Why not go for a 50 then? Cracking cameras. Granted, they are a bit old now and are lacking some tech but still great nevertheless.

You know you can put them up on instagram and not apply any filters ;)

Swift key. Worth the couple of quid IMO. Much better than the stock keyboard.

The 450 is good. Should pick up a kit lens cheap too. There are some offers about on the 1100 at the moment too. Think Currys are doing it for £270 with a free tripod too.

Square by A_Cro, on Flickr Made explore yesterday. Has 2030 is views so far. Put it on two days ago.

Congratulations Niall. Maybe I should have picked an easier theme, might have had a few more entries. Shame only a few voted though, especially with the number of views...

I forgot that you had gone FF. The 50 should be fine then. Might struggle with a few wide things but should be really good for a walk around lens. Another one from the Llandudno trip. Looks better in the square crop I think. Square by A_Cro, on Flickr

Cheers :) Yeah your 50mm should be ok for a few shots. It weighs nothing anyway so I'd pack it if I were you. I nearly used mine when I was walking along the promenade and Conwy Quayside but i kept with the 10-20 or the 55-250 for the bird shots. Where about are you staying? Hopefully the...

Took a drive around yesterday and a bit of a walk. Had a few places in mind that I wanted to shoot with the Ten stop. Here's a few of them. Didn't have to travel far. This is on my door step. Rhuddlan Castle by A_Cro, on Flickr A drive to Llandudno. Llandudno pier by A_Cro, on Flickr...

Looks like the moto - X won't be the new Nexus ad it's only available in the USA apparently. I've not watched the reveal yet as I was in bed early for work today but my mate watched and said it won't be available anywhere else.

Yeah I know they are releasing the MotoX. Not sure if that will be a nexus device though. Thought there would have been more talk of it though if it is launching in a few hours in America?

Full of premium items. Getting silly now. Just like the Squid port. One or two things for cash and then everything else for 20+ donuts!

Very much doubt that. Nothing has been confirmed by anyone and Google are looking at Asus (I think) due to their great reviews and feedback of the Nexus 7. I've got until January until my contract is up. If there is no new Nexus I might give the HTC One a try as that's supposed to be brilliant.

This got 74 yesterday - 227 so far today (all from Flickr) and 470 All time. Strange as I only put it up yesterday! Numbers don't add up! Rain_ by A_Cro, on Flickr

I got the update for my Samsung Nexus a few nights ago. Only major thing I have noticed is the camera settings. I imagine the new Nexus will be out around September/October? That's the usual time for them isn't it? Not sure who is making it though but I it will probably be what I go for when...

That was the only reason I suggested it too. The Mrs has one and she seems pretty happy with hers but she might only pick up the camera 10 times a year. I would suggest the 55-250 but the short end of it is pretty long, especially on a crop. Once you get in to photography, I'd then go for a...

One from this morning at work. Its pissing down now! Rain_ by A_Cro, on Flickr

Yeah. Get used to the camera first and then think of what you want to take pictures of as that will influence the lens decision. Did you get it from Curry's? They are throwing a tripod in at the moment for 270 I think. A few lads from work have just bought them. Edit. Reread OP. The...

​ Sunset at the old station by A_Cro, on Flickr

Sounds similar to when I done mine. Ferrari was f**ked. Lambo was nearly f**ked. Aston was mint. High speed lap in an EVO was good fun too. Looks like it was the same company that I went with last year.

Two more timelapses today. Put together in the Go Pro software and set it to 10 FPS. Not sure why but I keep getting a green bar along the bottom of the screen. Must be some setting that I am not seeing. Shot with the Canon 550 and a 50mm 1.8 (shot at F4 I think) in JPEG on a homemade motorised...

Hadn't even thought of doing that :(. Shame as I have just eaten that egg and really can't be bothered to go to the shop for more...

Very nice Niall Point of Ayr Sunset by A_Cro, on Flickr Shine by A_Cro, on Flickr

We ended up going with a Panasonic. After reading a lot of reviews, we decided on that due to the battery life being much better than what was in the price range. Does time lapse too which I will use a fair bit and full hd unlike some of the others.

Lol at it not living up to its hype. It outsold everything that was in the cinema that week and is still number one selling game five weeks later. It's a massively great game.. Started survivor plus today due to god of war suddenly not playing! Can't wait to play through it again. Trying...

Playing around in the windy garden with the Sigma 105 Flutter by A_Cro, on Flickr Common by A_Cro, on Flickr

It's supposed to be the same length as your exposures. I just chuck the lens cap on and do a 30 second one, not sure if it makes a difference if it's shorter time or not. I keep one on the computer just incase I forget to do it before I import them too. Do you use starstax? You put your...

Did you take a dark frame? I found that helps reduce any sensor noise. Looks a decent spot you went to, but going out alone with that much gear is always a bit daunting, let alone on a Friday night at an underpass! I've got another spot I want to try and I should go to that window that I...

Cheers. First off you need to find somewhere really dark. Much darker than where you could usually do star trails. Wait around 15 minutes for your eyes to adjust and then look East to South West I think. You will notice it if its dark enough. Just try not to look at any lights while you are...
