    Canon's DPP upgrade

    Thanks Mark, will make sure I upgrade!

    Which lens?

    Like mark said it depends what you want it for. If you want to replace your 18-55 then the 17-55 f/2.8 is a fantastic lens

    Longleat Safari Park - holiday photo's

    Re: Longleat Safari Park Some fantastic shots there, I always enjoy going to Longleat, been there quite a fwe times in recent years. My understanding is that a UV filter reduces glare such as the light being reflected off the water which is what seems to be the problem you are having :?:

    My first photo contest

    I like Macs, I love how they look so sleek and sexy,and are very good for photo/video editing. The saying is so very true "pc users swear at their computers, mac users swear by their computers", but I will still always stick with a pc for the forseeable future. I don't like the idea of paying...

    450d lenses or compatibles

    The best EF-S lens imo is the 17-55mm f/2.8, blows the kit lens out of the water, is a bit pricey tho

    Recomendations for online Camera gear.

    I agree with all the above regarding the 1.8, in terms of what you get for the money you spend, you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal on any lens. Don't own it myself but borrowed a friends for a while, image quality is very good :mrgreen:

    Banggai Cardinalfish

    They are very cool fish. Mouth brooders, spit the fry amongst the spines of an urchin to protect them once they hatch. Fortunately all the ones you see in shops these days are tank bred

    Plec Pics

    Do you shoot in RAW or JPEG? If you use RAW, you can fiddle around with the white balance after you've taken the shot. I have the same camera as you and I use the Digital Photo Professional software that came with the camera to alter the WB

    Who needs plants, anyway!?

    Not a lot of people do this anymore. There are some really well scaped tanks out there at the moment, have a browse of some reefing forums and you'll find some stunners about :D

    Restoring an old forge - Photos.

    I'm not quite up to your level yet Steve, usually stick to aperture priority mode, usually serves me well enough. Always shoot in RAW tho, adjust levels/wb etc in Digital Photo Professional, the into PS Elements to crop, add frame/signature etc.

    Sepia portrait

    I like it a lot George! Personally I would go with a slightly tighter crop to cut out some of the black to the right, but other than that an excellent effort! Keep 'em coming!

    Canon 40D

    I know what you mean about not having the time, hard to squeeze in any photography at the moment! I'd go with the Canon 50mm f/1.4 if it were my money (depending on budget of course) Some nice captures on your Flickr too :mrgreen: , gotta love 'picking a winner' ! :lol:

    Canon 40D

    Another very good site for what each lens is capable of: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/for ... .php?f=107 24-105 f/4 L is next on my list. Never used a 40D personally, but heard good things

    Canon 5D anyone? Sale at 7dayshop.

    If I could just get the body for £579 and not have to pay an extra £1700 for those 2 lenses like on that link I would seriously consider it
  36. Joecoral

    Canon 5D anyone? Sale at 7dayshop.

    Considering the value of the 2 lenses it comes with is around £1700, its a good deal. Mainly because theres a new updated 5D mkII just come out, so the old models are getting sold off cheap

    New lens for Canon

    Yup, the 50mm f/1.8 is what they call the nifty-fifty. Good for portraits, also good for aquarium photography

    best budget camera

    If you fancy a DSLR, both Canon and Nikon offer very good "entry-level" models. I currently use a canon 400D which was the cheapest canon when I bought it and is great, I'm really pleased with it, although they have since introduced the cheaper 450D Are you after a DSLR (which takes a bit of...

    Leaving battery in camera

    With my old P+S which took disposables, and my videocam, I found whenever I left the battery in the camera unused for any length of time it seemed to drain the battery However I was reading a "camerabag checklist" on another forum, and several members advised leaving the battery in the camera...

    Difference?

    ok, thats for all the help saintly! :D
  50. Joecoral

    Difference?

    whats the difference between a prime and a macro then, as I always assumed the 50mm f/1.8 could be used for macro photography?
  51. Joecoral

    Difference?

    canon
  52. Joecoral

    Difference?

    Whats the difference between the 50mm f/1.8, and the 50mm f/2.5 Macro? I understand the aperture is a little wider on the 1.8, but why is it not marketed as macro whilst the 2.5 is? and why does "macro" make it more expensive?

    New lens for Canon

    For portraits / macro / aquarium photography the Canon 50mm f/1.8 http://www.warehouseexpress.com/product ... ?sku=12814 is a good entry level lens, or if you're feeling a bit more flush, the canon 100mm f/2.8 USM http://www.warehouseexpress.com/product ... ?sku=12862 which I hear is a fantastic...
