    Tripod Help

    Helloooo, What do you guys think of this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-MANFROTTO-190 ... 2ead0b1ef8 I've got a Manfrotto tripod at the moment but it's not too good, it's really for compact cameras and I find it wiggles around too much. Is it better to go for a ball head...

I figure this is a good bet, it's a nice upgrade from the D40 and I could use my existing lenses if I...

    B&W buffs opinion needed

    Hey guys, does anyone know much about post processing digitally for black and white images. I took this picture recently and tweaked a few things in Lightroom and have got the below image. Problem is I don't know much about B&W and am not sure if this is maybe too much, too contrasty. There...

    Lomography - Don't Think Just Shoot

    For a while now I've been fascinated with the whole Lomo scene, truth be told I own a few film cameras of that ilk myself, a Holga, Vivitar Ultra Wide Slim, Smena, and a Holga 135 too. I've never bought a Lomo LC-A mainly because of the price of them for what they are!!! But to me the point of...

    Decent Tripod

    Me again. Does anyone have any opinons on Tripods? I've been using a jessops one I borrowed recently but I find it really heavy and cumbersome and quite unwieldy to use. I do a lot of stuff walking round woodland and I want something I can get quite low down with also, so I've been set to get a...

    Decent bag

    Can anyone recommend a decent bag to carry a DSLR with lens attached and 2 other lens? The ability to hang a tripod off it too would be nice. At the moment I use a Lowepro slingshot but I don't like it, too uncomfortable.

    New Camera! woot woot

    So I finally got a Nikon D40, I'm really impressed with it guys, I love the viewfinder and the control you have, even though I have no idea what I'm doing I just shot some pictures on Saturday using 'A' mode, i.e setting the aperture but letting the camera take care of everything else. See...

    developing film

    I'm about to embark on using a Holga medium format 'toy' camera for creative photography. The only problem is it's been years since I've had any film developed at all. Do any of you guys know where I can get medium format film developed and what kind of prices I should be looking at? What...

    Nature Macros

    I've just bought a new camera and am getting to grips with it slowly, using the manual aperture mode and letting the camera look after the shutter speed at the moment. Here are some macro shots I've been taking which sum up a kind of methodology I am working towards. Basically I'm trying to...
