Cheers guys. Will have a look at some other crop options when I'm back on the laptop later :)

Nope. Didnt make any saves like a dick! I was also spending a s**t load of money before the assassination missions and I didn't get the most out of my final heist I dont think. I was just lazy with one of the missions, I didn't let the stock go up enough and withdrew pretty quick, and missed...

Finish the game completely, let the credits roll. I've finished the game and all of the assassination missions this morning. Got about 120 mil with each carachter now. Cocked up one of the assassination mission investments.

Oh the 10-20 is a much better all round lens but it's 2-3 times the price so it's a bit of a compromise. You have a bit of zoom with it, are able to fit filters to it and it's got auto focus although that's not really an issue with most things you'd shoot IMO. The fisheye is fixed, no...

Manual focus and aperture settings (although most shots will be fine with infinity focus) If you put it on a full frame, you will see a big black ring on the outside of the frame. This is taken on a 550d (1.6 crop) so no black edges (if that's what you mean as fish eye/ normal?) Liverpool...

Do it. Its an amazing lens for the money Will almost definitely be my next purchase :)

My mate got one of these, was with him within 3 days! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Opteka-6-5mm-f-3-5-Manual-Focus-Fisheye-Lens-for-Canon-EOS-Open-Box-/190817761315?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item2c6d9ff823

The Opteka is a 6.5mm, full manual lens but its pretty easy to get to grips with. Had a play of my mates the other day (some pics in my Liverpool thread) Samyang also make cheap fish eyes too. The 10-20 is a fairly cheap lens in terms of wide angle, and got the best reviews when compared to...

Canon 55-250 ISII. You'll find it for under that if you have a look online. Brilliant lens for the money. Unless you want to go wide, then there are Opteka fisheye's for around that price (maybe a bit more, depending if you get stung on import tax), from America.

For those who watched Breaking bad...

I have just started the mission where you can choose between the fire engine and the helicopter route. I've opted for the fire engine but got side tracked with a Tracey mission while I was storing a getaway car. Hopefully I'll finish work handy to put some hours in to it later.

I had a play with the Xperia Z1 the other day and it looks a very good phone. The camera (as with most Sony offerings is superb) My missus has an Xperia S and she loves it. I'm just not overly keen on the Sony interface, although I could flash it. I'll be looking properly around Xmas as much...

Cheers, Ben. The ice cream van was lovely in the flesh. It's usually on the Albert Dock if you are there again. I had to keep it in colour. I just wish that you could fit a ten stop filter on a fish eye. Definitely my next lens!

If you haven't found one yet, look on Dell but at their business section. I got an i5, 500gb drive, 4gb ram for under 400 with delivery. I then bought another 4gb memory online and fitted it myself as it was much cheaper than upgrading through Dell. Not had any problems with mine so...

Nice. Well if you are on NH, you will almost certainly be on my boat.

Cheers. North Hoyle still, back home now. Weather day! You still in Mostyn?

Cheers Tom. It was very yellow from memory but it could probably be toned down a bit. Plus, it's not the sharpest as I had wedged my camera in to one of the slots on the cathedral walls as I couldn't use my tripod up there. I'll have another look when I get back on the laptop.

Cheers guys. I could spend days there. One of the best places for architecture in the UK IMO.

Had planned this visit for a while and usually, when I plan to go somewhere, the weather decides to dick around. This time though we were pretty lucky. No rain but pretty cold, strong winds. I'd seen a shot that I wanted to try but the building that I wanted to shoot was full of scaffolding...

Don't bother the 50mm. It's too long and trying to get infinity focus with it is pretty tricky. I've has some results at 1600 iso. F3.5 and 30 seconds. The noise does come in though quite noticeably after 3200. Have a look at some apps as they will point you in the right direction for...

My mate has just picked up an 8mm fish eye which I'll have a play with on Thursday. Got a full day and some of the evening in Liverpool planned.

I'm the same from looking at Flickr. I do have an idea which I've tried recently without success, so if I can nail that then I might have something.

Went over to Blackpool yesterday. Didn't take my tripod with me as I wasn't going to do much photography. Taken off Facebook as my Flickr is playing up, hence the drop in IQ. I've got more to go up on Flickr which I'll try to get up tonight.

I would have tried a birds eye view personally, maybe slightly angled towards the hole. Would have also put it on a wooden bread board with maybe a cake knife to the side and not had a plate. Or maybe a cake stand and somehow made the smarties fall on to the board (like a waterfall) somehow...

I still can't even download the beta at the moment. Tried last night and was greeted with a system update, which afterwards, wouldn't let me sign in for a good hour, and when I did eventually get on, the PSN store kept crashing. Tried again this morning, got on the store, found the beta...

I'm such a tard today. Read title as chester zoo. Still, great photos!

Nice. Love the Red Panda shots. I need to make another trip there again soon.

I replied a long post. My phone wouldn't post it so in short,.. Try what TEG said. If you have trouble with that, then maybe invest in a 50mm prime and crop it. If you don't like that, then try a Sigma 105mm macro. Very good lens. Probably OTT for your needs though. Oh and as for the link...

I've just had an email saying the beta is available. Hopefully I'll manage to get on when I'm home and get it downloaded while I'm out tonight.
