Not that I'm aware of :)

For £400 I’d say the 50D is a good choice, that way you can keep that lens. Plus, for £400 you could only just about get a 5D Mark I in the full frame market which isn’t exactly the most up to date camera in the world.

I've just got an email back from 500px saying that they've taken what once said on board, as well as a number of other similar ones and are now working on bettering the quality and layout, so hopefully we'll see some good changes :)

So, is it just me who thinks that 500px has been made worse with the updates that have been gradually coming in over the past year/6 months? I used to love the site and the images were fantastic to look at, but now even pin sharp photos appear to be soft. This isn’t helped by the huge size that...

I think that perhaps distortion would be a more apt term, i.e. Pincushion distortion at longer focal lengths and barrel distortion at wider focal lengths.

I didn't mean standard in terms of a standard like a 50mm, I meant it in terms of your average walkabout lens, I.e. The 18-55, 15-85. But yeah that's fair enough, but most lenses are sharp at F8 so it wouldn't make a world of difference. If the OP intends on using it for other purposes such as...

I’ve had a lot of gear from Digital Rev, absolutely fantastic service. I’d recommend them to anybody tbh.

Cheers, Tommo :)

Should that be what he wants out of it then your standard walkabout zoom will suffice seeing as the wider aperture of these lenses will be made redundant.

Cheers, Brazo. Did you notice the guy with one arm too? That takes some commitment, it’s bad enough with both arms!

Personally I’d go for the 50mm for the shallower DoF, the 35 is good for certain photos, but the 50’s images will pop more when wide open which is the purpose of these fast aperture prime lenses really, especially considering that if shallow DoF wasn’t on your agenda then you could just buy a...

I like those two, A_Cro! Particularly the second one.

^The RX100 exceeds most if not all of the Lumix compacts, once Brazo comes along he’ll be able to give you more of an insight because he had an RX100.

That’s exactly what has been done there, it just requires a slow enough shutter speed to blur the cars, yet fast enough to keep the safety car sharp.

The 70D will match the 7D for most of the stuff and exceed it in some areas, it all depends on how much the build quality bothers you. Both are fantastic cameras, either way you’ll be pleased. Oh and the CPL filter could be bought second hand, but tbh I’d just buy one new, I got mine for £25...

I’m coming to this now. It could be good to get a few together in a formation for some photos too, that’s providing that we can find a quiet part to do it.

It’s not that fast, no. But it all depends on the OP’s budget. The perfect walk around for Canon crops is the 17-55mm F2.8 really, but that comes with at a higher price as can be expected. Although, the Tamron equivalents go for a lot less and are said to be very good.

The 70D is a good choice, the 7D is more of a pro grade camera and will feel more solid but the sensor in the 70D is superior, and a good improvement. So I’d go with the 70D. If you want photos of your car then I’d recommend a CPL filter for the lens (obviously at the relevant filter size) too...

I'll come along providing that I can source transport to get there, so I’m not a definite yet.

I’d be up for this :)

Ah right yeah, I’ve had that before in business districts, but usually they just send you on your way. I’ll probably avoid it anyway and just get some of the buildings there from another location, like a bit further down the river from Tower Bridge.

Cheers :)

Some nice contrast and tones in this, it just needs a longer exposure like Dan said :)

Ahh right. I’m going to have a look around Canary Warf next time too for night stuff.

^I like that viewpoint, I might steal that viewpoint when I next visit.

Lightroom is the best for light tweaking. It's better than photoshop for tweaking photos with things such as spot exposure/white balance/noise reduction etc that would be lengthy tasks in photoshop. Photoshop is more for completely changing an image or making things with more than one image such...

Sorry, *AOL
