    Canon Primes

    That seems to go against what everyone else has said, why do you find the 500mm easier to walk around with?, or is it just a mistake :)

    Black and white, no blue

    It is possible to alter the background by making new layer with only the kingfisher on it, then select the background layer. Using photo filter select colour and choose a shade of blue on the slider, then using saturation you can increase the intensity of the blue. The effects aren't too...

    Sigma 105mm EX DG OS HSM F2.8?

    Yeah I've been looking around at reviews for it, but i was wondering if anyone owned one. I have tried having a look for any for sale but their all new and located in china. It was just a whim more than anything to see how it stacked up against the Canon 100mm IS L, however after seeing the...

    Photshop Elements and External Hard drive?

    What you can do is select the file you wish to use and drag it across into the software you are using (click once and hold it down whilst moving). If the file is only good for backing up your files it shouldn't work, however if they are just duplicate files (which i suspect) then they should...

    Sigma 105mm EX DG OS HSM F2.8?

    I have been trying to find some reviews on this lens, and they are abit scarce. Does anybody have first hand experience with it and care to share it, or even better example photos taken with it? Ryan

    How can I make these better?

    They are all really soft, you could sharpen them abit using photoshop or lightroom or anyother software similar, but all you are going to do is introduce artifacts into the picture and still have soft photos (if a little less than before). F11 is over kill, try dropping it down F5.6-6.3'ish and...

    It seems an exspensive accident waiting to happen... Although it certainly would be usefull. Ryan

    The nikon D800 is a good example of fewer units = greater cost, but at the same time i don't know if the demand for the one with video would be higher?, especially if the one without video would cost less initially. Which is my point, people who buy a DSLR do it mainly for taking stills and on...

    Where did i say that?, i said if having the option to not have video only saved you £50 it would be worth it in my book. hence the price is much lower amongst other things, i am well aware of the features of the 7D and that video isn't responsible for the high price, i was stating that if you...

    Any experience with SLRHUT?

    I never saw the £888 as i always assumed tax and duty was included in the price, however im sure had i gone through the process of buying it i would have found out :). It is largely irrelevant now as i won't be buying it from them anymore. Ryan

    Why two lines of camera though if it is simply a software installation, all that needs to be done is when the firmware is downloaded onto the camera from the factory either exclude or include it in the package. I fully believe that canon work out R&D specific to one model, it's hardly a one man...

    New from Canon

    I disagree, if you think about the cost to Canon of the research and testing required to get functional HD recording software and integrating it into a DSLR this is certainly going to be reflected in the price. Canon are not going to give video technology for free.. so for those who do not use...

    Any experience with SLRHUT?

    Thanks peter when i searched it on Google shop it had 400+ good reviews, however i never bothered to read them all and although it may turn out to be a good deal (I'm not too bothered about grey imports) i shall not be risking it. Ryan

    I'm with jaff on this, i think they should clearly divide the two, i know there are people who like the video option on their DSLR, but how much cheaper would the 7D be without it as i will never use it im sure. Ryan

    Canon 60Da

    It will be useful for all the astronomists out there, but with a price tag of $1500 that makes it a very expensive 60D for anything else. As far as i can tell that's its only unique selling point... Ryan

    Lightroom 4

    Hi Des You just save the image file to a memory card or some other form of memory device and take it in..., i don't know what files they can detect, certainly Jpeg but im not too sure about Tiff and im 100% sure they can't use raw files. Ryan

    Hi all I have been looking for a decent priced Canon 7D and this seems a really good deal, i have read alot of good thing about the website but i was wondering if anyone else has any experience with them, the link is below...

    new fuji HS20

    Theres a very big difference between purposly over exposing the background to bring the white of the hare/rabbit into focus and over exposing the background by mistake and it looking awful. The guys that take the photos do so on purpose and understand the effect it is going to give (on the...

    Orange-tip butterfly

    Yeah one of the issues i have with flash is if the background isn't close enough to the focal plane then it blacks out and looks horrible. Also natural light is much 'softer' so it makes for a better photo, like in this case, i just wonder how practical it is to do macro photography without...

Plus you get free 1.4 and 2x teleconverter covers, i only...

    Orange-tip butterfly

    Great photos, at 1/125th the sharpness is cracking :) Do you use flash often with your 'field' macro work?, i have been trying macro without flash but with a sigma 180mm without IS it's pretty tricky, and 1/125th is out of the question meaning im getting less than desirable F stops to keep the...

    If your going to be so flippant about any advice given and have a 'professional' with whom you can collaborate then I'm tempted to make a comment regarding posting in the first place. If you genuinely want advice and you take it on board then carry on posting if not then why bother? Ryan

    Can I for Under $300?

    You could/should try putting this in the digiscoping section, i'm sure it would get much more attention there :)
