I remember reading an interview with a guy who worked for TVR/ owned this. He said that driving through traffic meant leaving the door open as it got so hot inside from the engine. Would love to have a ride in one though!

Good macro... I guess they tell you not to shine lasers in peoples eyes for good reason then!!!

Can you tell I was bored? :D I can never be arsed to do much PP on my own photos but it is fun playing with other peoples.

I moved the car to make it central. I really like this shot!

Nice! I gave you your sky back as it was a bit blown out. and with a "Top Gear" vignette

Would love to see a similar shot with the whole car.....

Gimp is also free. Using a trial of photoshop would be a good call though.

Pity it wasn't clean! Love the lighting.

Whats going on with all of the marks though? Do you have dirt on the lens?

Have fun! I had a play with a mates A100 and it was a nice camera. He can take cracking shots with it too.

valid point on the weather sealing. If I could afford both, I would go for the f2.8.

If you can stretch to it, I would go for the IS. It is weather sealed too which is a bonus! I think the IS on the 70-200's allows for horizontal panning too, it just reduces vertical movement.

Gorgeous car but f**k driving a 200K car around third party for a laugh.

I honestly couldn't say as I have no experience with them but a no brand company is not going to be using good quality glass. The nikon branded converter is around 100 pounds more so it is probably a case of you get what you pay for.

Nope. A lens is not high def. I would be dubious about the quality of pics you will get from the non Nikon branded tele-tube thing TBH.

Very nice.

You don't need to be a pro to use a good camera... but it depends on how far your want to take it. If you are going to get serious about taking shots, then you will always find yourself wanting some of the features of the higher models if you get the base camera first. If you are not sure, get...

Should be possible to save the difference over a couple of months then? The extra features of the D300 makes it worth the wait IMHO.

Their price just dropped 300 Euros here....their cant be much difference between the D200 and D300 in price surely? Or are you looking at second hand?

I have used the D300 and would have had it over the 40D any day if I could have stretched to it and sold all my old kit. My advise, save up a bit longer and get the D300... it is a fantastic piece of kit.

Yep. Its the sort of shot that would be at home in a corporate brochure or some marketing blurb.

I can relate to that... I am ashamed to say that I get better results setting the camera to take B&W photos than doing it in PP. Nice shots above though, very fitting with the classic cars. The composition of the second one makes it best of the bunch.

Cheers matey, appreciate it. Borrowed the inspiration from you for a self portrait though. ;)

28mm is not that wide on a crop camera. The 17mm lenses are the newer versions of a walkabout for canon. as they offer the same range as the 28-135 did on a 35mm film SLR. (The XXXD, XXD have a crop factor of 1.6x) 17mm x 1.6 = 27.2mm 85mm x 1.6 = 136mm. It depends if you use the wide end of...

£10 less, not ten times less. ;) Canon 50 f1.8 = £50-£80 B&W CPL = £35-£90. You can get cheaper filters of course which makes it more worth doing..... but then you get arguments about quality etc etc.

Right click on the icon in the taskbar and select "close" to turn them off. Type "sidebar" in the search/ run bar in the start menu for it to pop up again.

We are talking about a nifty fifty..... from the prices I had seen, a CPL was only 10 quid less than the lens.

I finally got around to taking some snaps. Two stood out so here they are: 1) and my entry: 2)

The IS is also very handy to have.
