I love nosing around places like that. Did you have some sort of wide angle filter for the last couple of images? They looks a bit distorted...

Clean images at 1600. Any PP done for noise reduction or is the MkIII just that good. :D

It looks like a mini Espace from the front. Much prefer it to the standard frog eye look. Good effort.

rainmeter?

Yep, got a pinkish tint to it on the big screen too. :D

Yep, just not as tomato red as in the other shots. I'll take a 2nd look on the pc screen later, it may be competely different.

Awesome location and shots. The red on number two looks off, it could just be my phone screen though.

It is actually to do with pixel density and sensor size. A crop camera only uses the centre portion of the image coming through the lens, but the pixels on the sensor that it hits are more dense than those on a full frame. In terms of pixels, the resulting image is 1.6 x closer to the...

Yep, the 16-35 shots are some of the nicest. What lighting set up are you using?

yeah, the 2.8 IS is a bit of a tank, the photos make it worth it. :) I also find the 200mm a bit short, especially on full frame, but have got away with it by cropping into the images so far. I am going to borrow a 2x converter soon to see how badly it affects the images. The only time I...

Fantastic value for money. I loved mine and have never heard a bad word against them. I had a hard time choosing between the f4 & f2.8, but an extra stop at 200mm is worth having for me so I got the 2.8.

Lol, cheers. Beer & boredom. :)

I have the 430 mkI and it makes a huge difference over the built in flash. I'd definitely recomend the MkII. The 50mm will let you play with narrow DOF, at a focal length that is suited to portraits but can be used for everything. Have a search on flickr for 50/50 or 50mm groups and you'll see...

This one: http://www.sandisk.co.uk/Products/Item(1145)-SDDR-89-E15-SanDisk_ImageMate12in1_ReaderWriter.aspx

I have a Sandisk one and it is fast enough. I had a cheapo version first in the belief that there would not be a difference, but the sandisk one is three times faster.

Welcome. Glad to be of service. :)

Peanuts. The 20 has a tiny screen, it's not great at high ISO and you'd be better off saving up for a while to get a 40/50D instead IMHO. The 20 really is old technology now.

You'll have to excuse the quality, I have had a couple of beers. :D Its not very scientific as I couldn't be bothered with measuring tapes etc, but I have taken a couple of shots and put them together. 1,2 & 3 were all shot on a tripod from the same spot. The focal length changes, as does the...

Huge difference. At the wide end, there is a much wider DOF than at the long end. I'll post some pics to show you in a bit. It's all related to the perspective that you have on the subject and the relative distances.

What OS are you using?

f2.8 - f4 is only one stop. = 1/60 instead of 1/30. Not a huge difference TBH. A lot of urbex photographers tend to take tripods with them as the light is always bad in disused places anyway (AFAIK).

I'd get a 430EXII or something similar, then some cheap radio triggers from ebay (<£15). It would help you take decent shots of your scale models. Any lens for £240 will not be much better for your purposes than the kit lens.

Deathadder all the way. I have no need for wireless keyboards and mice. I'm still on a Habu, but might chop it in for a Deathadder soon.

Lightroom will preview them. You can edit straight into Photoshop if you want to too.

That Aston belongs to Wee Mans (off here) dad doesn't it?

LOL, I'll pass for the time being. ;)

The pictures blew me away to be honest. I hardly had to do any PP, the colours, contrast and sharpness were just spot out straight out of the camera. I used to dislike looking at 100% crops from my 40D, but these are just as sharp at 100% than they are at normal resolution. No regrets on...

I missed this. Some nice shots in here. Greg, some of yours may benefit from a slightly tighter crop on the rider IMHO. I was asked to do a shoot for the local club the other evening so I went along to try out my new lens. I had a go with some off camera flash too...

Its supposed to be almost prime like in quality. 11-16 is not a huge range but it all depends on whether you need the 2.8 or not. Build quality of the Tokinas is very very good.

You can upload the fullsize image to Flickr and just link the sized down image to it. For screen, they don't need to be bigger than 1024px really.
