I've just sold my 28mm f/1.8 & 85mm f/1.8 lenses and now have just the 10-22 + 70-200 F4. Any reason I shouldn't get the 17-55 IS as my all rounder lens to complete my kit?

Great site, lots of familiar images..

Night Mode? sounds like a gimmick name for High ISO. You'll want a camera that can take clean high ISO images for ambient club lighting and fire an external flash that can be bounced from the ceiling. Get yourself on the camera forums/ebay and hunt down some second hand gear. Canon 350D +...

Ouch, is the camera not still intact if you just remove whats left of the lens?

Really? Sliding a piece of plastic to match your horizon was easier than moving a mountain last time I checked ;)

I'd start by looking at Nat Geo photo galleries, found one so far.. http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/ http://environment.nationalgeographic.com/environment/photos/ocean-pollution.html I'd just explore from there, if you find anything good stick the photographers name into google...

can have a go... e-mails on profile etc..

I'd quite like the Sigma 100-300 F4, heard it focuses quick and is well built. Do find my 70-200 is often to short. Anyway, I just sold my 350D + 18-55, with 1GB Jessops memory and a bag for 250 delivered if that helps. Camera was in average condition with a few marks on the screen. Just look...

Depends on what I'm after. A one off landscape shot could spend half hour messing around, blending layers etc. or 30 seconds if its one of 100+ lacrosse images for example..

details details details What are you shooting, what are you shooting with, what lenses, how bad is the light, natural light only, flash, tripod, stabilised lens etc etc.

What the... DSLR camera's (in general) do very little in camera-processing and produce flat un-sharpened images, your meant to develop them in PS. As with modifying cars you can't polish a turd.

You know of any Grad filters that are tree shaped? You'll just end up with a dirty great line across the image and underexposed trees even with a soft GND filter. 2-3 image HDR would have been the best approach, done subtly enough people won't know its HDR. Alternatively shooting with the sun in...

years ago? read the rules ;)

Anyone else on AOL have issues with half the websites on the web if using IE or Firefox or anything that isn't the AOL software? If I go on my dads PC and use the AOL software all websites work, if I use IE on his PC there are issues. The same issues I'm having up stairs through the wireless...

Forget plastic, also has an annoying center column. I use something like this, although am going to sell for something better soon. http://www.bristolcameras.co.uk/p-velbon-sherpa-250r.htm

I'd collect one from a Jessops store personally, they have the best UK price and if/when I ever buy a Sigma I'd rather test before I buy. http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod242.html

Budget? I may be selling my Velbon 250R soon, its nice and sturdy has done me well but upgrading soon-ish...

Whats the subject? Moving cars in tunnels? Post an example of one that went wrong and the gear you used.

Fish eye is bit of a 1 trick pony IMO, I'd look for a wide angle unless you think you'll be doing lots of shots where a fish will be essential. Lots of choices. Wide Canon 10-22 Sigma 10-20 Tamron 10-24 (new so not sure its available) Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 Fisheye Tokina 10-17 Sigma...

lies! Photography is the same as car modding, put sh*t in get sh*t out... Best you do with these is turn up the contrast a little to bring out the colours as the 350D like most DSLR's will produce flat pictures out of the camera so some editing is needed.

Its the guy holding the camera's reflection and the light heading towards the baby is lens flare. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_flare

Plenty of mention, just the D90 is entry/mid level and this is pro level and is priced as such :( lol Maybe in a few years...

Its a useful remote and cheap, the 40D remote costs a bomb :( but has some awesome features, meh! Oh and shoot in RAW or set a custom WB to try and reduce the horrible colour from the street lights, might help..

PP, meant post processing. Flickr should let you keep the EXIF info. Do you have a crop of the original before noise reduction. It was also shot at ISO 400 which won't be perfect, will come down to how good the exposure is and the quality of light.

No Exif and no 100% crops, not much to say really. Can't see any noise from those samples. Are you doing any PP? Correcting underexposure?

Be selective about what you shoot with, oh and buy more memory, its cheap. I've always shot in RAW just in case when going on 'shoots'. I've been able to go back and do amazing things that I couldn't do at the time that wouldn't be possible with Jpeg. Just turn on RAW when you're waiting to...

...mine comes with memory, bag, remote and cokin adapters :p

Second hand 350D, I believe there is one for auction posted in the eBay section ;)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220286955905 Enjoy..

You can't zoom? Maybe if your using a prime lens...
