Amazing work! Some shots to be proud of, there... What setup did you use - equipment, aperture, exposure times etc?

getting some next thursday. Will take some comparison photos with and without on a 100mm macro

Knockout photos from everyone! Amazing work. That's it, my saving for a 100-400 has now begun :-)

Late second entry. It was all in my kitchen this lunchtime so I guess it counts. Could have made it symmetrical using the warp tool, but against the spirit of the competition I guess...

In my builds I always used to get the cheapest PSU that would do, I thought that it didnt matter. Major mistake. By chance I had to buy an expensive quiet one by necessity and the difference is mind blowing. The whole system is now almost silent like a laptop! The loudest thing is the disk...

Just to resurrect this thread. Is anyone else able to get into their BIOS on a PC using an Apple keyboard. I don't seem to be able to, and currently have to keep my OS2 keyboard plugged in too, which is a PITA. Strangely, once I get in to the BIOS, the Apple's up and down cursor keys work...

Pyramids of Giza in my Kitchen... My kitchen is dull - but Egypt isn't!

How long is this on for? I need to wait until I happen to be cooking sausages for tea!!

Been messing around myself. This is the first time I've got something that really worked rather than just looked like all the contrast had been knocked out of it. The secret is in finding a scene that has extremely bright and dark areas. There's not really much point in a normal dull daylight...

This idea spread far and wide. My GF liked it so much she had a go too! (And yes, I am a webdesigner!)... The competition sounds like a fun idea, too!

It took well over 500 shots, but I got some OK ones at the end. A flash is absolutely essential in this weather. I was on M mode, 200th/sec exposure f10 with flash. This one was using a 100mm Canon macro. Thanks so much again for this idea, used up a rainy Sunday perfectly!

This looks brilliant. I've been moping around with my camera outside in the rain with my new Macro lens and found sod all, it's just soo murky. These shots are tremendous - what lens and settings did you use? Thanks! Steve Edit: I should read more carefully! I have a 50mm 1.8f but I'll try my...

I'd absolutely stick to using auctions. The sheer quantity and quality of traffic it drives towards your sales will far outstrip any loss due to ebay and paypal fees. Making a shop and putting it online is not going to produce any meaningful traffic, and even heavy optimisation for popular...

Does anyone know of any sites that stream movies?! Of course I couldnt possibly mean commercial ones! As if. I'll reply back thanking anyone at all who could help me out by PMing me a URL?! I know this is a miserable begging thread, but I know you guys can come up trumps!! Thanks! Steve

Www.play.com under the bluray tab show upcoming releases and charts,too.

The other day I needed one, and must have gone through five different programs. Only one did not just well, but AMAZINGLY well. That was Badcopy Pro. It's out there if you look for it. Good luck!

Ok, so before I plonk down my grand for the IPhone, I just wondered what areas the Edge network covers in the UK? The last thing I need is to sign up and find my whole area is a blank! Does anyone know of any maps or anything? Thanks for any help!

Hi Guys, Wonder if anyone can help with this problem? My brother has a Nano and Itunes, but today for a friend we plugged in a new Ipod Touch and put some of the songs across from his Itunes onto the new Touch. Seems fine except now when you use the Touch's Itunes store button it seems to be...

Well I have no personal experience, but from what I have extensively read, you certainly can unlock it using older firmware, and you *don't* have to upgrade to the new firmware. You can happily keep it on the old one. There's a new jailbreak out for the new firmware now anyhow. And Apple are...

Nah, my old man has one. The thing just does my head in! The keyboard I'll take though... Oh Sambo - can u post if you find this Apple keys things, cos I havent been able to as yet...

Ah superb - definite Xmas present material!

Gotta say I love the look of the new Mac keyboards, are they just USB, so they would work on a PC, too? Thanks!

Thanks! :-)

I have both, and I'd say that while the PS3 probably has greater potential given time, the overall user experience of the 360 is probably a better one right now.

Im just weighing up my options here! The O2 tariff is ass-rapeage! Has anyone got an unlocked one who can confirm that the email and web surfing all work without a hitch when connected wirelessly, rather than through EDGE? If they do, I know which way my money will be going :-)

Excellent thanks for the help :-) *edit* Oh we are talking about the 3rd generation right? I just noticed the Apple.com site says USB2 is a requirement?

Tried these guys? I've used them for years and they're really helpful if you give them a ring, too! http://www.refilltoner.com/ Oh as an aside to this. If you do get a new laser I'd recommmend an OKI for a similar reason - the cartridges are dead easy to pop open and refill! ;-)

Does anyone know if the Ipod Nano works with USB1? Obviously glacially slowy, but would it? Thanks!

Hi! My problem is that the A/C and even blower stink when I put them on! Now I reckon it's probably mould or mildew somewhere in the system. Does anyone know of anyway to really crack this problem, or even what sort of specialist might be able to help me with it? Any help would be really...

I have a Canon 50mm f/1.8. Does extension tubes mean this can do better macro shots? :-S Lenses are confusing! Also could someone explain to me how come a macro lense can be used in a pinch as a portrait lense, but a portrait lense can't be used as a macro? (Or can it?!)
