    Complete begginer - Nikon D40?

    I'd go for the sony A200 kit over the D40/D60.

    What DSLR!

    the sony A200 is a better package than the base nikon units and people will out grow it very quickly or get annoyed at the lack of the internal focus if they want to spend more on lenses. you are far better off buying a decent camera to start with. I bought a 300D many moons ago when I first...

    What DSLR!

    no MLU, can't AF with loads of nikon lenses, can't shoot raw and large jpeg, can't get metering with older nonCPU lenses, only 3 AF points, poor raw buffer, no nikon grip option, poor supplied software not BS if you ask me

    What DSLR!

    I'd not bother with the D40 or D60 they are too functionally disabled.

    Is this picture unexposed?

    it is a dark picture but wither its under exposed is personal choice the problem would be is if you made it more exposed (longer shutter or larger aperture) then your highlights will blow. shooting dark and bright objects in the same frame will always have that problem. use a small amount...

    40d opening RAW files

    shoot raw + small jpeg that way you can see what you like then edit in photoshop. the slowness for opening the RAW is down to your computer being slow. download the latest RAW plug in 4.6 I think it is too

    what camera? if Adobe support your camera in CS3 then download the latest camera RAW file if not then you'll have to purchase CS4
  15. V

    wot is raw?

    assuming the camera RAW file in CS2 supposrts it. when I got my 40D I had to get CS3 to use the RAW converter because Adobe stopped supporting CS2 so never updated the file.

    wot is raw?

    actually it is. RAW images have less noise and IQ than an incamera jpeg.

    Which tripod?

    pretty much all cheap tripods are the same interms of quality. you want a tripod that is actually sturdy and easy to adjust both for the pod itsself and the camera. you don't want somthing that will get blown over but likewise you don't want somthing silly heavy. Cheaper ones also come...

    Want your car photographing?

    if you hang the mount from the roof and look up its easier to clone out. IMHO you're much better off learning how to shoot static shots first particularly as rig shots not as easy to so as they seem, they need the same compositional skills.

    Want your car photographing?

    its a rig shot. pole attached to car, camera attached to pole, push car 1-2s exposure then clone out rig.

    Step down rings?!

    58mm is the filter thread, the lens mount (EOS EF) will be the same to fit it to the camera. Does the fisheye screw into the filter thread on the lens?
  24. V

    Step down rings?!

    eh? the lens mount will be the same, the lens filter ring may be different. step down 77mm ring 72mm filter step up 72mm filter 77mm ring get them from http://www.surreyphotography.co.uk

    what camera do you use to take your pics?

    Got a canon 40D with canon efs 10-22, canon efs 17-55 f2.8 IS, canon 135mm f2. L, sigma 10mm f2.8 fisheye, sigma 50mm f1.4, sigma 1.4x TC. if you are on a very tight budget look at the sony A200 18-70 kit which comes in at under £300.

    Jessops Sale

    it will work. the canon version don't work with the sigma 70-200 though lol the only reason my TCs don't work is they protrude too much so can't actually physically lock onto the lens

    10mm fisheye will have around 180 degree FOV on a DX sensor, a 10mm rectilinear lens has a FOV about 102 degrees on a DX sensor

    Ultra Wide Angle users...

    generally I will use my 10-22 at the wider end but it depends on what I'm shooting as it picture may frame better with a longer focal length.
