I'm sure we'll sort another one soon enough.
I can't do it that frequently though, I may be living at home but I'm meant to be saving for a house deposit, so I can't spunk away £50 on trains that often ;)
I'll just be bringing three lenses:
85mm 1.4 - for possible street candid photography.
24-70mm - for most of the shots of the day.
16-35mm - if I need anything wider.
- A sturdy tripod, or at least some way of holding the camera is essential.
- Warm clothes!!!!
I'll bring all of the my...
I'm s**t too lol!
Well as much I'd love to see some of Darren's work, it sounds really weird, and it's viewing by appointment only too. Plus I'd really like to get some shots buy the river in the daytime, and I doubt we'll have time if we go and see that.
I know Nick's quite keen, but as he...
I can only guess f5.6 isn't big enough for star photography.
But I would imagine a killer body with super awesome high ISO performance would be better.....do Canon even make such a camera?! ;)
Thanks for the link AK, might be worth a go sometime.
Can those you are coming just confirm, and also let me know what time they can be places?
My train arrives at Paddington 14.29, so I can get a tube to wherever is best to meet.
If you all want to visit Darren Heath's exhibition we can...
That's a bit of a different in price lol!!
Also, with that lens you can't use screw in filters, or even normal slot in filters without a special adapter.
I wouldn't really consider the GTR a 'super car' in the traditional way, but it certainly goes like one!
Tough choice, but the LFA is pretty tempting ;)
12mm is still wide, that's 18mm on full frame. My wide angle lens is a 16-35mm (FF).
Remember the wider you go, the more distortion etc. yes ok you can fix it, but it's still not the same.
I doubt you'll say "I wish I had an extra 2mm" if you got the Nikon.
For landscape shots, I can't see why you'd go as large as f/4, night shots is something different though.
I have no experience of that type of photograph at all really, but I see a lot of shots taken wide open with expensive glass (f2.8).
The Sigma 10-20mm gets a lot of rave reviews from what I've seen.
If you're a Nikon user, how about the 12-24mm f/4? I had that as my first UWA, awesome lens.
What's your budget? An entry level SLR would be food if you can get one. I'm sure they have a 'beginner mode', but you can always ditch that and experiment with the manual controls too, so you can learn that way.
Anything Nikon or Canon is good.
And you don't need a super expensive camera to...
