<p>Hmmm... Fair enough... I've always quite enjoyed this photo. Would it be possible to recreate this effect, or would it have to be in front of a heavily reflective surface (sea, windowed building etc.)?</p>

<p>I did wonder that but I think I mostly shot on Green Box that day (my very first film... Ah memories!)<br />It probably is that, but was confused because the sea is very brightly lit in the centre, but I just suppose that's because there was such a huge concentration of light on that area.</p>

<p>I shot this photo on a sunny day (which was both clear and overcast throughout the day but I'm sure it was clear when I took it), with my EOS 1000FN and a Sigma 35-70mm, on some basic Kodak film. I'm wondering how on earth this effect was achieved as I really have no idea...</p>

<p>I was just wondering, with the 400D's 27 jpeg limit on continuous shooting, why is it that I've recorded over 50 continuous shots before with my 400D? Is this merely because the memory card was accepting the images quickly enough to just keep shooting?<br>

Cheers,<br />Elliot.</p>

<p>If you're lucky and you fancy importing, Jessops of GB were selling 5Ds brand new for 880GBP and we managed to buy one and sell it for 1100.</p>

<p>Oh dear.<br>

They had a 400D.<br>

I bought it on impulse. Then I bought the Tamron. Damn my unrestrained nonsense!</p>

<p>Thanks for the help people :) <br>

Maybe I'll (instead of spending that extra £100) get the 450D w/kit with the spare money then? What do you think?<br>

Also how does the 1000D compare to the 450D and the Sony in the opinions of the Photo.net people?<br>

Cheers<br />Elliot.</p>

<p>Hi all,<br>

This lens is being offered as part of a bundle with my new camera from Jessops (<a href="<a href="></a><a href="http://www.jessops.com/online.store/categories/Cameras%20and%20Lenses/Digital%20SLRs/products/Canon/EOS%201000D%20Twin%20Lens%20Bundle-75534/Show.html">here</a>) and I wondered if the deal is really value for money, or whether my money is better spent elsewhere?<br>

Cheers<br />Elliot.</p>

<p>Without a doubt this camera is beyond me in terms of capability.<br>

What's this I hear though about the kit lens being, well, abysmal?</p>

<p>Wow that photo's amazing! What lens were you using for that? It's brilliant!<br>

It's occurred to me I've lied through my teeth here by saying 350D when actually, I've purchased the 400D. Now I have to ask what people's opinions are on THAT!<br />As for lenses: I currently have the 50mm 1.8F and a Sigma 35-80 4/5.6F, plus the kit lens that's coming with it, which is the 18-55mm 3.5/5.6F.<br>

Sorry for being officially retarded.<br />Elliot.</p>

<p>Ok so I've stopped pussy footing around spending an unnecessary amount on cameras I don't REALLY need (EOS 600, Pentax P30, Lenses, Flashes, anything which catches my eye on eBay because I'm reckless), and bought myself a DSLR. Almost. And with this in mind I wonder if you folk can tell me anything about the Canon 350D kit I've just bought, for £200 brand new? Silver I realise is less popular, but I don't care so I wonder if there's anything else to know in advance before I return to Jessops and cough up the money.<br>

Cheers.<br />Elliot.<br>

And no, I can't really afford more for the 1000D etc., this was a naughty purchase!</p>

<p>Ahhh yeah, I'm thinking 1Ds was what I saw...<br>

So it's going for about the right price then? Is it good for that money, or is the low mp count now making it kind of pointless?</p>

<p>Hi again all,<br />We were wondering why <a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Canon-EOS-1d-MK1-Classic-Mint-Condition_W0QQitemZ330295720827QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CamerasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN?hash=item330295720827&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318</a>">this</a> is so cheap and why it's quoted at 4.0mp? Everywhere else has quoted the mp count at much higher...</p>

<p>Hi all,<br />Just wondering whether anyone can recommend me a set of filters to use for my EOS 1000FN for different situations. I want a small range that will cover a variety of situations, and I'm not really sure what to use myself, so I thought I'd ask the venerable folk at photo.net<br>

Cheers,<br />Elliot.</p>

<p>Yeah in retrospect (after a little more searching), we seem to have concluded that they're crooks...<br />Shame! We thought we had a wonderous money spinner there to get us through university!</p>

<p>Good evening all,<br />Wondering if anyone knows anything about the following company at all: <a href="www.topstrade.com">Tops Trade</a>?<br>

Cheers,<br />Elliot</p>

<p>Hi all,<br />Sorry for the pun in the subject, but I'm mainly wondering (not for myself, just out of curiosity - I'm not a good photographer), how it's possible to turn photos into cash? I know friends whose photos could have come straight off of posters/out of books etc. etc. and wondering if these people would be able to get these photos onto products etc. and make money. <br />Also, photos of famous landmarks obviously make good postcards, and I wondered if there has ever been a market in these kinds of photos.<br>

Cheers<br />Elliot.</p>

<p>Oh and how bad an idea/tricky is hacking off the coupling lever, for future reference?</p>

<p>Cool these were all really useful :) Cheers<br>

I keep making posts complaining that my cheap-ass buys aren't going to work, but I'm more worried about it buggering my camera... So I bought a P30 for £15 instead.<br>

I shouldn't be allowed near eBay officially.<br>

How did the photos turn out Nicholas? It sounds like a fun idea...</p>

<p>Duc- Wait, what?</p>

<p>So are we saying in a word, no?<br>

If so, I have a lovely Sigma 80-200mm lens for sale to fit a Pentax K mount!</p>

<p>Hi there,<br />I recently bought a K mount lens (Sigma 80-200mm - <a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=260331450022">http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=260331450022</a>) and wondered what I'd need to do to make it fit my EOS 1000FN/600.<br>

I've read a few articles but they seem a little contradictory at best.<br>

Cheers<br />Elliot.</p>

<p>Oh... Bugger.<br />Oh well I'll have to just get good at swiftly changing films then :D<br />Or get the toolbox out. Or not.</p>

<p>It's just occurred to me that I didn't state that I wanted larger rolls. Hence I now just look like I can't read. If it's going to be shooting 5fps then something along the lines of the 120 exposures would do me (though less could be fine).</p>

 

<p>Hey Henry, <br />Cheers for that. Had a look but they only have 24+36s on there for a 135. Or is this merely a lack of stock at the moment?</p>
