Compression by Brazo76, on Flickr

Its the highest scoring full frame camera on www.dpreview.com and a snip at just over a grand from panamoz.

I would expose for the sky as that won't give you the typical 'black' sky you so often see in night shots. The buildings may overexpose but certaintly won't blow and will be more than saveable in PP (shoot raw), and then do as Dan suggests for the windows which will blow. Hell try it all and...

Bully as Dan says exposure once for the shadows and once for the highlights and blend them. Use a remote or 10 sec timer, mirror lock up, manually focus for accuracy. Dan what is the x100s? I know what the x100 is, meh can't wait gonna Google!

Title edited lol! Made Explore today with this one.

Just bought some sensor swabs from Amazon, will give it a go tomorrow if I can be arsed!

Thanks mate, yeah may rotate the toothbrush one the proper way around but then they are no longer toothbrushes:( Spot the bike;) Bicycle by Brazo76, on Flickr

One from the RX100 Lotus by Brazo76, on Flickr

Neither ram or an ssd will help*. I have 8 gigs of ram and an ssd using a laptop with an i3 processor and a Nvidia M330 graphics card with 1gb of ram. It struggles with 12 bit 24 meg raw files so 14 bit 36 meg raw files would be too much, at least for me. I find its the processor that does all...

Yes like an old porsche the price of a D800 is deceptively cheap. Once you factor in the latest computer and the best fx lenses (anything else won't do the sensor the justice it deserves!) your looking at a hefty price tag. that said if you have the readies I do acknowledge its the best out...

Don't forget a new pc with the d800 raw files! I too am considering a full frame upgrade and the d600 and a nice suite of fx lenses would suit me very well and won't break the bank but the lack of articulated screen always drives me back to Sony!

Will do ukaskew, do you still have your full-frame gear?

Great thread idea. Haven't been out with the weather being so wet but got some nice bokeh family shots at Xmas with my new 35mm 1.8. Also bought a Sony RX100 as a carry everywhere cam but not yet used in anger.

The 7D is built like a tank, holding one makes you want one!

I often use an nd grad to expose the watery reflection better but you need to watch the highlights too with this method!

??? Most offer excellent value performance, ignoring the dirt cheap ones. The new Tamron 35 f1.4 is a good chunk better than the best Canon/Nikon/Sony versions.

Bit of a bargain mate, to clarify did you get the 18-200 working by cleaning the contacts?

^^TBH I was surprised when this thread was posted in the photography forum and not off topic ;)

ENTRY Space Station by Brazo76, on Flickr

Thanks, just logged on and got 3 months

I did a gcse in photography about, 20 years ago! Whilst any course won't teach you how to take great pictures it does help you get the basics right. What I learnt about f stops, iso and shutter was invaluable. I see many good compositions by people on here but it's clear they don't really...

Great shot Dan @Cliotoby, mate its kind of an unwritten rule in people photography that you critique the photo rather than the model:)

Well composed and perfectly lit portrait Sam. Took this last night with a camera the size of a fag packet! Winter Wonderland by Brazo76, on Flickr

50mm is 75mm on a crop body, so unless you have fullframe go for a 35mm on a crop body, which is the old nifty fifty in 'new money'.

You poor sod, do you have a paypal address where we can all donate to you ;)

Theres some really nice FHM (does that still exist!) style shots there jay but also some lower rent ones which don't do the models any favours. Also I would pay more attention to back grounds and removal of all unnecessary objects, for example the Christmas tree shot has the tangled wires...

Thats a lovely shot Nick but run it through lightroom to remove chromatic abrasion (purple fringing) on the robins beak.

Post them up mate, only way to learn!

So did a little test at f32 and :o Just shows how wrong you can be! Will purchase a cleaning kit off Amazon. Cheers!

Ok guys will try it! Thanks.
