...

By default the 7D is set up for all points focussing and one shot drive. In this combination the 7D tends to focus on the nearest object, even if it is quite a way over to one side. I suspect that is why the plank and rope in the bottom right are in focus as they look to be the nearest...

Tried it last night (bliimin freezing :eek:). It appears that Startrails.de only adds brightness to an image if the new pixels are brighter than the ones that were there before. So if you have a foreground object that is illuminated with a constant light source, it wont get brighter with...

Does Statrail.de build up lighting information over the 50-100 shots, or does it only look for lighting differences between shots (i.e. the star trails). I'm looking at the sky exposure and lighting on the ruins in your example, did you need to expose for these on your initial photo, or was...

Thank goodness I appear to be lucky enough to have one of the "few" good ones :thumbs: Pin sharp and extremely fast to focus.
