Looking forward to seeing the shots

Image stabilisation off. Try turning on mirror lock to reduce any more movement (although it won't make much of a difference) How sturdy is your tripod? If it's a £10 special then it will be useless in anything more than a fart of wind. Shoot f8+ and I'd look through live view and manual...

One from a visit Surf Snowdonia today. Need a longer lens! ThirtyEight/FiftyTwo - Surf by Aaron, on Flickr

Even with bad weather you should be able to get some decent shots. Have a good trip. Look forward to seeing your shots.

Last minute decision to grab sunset tonight. ThirtySix/FiftyTwo - Sundown by Aaron, on Flickr

Nice Matt. I've looked at free lensing recently. I've been trying to get ideas as me and the wife are shooting a wedding in December for a friend. I'm hoping the weather is decent but with some snow as it's at a castle. Just need to practice some flash shots as the day light will be minimal.

I don't think I'll bother with 1-3. I've just got Hardline, Star wars is due soon and there will be other games to keep me going until the new one comes out. Plus, I replayed them all last year on the PS3. Won't be that much of a change to the originals for me to play them again imo

Killzone 2 Modern warfare 2 The original Street fighter. Where there were 8 fighters instead of 74. The same with Mortal Kombat.

Megaman is on the PS store now. All games for £11.99 I think.

Yeah really nice editing there CJ. I'll check the rest of the album later

I agree it's really nice. The only thing I'm not keen on is the lights, would probably prefer them without the star burst effect.

I can't believe it's still £40 for premium. I got the game and premium for £40 iirc in a playstation sale but I think it was when Hardline was close to release.

That's another nice one Mark. You'll need a dull day where there's no definition between the horizon. Misty days work really well, or just grey days.

Yeah you have to be careful when doubling up. I've wasted 10 minutes on a 20 stop and it turned out black still. Never recovered anything from it. Sunrise is pretty unpredictable so you just have to go out and take the gamble. I've been out loads and not got anything from it. Least if you have a...

Nice that. I'd try and get down again for sunrise one morning when it's high tide and calm, Would get good long exposures there and possibly the reflection like you have on a small patch of the water.

This is just Lightroom. I should probably nip into photoshop and lighten the base of the turbine. Might do that in the future though. Before and after by Aaron, on Flickr

Everything looks alright I think from the exif. You haven't got a filter on there have you @eugegall? That could throw things off. Did you buy new or second hand? Shoot using AV at 10mm f/4. Then TV at 1/125th. Make sure iso is on auto. Then try each of the scene modes and full auto. All on...

@Geddes I just go by what looks right for white balance if I don't have anything to go from. You should try to find Lightroom 4. It will run on your pc, maybe a bit slow but it should work. The good thing about lightroom is that it is a non destructive programme, so you can go back to the...

I never noticed the noise on mine until this week when we changed furniture. It was sat on a big open TV unit and it was fine. Now it's in a fairly enclosed unit and making a right noise, think I'll have to shift it and sit it behind the TV on top of the unit.

This was a very short star trail. I really should have kept it going but I wasn't keen from. The preview on the screen. 36 lots of 10 seconds at f2.8 iso 8000. Pen Yr Ole Wen short trail by Aaron, on Flickr

Definitely the editing. The only reason I moved from my 550 was I predominantly shoot night time and the iso handling on the 6d is superb compared to the 550, plus my 17-35 would actually be that rather than 28-50 or whatever it works out as on crop. Spend a bit longer on your editing. I...

Correct. The sky won't be as dark as the glow from the moon will wash a lot out. Shorter exposures should do the trick. 10-20 seconds should be OK if 30 is too bright.

Moon is near enough full tonight @Geddes so be careful with your exposures if you are getting it in the frame. I usually Tey to shoot with it behind me as it will illuminate the foreground (location dependant of course)

If you want to send me a memory stick with copies of the ones you want done the most then pm me and I'll try and get something sorted for you. I'm going to be sat in a hospital for the next week or so so I'll have time.

After a quick look, it seems that this lens doesn't suffer distortion as bad as the offerings from sigma. Might be a good, cheap lens to go for then.

They might do but external flashes can be had super cheap, like £30 which will be fine for that. With cheap wide angles, the barrel distortion isn't corrected, so vertical lines aren't really vertical, they go in towards the center at the top. The expensive Canon wide angle lenses are...

I haven't used it but if he's using a crop body then it should be OK. It'll be wide enough for interior shots but I'm not sure what the distortion will be like but it might not matter to him, and could always be corrected in Lightroom if need be. If you are using a flash, you will need an off...

Yeah apparently as it's a J series, it's not available just yet but will be soon via a system update, might be the same for the catch up apps. Are you using it to record? Do you just stick an external hard drive in the USB? Something I haven't looked at yet. Seems a decent TV for the price...

Tbh, this should be the first thing people see when they come into the photography section. @Geddes went on a course and had some luck with that. I learnt by using the camera and looking on Flickr at images I wanted to replicate so checking exif info etc and trial and error. YouTube is...

Cheers mate. Already have the 550 set aside for him if I don't sell it. He'll have a camera before most things though. More progress made today too. Looks like we might be going to stay at the hospital this week to get him feeding properly overnight before he can come home. I've managed a...
