    DSLR Suggestions

    Thanks to everyone for their input. I went to a local independent camera shop today and he suggested the Canon 1200D or the 100D. The also showed me the Nikon D3300. I'm reading up into the 100D and D3300 as I wasn't sure which one to pick at the same price point. I liked the 100D's...

    DSLR Suggestions

    Hello all, It's been a while since I've been on Ukaps website & forum! Things have changed a bit since I was doing planted tanks but thought I'd turn to my trusted people of Ukaps for some advice! I've never had a DSLR camera and am planning on getting one to take snaps of our first baby &...

    Camera Suggestions

    After another trial run, I'm going to get the TZ10. Cheaper than I expected but looks good and the reviews suggest that it is or one of the best for holiday use.

    Camera Suggestions

    So today, I've been into Jessops and London Camera Exchange to ask for their advice. I asked for a "camera to capture the holiday" and they both suggested the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ8 £179 or TZ10 for £220 - something I was happy with given they're supposed to know their stuff and that they're...

    Camera Suggestions

    Thanks, I'll have a few reads through all your comments above. I've contacted an old colleague who I borrowed their Canon 450d for some fishy shots and I seemed to like it - they're interested in selling it so going to see how much as they had a few lenses with it too. Last time they wanted...

    Full tank shots

    Just over a year ago, I saw this setup and was truly amazed by it's beauty. The number of healthy plants and fish was amazing. It looks like it's got even better! John you're the man :thumbup:

    A friend's camera has stopped working. She was taking photos today, clicked on preview to see the photo she'd just taken. The last one was there but the rest were black. Any ideas?

    They are cracking photos. For some strange reason, I prefer the photo from your "travels". I prefer to see things that are not everyday occurances. Good job and well done.

    I just love seeing Mark's photos, each one is great in it's own way. I'm always amazed on how clean your tanks look, god knows how much work you put into getting and keeping everything clean. If only mine were half a clean.

    Vacation in Mexico

    "Steve" the Stingray loved the attention of us and kept swimming past and let you rub him. He was huge too at least 3ft across. We also saw sea turtles swimming in the same bay at Isla Contoy, however, we couldn't get a decent photo.

    Vacation in Mexico

    Well, I had a fantastic time. The weather was mainly above 33C most days and so could only sunbathe for about 30 mins before having sweat on my sweat! Anyway, I tried to take some arty photos for a change, let me know what you think... Sunrise Chichen Itza Isla Contoy A few "fishy ones"...

    Any such thing as a descent compact camera?

    I have a "bridge" camera which I use for all sorts and it compact enough to carry around. It's a Canon Powershot A710IS, it's a bit old now but I guess there are newer models along the same line.

    Action Photography - Speedway

    Good stuff, it's a shame you can't capture the smell of the methanol and shale in a photo. I love speedway and used to goto Hull when we had the Vikings, I should really goto Swindon for a few race nights. Nothing beats someone hugging the boards out wide on the last turn on lap 4 and just...

    Nikon D40

    Thanks for that link too Paulo! I'm too really getting the photography itch, but don't really have the chance at the minute. Maybe the D40 could be where I step up to a DSLR and their price seems reasonable too.

    Who needs plants, anyway!?

    I like these type of things, there was the chocolate gourmi setup a while ago that I loved. I don't think I'll go for it in my tanks but appreciate it's beauty as I try and get something for the fish as natural as possible.

    George's Iwagumi

    Thats interesting about the HC George, I've noticed that mine has started growing upward like you describe. Is it best to prune back to the substrate as soon as possible, or would you wait a week or so after planting for the HC to establish itself in the substrate? Any tips would be appreciated...

    My 60cm with Canon 50D

    Lovely George. As a "crpyt guy" at the minute I must say that the crpyts on the right look great. I'm starting to think about investing in a decent camera. Although, mine takes good overall shots I think sometimes the crispness is missed with it.

    Superman's Photos

    Thanks, I was messing with the Fs, 1/60's and ISOs. The filters are good, not as fantastic as I thought. It's more limited with my camera's focus rather than the lenses themselves. They do the job they're designed for.

    Final photo shoots - nice link

    Good to see that good photos can be produced from a lower spec hybrid camera than mine as they used the A640 and I have the A710. I think I need to practice my photography.

    Ah right, so I don't need to buy the Canon filters. As long as I get the conversion lens that'll fit my camera (58mm), I can get any 58mm filters?
