    Are you quoting the .jpg ?

    First attempt at light trails

    You'll need a tripod for anything over about 1/10 really, unless you're amazingly steady. Night pictures will normally always be >1sec so tripod or solid rest and remote/2sec timer is needed to avoid shake !

    Few Qs for experienced people :)

    Stupid question, but the light trails... are you doing this an hour or two after the sun has set, or during your lunch break ? Batteries.. no idea, I use the Canon battery in my 7D. I used to have a Fuji Bridge, and don't remember how often it ate them. I used high powered rechargables...

    13 inch vs 15 inch

    If I was to only have one Apple, it'd be a 15" MBP. The 13" feels much larger than it should though. Go play with them in the Apple store.

    dslr newbie

    Cheap doesn't normally come into play with D-SLRs ! Looks like £330 is the best with 10 seconds on google: http://www.onestop-digital.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=33644

    Which Clio 182???

    What do you mean by 'best' for your money ? Everyone's got a different idea what best is .. a £1200 ph1 is no different to a £8k Trophy in terms of power / reliability / speed / handling. They're all French hatchbacks. It's not like you're comparing a 316i to an ///M3 for instance...

    August photography competition - theme suggestions

    So boobs it is ? Or what... come on guys, lets choose something fun ! I think light painting, as it involves skill with a camera but needs a bit of artistic flare too, with a good imagination obviously.

    dslr newbie

    You don't need an expensive camera to get good shots. You just need to know what to do with it ! Practice, practise, practise !!! Learn what changing the aperture and shutter speed do to the image. White balance makes a huge difference too. Composition, and rule of thirds are important...

    Windscreen waxy and greasy

    SRP isn't a polish flol!!! AG glass polish will do. Fast glass will need a couple of goes to get rid of most traffic film. Most importantly - Clean your blades .. failing that, change your blades.

    snow tyres

    4WD is defo better than FWD in the snow/ice. Not sure how I'd have got on without the Scoob last year TBH. My unmade hill of a road was just ice. Sash's Clio didn't go anywhere, neither did housemates //M. Scoob was unbothered by snow, slush, ice etc. Sideways on command too :D Stopping...

    snow tyres

    ^ Clios only put out 172PS (if they have that!) at ~6500 RPM. No weight over the front wheels !? Is your engine in the boot ? Traction control is not needed in anything under 400HP+RWD, ever. Throttle control is much better.

    Shooting Fireworks

    If you've got a remote, leave it open for a few minutes ! Or get StarStax and stack 20-30 second images to save light pollution ruining the shot.

    snow tyres

    Winter tyres work well under 7 degrees Celsius... They'll be shot before September if you buy them now or you'll have put the car in a hedge as they don't work when it's warm.

    172 vs 182

    FLOL .. can of worms opened .. possibly thread no. 1,000,000 on the same subject ? MotQ's .. LMFAO .. imagine how manly you'd feel with an ///M3 :evil: I'm presuming you're saving up as you're not looking to buy one tomorrow..? Factor in comedy insurance, servicing and things that might...

    Want to make my clio look better

    I am getting old. I'll openly admit that. Generally, as proven on here most weeks, people take a smart looking standard car, and wreck it with tints, badly painted wheels, awful lights, bonnet lifters, slam it on its arse so it's un-drivable, and then wonder why they get ripped to shreds on...
