    Sites for photography

    Hi On Sunday I am driving back from Middlesbrough to Sussex. I thought I'd stop on the way back to do some bird photography and break up the journey. Can anyone recommend any locations that are good for wildlife photography at this time of year? Thanks in advance

    Canon EF 70-300mm f4-5.6L IS USM

    I currently have a 7D with 400mm F5.6 lens. However I am off to Mull soon and need a lens to photograph White Tailed Sea Eagles. Have been told that 400mm may well be too much. As a result I am after a lens with less magnification. I was thinking of getting a zoom lens as it then gives me a bit...

    Lightweight Tripod and Head advice needed

    Ok I literally know nothing about tripods so need some advice. At the moment I am using one I picked up for a tenner a couple of years ago. It does the job (to an extent!) but is rather heavy! I am off on a tour of Iceland soon and am looking to get an suitable (and much lighter!) tripod to...

    After months of practicing using the 7D and 400mm f5.6 combination I am at the point where I am geting more and more images I am happy with (and more importantly when I am not I know why!). Anyway there are a couple of issues that I would like advice on. Firstly at times I would really like...

    Canon f5.6 test shots - all ok?

    Hi I have mentioned on a number of threads that I am struggling at times to get good quality sharp pictures with my Canon f5.6 400mm lens.

    Upgrading 600D to 7D

    I have been using the 600D with the 400mm f5..6 prime lens. I am thinking of upgrading the 600D to the 7D but am not sure if it is worth it? Does anyone have any idea of the sort of benefits I will get by upgrading and whether it would be worth it? Thanks
