bickster Posted January 4, 2010 Moderator Share Posted January 4, 2010 Living in Litherland, Brigga is rather lucky to find a duck at all they usually find their way onto the menu of the local chippy ;-) but seriously Peter is right, a central composition has to be special to work, if it works it kinda breaks the rules, he's also right about the other stuff No doubt Damon will be along at some point, but he'll have to get his car started in the cold first ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villavipers Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Anyone got a 7D yet? I think im gonna buy one when my student loan comes through! heard that 18mp is too much for an aps-c sensor...from what i've seen thats not true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted January 4, 2010 Moderator Share Posted January 4, 2010 I would question why anyone would need 18mp in an aps-c sensor though, 12mp seems to be perfectly adequate The 7D however looks fantastic and a fantastic price too Not shifting sides for that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted January 7, 2010 Moderator Share Posted January 7, 2010 Some from Yesterday and today What if i log on tomorrow ? are they all off the TZ7 ? auto or snow mode ? Top two are with D300 bottom two with TZ7, the fence one has been shopped quite a bit, the other hasn't, They two TZ7 one's were shot on the snow setting, which it has to be said gave fairly impressive results. The Original of the fence one is on my FB Tony, its fairly impressive on its own as shot EDI: A my post is dated you numpty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had it without the colour i wouldnt mind seeing that. Not Tried it, but I thinl without the yellow on the train it'll lose impact. Might give it a go later though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingerlad Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Yes, but especially so in winter conditions. Such is the make up of Ginger hair that it freezes solid if exposed to temps below 0 for extended periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaretMahoney Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Okay need some help here deciding on camera to use whilst in Africa: Nikon Coolpix 12.1 MP Canon PowerShot 12.1 MP Nikon Coolpix 10.0 MP Sanyo HD Camcorder Now obviously the last one is more a camcorder then a camera, but I think I might get it along with one of the other ones, just for taking out and about to a pub or to use while snorkeling. I'm leaning towards the Canon based on reviews...any other camera suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Shooting pics in the Snow - lots of differing advice out there re best settings etc VT advice? Well, I'm sure there's a lot more expert advice out there than what I can offer, but in the absence of other answers: Beware your camera's auto-exposures. The camera will expose for the snow, in many cases. Sometimes, that will work for your shot. Often, it won't. For example, if you are taking a shot of something darker against a background of snow, the camera may expose correctly for the snow but underexpose for your subject, leaving it a bit dark. So, you might want to use whatever settings you have to control the exposure, and over-expose by one or two stops. My advice is go for fully manual settings, usually over-expose by two stops compared to what the exposure meter tells you, and if in doubt, bracket one stop either way. However, I accept no responsibility if my suggestions result in a totally screwed up photo-session. Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Okay need some help here deciding on camera to use whilst in Africa: you forgot the option for "none of them" :winkold: still think you want the Panasonic TZ7 .. it even has a HD camera built in and the "scene" modes are pretty good , for example just select "sunset" and it will do all the fancy stuff for you and you get a nice sunset picture as a point and click camera it's probably the best one out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
