@Geddes But not Team Valley

Been looking at the chat properly from Page 1 now up too 17. Know a few more things by reading what you lot have posted for e.g. been using F22 for night pics some of you say you can drop the F number slightly to get more sharpness depends on circa anyway. Sigma 10-20 has come up quit a bit and...

Yeah will do, work on my ideas on the picture and get decent lenses. Thanks for the help people, I'm just exited that's all and rushing. I need to slow down.

I'm only getting opinions at the minute, nice to know what people think on the full fame ones. Be a good couple of years before I make a jump on getting a new one. And yes I know my pictures aren't that good compared to you lot I've still got a L plate on. Is it worth getting decent EF lenses...

Also, been looking at Amazon can get a Canon 6D for £1150 Body Only. What's peoples thoughts on the 6, the 5 is too much money for me.

Just looked at this, you lot might see me at the bridge i was going over there anyway. I'm heading to Newcastle in the morning to get my DSLR sensor cleaned cos of dirt then i'm heading over to Newbiggin by the Sea around mid day then back over to Mellenium Bridge Gateshead side for night shots.

Thanks will do, so down the line is full frame cameras the way to go say 5D? just got the 50mm 1.8 the other day, nah haven't got a zoom yet. Lass from class has let me borrow her zoom. I'm off to Newcastle tomorrow get my camera repaired looks like I may have dirt on the sensor again, dots on...

After having my Canon 500D now close to 5 years and starting to get more confident with the settings, I'm thinking more now about getting an upgrade and sell mine on. Was thinking of getting the Canon 750/760 which is near my price range or push further and get the Canon 70D. What are people's...

Just got the 50mm lens delivered today, haven't had a play about with it yet. Also picked up the Hama tripod, got a bit frustrated with the ball type moving compared to my old type which didn't have this type, do you get use to it pretty quickly? I did use it in the dark like

the Manfrotto looks nice but way above my price, went for the one you suggested was £45 on Amazon same one too.

Spot on that, just been doing some night car trails on a bridge and the railing was just in focus at the bottom so had to adjust. I'll get that ordered soon, which one you upgrading too Aaron? Is Hama still the ones to go for for tripods still?

Been using my tripod a little recently and I've knacked it, there's a handle where you can turn to raise the height of the base where the camera sits. It's a Hama basic one, also it's a little low on height i got to bend down to look at the screen. Is there any recommendations on a newer Hama or...

Yeah been a fair few times where i needed that extra zoom like. I've got no idea on what sites/shops at a good price to get the lenses from other than Amazon, i much prefer to get new (just the way i am) There's no specific area we need to photo on Flash Aaron could be anything. it's the last...

I've ordered it now, arriving Tuesday. I'm following you on Flickr can you tell what sort of lenses i need by what i've posted up on there? Need to do homework on Flash for next weeks course, no idea what to photograph. I want to visit a local park Hardwick Hall this weekend with my tripod and...

I've heard of Sigma before and i know Jessops are doing Tamron too. And i've seen Tamron in mago too. Bought my first mag Photography Digital DSLR and a 2 days ago bought Practical Photography which seems my type of mag for beginners. Infact i'm on Amazon now and Canon UK looking at lenses and...

One guy at Jessops said the same thing and a lad at work did too. Get a better lens not a camera body. I've never heard of Tamron is it better or worse or the same as Canon/Nikon? The one i posted is that an old model or what? Another thing i'm not sure on is on Flickr i can see people taking...

Finally got time to post this up, my Canon camera takes a EF-S lens and been looking to purchase my fisrt new lens. Been looking at this one as i need something to zoom out more. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EP71ETU/?tag=cliospnet01-21 I tend to photograph a bit of everything so far...

Went out with my camera again this weekend, starting getting use to the settings a little. Starting to enjoy it like, I've posted up some pics on Flickr on on the other thread. Nothing great as only a noob but more practice I'll get there

End of January now, still would like this to happen, any more interest in this? Just need a good date to set and go from there. I think Liverpool is still a good shout.

I'll be using my original Flickr account https://www.flickr.com/photos/markgeddes7/ there are 4 new pics on there taken a few days ago, they were taken in RAW but they've darkened a bit putting them into JPEG no idea why that happened. Thoughts on the pictures?

Been told we should be using AV mode for a while, also i've been shooting in RAW and haven't found it easy to settle into e.g. trying to get them onto Flickr. I believe i need to get them into jpeg but no idea how too. Since i'm kind of new to this photography i might go back to using jpeg as...

Managed to log into my old account thought i deleted it. If any of you lot still have it. I might just carry on on this account even though i started a new account the other day. Hmmmm Here is my old account still https://www.flickr.com/photos/markgeddes7/

It was just a thought, nothing in particular just to make the pic sharper, glossy sort of thing. I know when i look at the other thread "I like it thread" you can tell they been edited. In class we've been told to use this function as all of us haven't used it before and yesterday was the first...

Yeah this weeks honework is Composition, need to take some shots using Exposure Compensation too. Been down to a local park before dark settled in shooting away. Be down to another park tomorrow too. Just got my hands on Photoshop Elements, what basic steps can I use to enhance my pics?

New account as struggling to fully access old one due to Yahoo malarky https://www.flickr.com/photos/130878225@N05/ nothing on it yet like but time will tell

Think the 1200D would be a ideal starting DSLR, it does seem a good spec for price. I'm doing a course and this weeks homework is Composition, what will I need to look for as a noob?

Awesome, thanks for the help

Yeah seems to be cheaper than Amazon on that. Going to show the 500D to my Dad see what he thinks on that style of camera. He's normally used to the smaller cameras. Just a curios question how much second had would a 500D be, i could ask him he could have mine and i could get a new upgrade
