    The "Ive taken a pic and I kinda like it" thread

    Some of shots from that last couple of days Moon - Halo? by Aaron, on Flickr Turns out it was just refraction from the 14mm samyang lens and no astro phenomenon! Snow capped background by Aaron, on Flickr

    How much do you pay for Sky/Virgin?

    I have BT and pay £63 for unlimited 72mb fibre, calls and tv including BT sports. It's shocking though. Can't use the HD channels as they keep crashing so end up using the smart tv for that. Recording of two channels is decent though. Lookin at going to sky when my contract is up.

    Tripods

    I started off with this one. It used to be £25 from Tesco but can't see it there anymore. It's been everywhere with me nice and light, goes to a low level (unlike the one you linked) and is solid. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002L4ODDS/?tag=cliospnet01-21 You can hook your camera bag on too if...

    First DSLR

    Yup. Haven't shot jpeg for a long time now. All my editing is done in Lightroom too.

    First DSLR

    That is only a remote shutter though, useless for timelapse, unless you are going to time your shots manually. Should be fine for long exposure etc though although it looks like an IR remote which means you need to be in front of the camera where the IR beam is. Can't see any wired remotes...

    First DSLR

    No. Unless you want to sit there with your fingers on the shutter timing yourself, you will need an intervalometer. That's one of the issues with buying a ten year old camera though I suppose. Looking on Google, most of the links are now dead. You might not be able to do it with this model. I...

    Beginner DSLR, talk to me?

    Talk photography is a very useful site for pretty much anything photography related. Get on Flickr too and have a search for your camera body. You'll then see the images taken with it and the lenses used, gives you an idea of what it's capable of with what lens. Other than that, just get out...

    Beginner DSLR, talk to me?

    It'll be a good walkabout lens and you'll get some good landscape shots with it but it won't be super wide. Use it for a while. Get used to the camera and then have a look at other lenses. The 10-20 will be a good one for you though when you do decide to get more lenses.

    Night Sky Photography - How can I improve/what am I doing wrong?

    This was at 10mm on my old 10-20, 30 seconds, f4, iso 6400. Don't be afraid to push the iso. This was on a canon 550d in July a couple of years ago. The glow in the distance is light pollution from a fairly small town about 20 miles away. The road by Aaron, on Flickr

    Night Sky Photography - How can I improve/what am I doing wrong?

    As James says, light pollution it having an effect on your shots. The way to resolve this is by going miles away from populated areas, and I do mean miles! You have a bit of trailing in your second image, can't see the exif details because the picture is set to private but if it's 30 seconds...

    Just get out and use it. Be careful of any colour cast but that can be corrected in photoshop etc. What did you get? I have a 3 slide set, cokin p I think and on 24mm (ff) I see the holder on the edges. It was the same using it on my 10-20 on crop so you have to zoom in a bit or crop it out...

    5x or S6?

    5X then if you don't want to upsize to a 6P

    Nikon D3300 - Iceland

    Very nice set. Shame about the cloud cover though but it works in favour in some of the images. The one with the bottle, I'd have left a bit more room at the bottom if I'm being picky. Other than that, a cracking set.

    PSN issues with ps4?

    I bought some wireless headphones earlier and as soon as I set it up my network went down. Upon reading some reviews I thought it could be down to using the same frequency so I turned them off to find I was still unable to get online. Bloody technology.

    Beginner DSLR, talk to me?

    No. Unless you are only going to use it for landscapes then get the kit lens that comes with the camera. It will be more than good enough for a walk around lens and for you to start with. Wide angle. Cheap is a Sigma 10-20 for a crop body. Can get them for under £300. Wide enough with out the...

    Game you're most eagerly anticipating in 2016

    Lol. Obviously I was too excited about a load of games to read the OP properly. Out of those games I listed, probably Uncharted as they have probably been the best games on the PS, well, apart from 3 which was a little bit s**t in parts. I'm hoping this is amazing though.

    Course you can, providing they have them on display. If they don't let you then they are pretty s**t at trying to sell you something.

    Game you're most eagerly anticipating in 2016

    Uncharted 4 Tomb Raider (coming on PS4) The division Street fighter 5 Doom Ghost recon- wetlands.

    Rise of the tombraider...

    For the ps4? Definitely. One of the best games out last year imo.

    Beginner DSLR, talk to me?

    Using a 35/50 mm prime will make you a better photographer imo. You will have to learn better composition rather than just zooming. It's a good walk about lens (the 35mm will be a bit better on crop (like the cameras you are looking at) but both would be a very welcome addition to a camera bag...

    Rise of the tombraider...

    I'm really looking forward to this coming out on the ps4 next year. Hopefully the next one won't be xbone exclusive.

    Your 2015 Game of the Year

    I've just had to have a look at my trophy collection on the PS to see what games I've played this year as none are that memorable. Best: Probably Batman but the Riddler fucked me off having to find his 250 odd trophies to be able to finish the game properly, which I didn't bother with. Other...

    Photography Chat and Questions Thread

    Is it full frame? You want something fairly wide for New York, if it's FF then something like a 24-70/ 24/-105 if they do it? There was a 15-85 for Canon, maybe Nikon have an equivalent?

    Ended up getting rid of my old crop body and a couple of lenses. Walked out of the shop with a new Samyang 14mm 2.8. Full manual but there is very little distortion which is good considering the ultra wide angle.

    Can you? I'm not that clued up tbh. I remember trying to do something like that with an old photoshop but had to change registry info and a few other settings and it never actually worked for me after following instructions.

    I just youtube'd it a while back and tried the first number which worked. It could have changed now there's CC? I now pay for Lightroom and Photoshop on the monthly plan £8pm.

    Buying a Macbook

    Just spec'd it with 16gb and an i7 and it upped the price to 1409. Might wait until after Xmas to see if there are any deals on. Not desperate for one before Xmas, just that my 3 year old i5 8gb Dell is over constantly after updating to Windows 10. It's f**king useless.

    Buying a Macbook

    Bit of a bump on this. I'm considering a Pro 13", 128gb ssd, 8gb ram. After reading this thread, it seems you can't expand the memory? On the site with the tech specs, it says configurable to 16gb? Is this if you get a custom spec one or am I missing something?
