We used decent Walkie talkies on our euro road trip. Worked fine.

Nothing in life is free.

Better! The next thing to watch out for is the composition. Avoid having the car right in the centre of the frame, remember the rule of thirds :)

Nice! What make?

Why do you care what it's as fast as? It's going to cost a lot of money, be very unreliable....and you'll never get the money back when you want to sell it.

It all depends on how the car is travelling in relation to you. In the shot above, the car won't be moving much in the frame during the shot, so I personally would be going down to 1/60th or lower to really get some movement. And always have the ISO as low as possible UNLESS it's too dark.

The yozza is just a different backbox, has no effect on MOT results.

If you're shooting cars, I would be in S priority mode, and have a lowish shutter speed to capture the movement in the car. That shot above just looks like the car is parked on the road, I assume it was in fact mid drift? If it was, you can't tell that by the way youve captured it.

errr....surely a proper drivers car would have a proper gearbox? (ie a manual)

I would say anything Nikon or Canon. I'm not going to force you on one or the other, as it's very much personal preference....but it used to be that Nikon were better than Canon at the entry level cameras, not sure if it's still like that these days.

I think I'll look out of place if I turn up to the next one ;)

That would need a MASSIVE explanation. I wouldnt even know where to begin tbh!

Yes, but if it's a complex nightscape, you may need to manually adjust the exposure.

A very quiet flight over to Tel Aviv:

No. If you upgraded to 4 pot brakes or similar then yes. But changing the discs or pads is not an issue.

I would let the camera autoexposure (in A mode) for the building. As it will be dark (I'm guessing), it will be a relatively longer exposure. This will cause the lit windows to overexposure, possibly a lot. So take another exposure just for the windows, you'll probably have to do this manually...

You might want to take two separate exposures, one for the building itself, and one for the lit windows....as you may find that taking just one photo will overexpose the windows. I'd be at around f/8-f/11, in A priority....possibly exposure bracketing if the windows are overexposing.

ah yeh, must not have been concentrating when I wrote that ;) And Fuji, the b******s, have just released the X100S!! Not long after I got the X100.

Ah ok. Just looks like a good potential photoshoot spot. And not too far from me at all :)

Sensor swabs, if a rocket blower doesn't shift it. If the dust is on your sensor, you will see it through the viewfinder, but it wont appear on your photos as the mirror flicks up when the photo is taken.

Nice! Where's the place in the first photo?

We use a D800 at work. My god the files a massive!! I process the photos on a HP workstation PC, which really struggles after a while. It's only got 2GB RAM too!!

That's not very useful for sunsets (except for long exposure ones, but you still need other filters to pull it off properly). You can spend hundreds on filters, and I speak from experience!

Well they're not the normal circular threaded filters. They need a holder like this: You then get square filters that slot in the holder. I'm not sure how much entry level filters are, I think Cokin do smaller and cheaper ones. Start of a very slippery slope too!

hmmm....that's a good one. Aperture at f/11 or so (sharpest), probably on aperture priority too, so the camera works out the rest. Maybe exposure compensate if it's coming out too dark or bright. Apart from using all sorts of filters etc, there's not much else I do for those types of shots.

Are you seriously comparing iems to these!? And FYI, they are not s**t.

It's been s**t lately. Since buying my Fuji X100, I've been out with it ONCE, and that was for only an hour or so. Really uninspiring weather over xmas.

50mm is a great focal length, and on your camera....35mm is nearer true 50mm. 50mm on your camera will be 75mm, which is an awkward focal length for everyday stuff.

I've just noticed my do not disturb was on. I wondered why I didn't hear it when I received texts this morning. Didn't notice the little moon icon in the top.

What's the range like on these things then? 250 miles?
