Thanks for the comments

Hi all, Not been to KH in ages - was good to chat with everyone :) Few pics... 1. http://www.motionimages.co.uk/gallery/albums/Knockhill-01-June-2011-TrackScotland/9925_TrackScotland_01_06_11.jpg 2. http://www.motionimages.co.uk/gallery/albums/Knockhill-01-June-2011-TrackScotland/3187_TrackScotland_...

Adobe Lightroom 3 - should I get it? Special offer now means it is £76 plus vat rather than £240 untill June 6th. Question is what does it do and do I need it? I use elements 9.0 mostly but am looking for a better raw converter. CS5 allows you to work sections on RAW rather than entire image, does ...

:thumbsup Recently sold an Olympus 24mm f2 on the 'bay, so just about have the 7D funds together. Cheers for the advice - Hope I can do it justice!! :shock: :mrgreen: If you like primes then there are loads of options (£!!! ;)) but even if they aren't a priority I'd still grab a 50mm f1.8, only £85...

Okay - Sold my Olympus D-SLR...Enjoyed using it, and learnt a fair bit - But its low light performance / lack of options for glass were starting to become slightly limiting. Moving mainstream, with a Canon or a Nikon body - Had a play with a friends 5D Mk2, which was awesome. But too expensive. :mr...

I've read that some macro photographers pre-focus their cameras and then move the camera rather than relying on the autofocus. The very small dof created by focusing so close means that even small movements in the camera may allow you to focus adequately. In fact, one Canon lens - the venerable and ...

Dear Santa, Please can I have a Canon body with all the new features of the 7D plus the full-frame sensor and excellent low-light performance from the 5dMkII. Thanks, Every canon photographer in the world. Sounds like a top idea :D Though I fear it will be called the 1Ds mkIV and cost £4.5k-£5k, doh.

Really must be saved! Such an amazing sight to see, but the noise - a sort of hollow roar - is just so unique. Really something worth going to an air show to experience :) Leuchars Airshow 2010 : http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4130/5004349789_7f5514311e_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4087/4982...

Ouch Sorry to hear that. Get well soon

Lots of free photoshop tutorials online to keep you busy YouTube has some useful screen-captured tutorials as well

Lookin good

I'd certainly do it using a layer for the B&W part and another for the colour if you are going to put some time in. That way you can easily adjust the effects independently.

If you are using Photoshop and are selecting a hard edged object (like a car) then you may want to try using Photoshop's Path tools. They will let you define a clean curved edge that can be hard to replicate by using lasso tools or other hand-painted techniques. Eg. http://www.motionimages.co.uk/gal...

Thanks again for the advice, Im looking at lenses right now . Should I be looking at buying both 35mm and 50mm or would the 35mm do pretty much the same for me right now? Getting one lens for the time being is probably best - it'll be enough to see how prime lenses (in general) differ from zooms......

That was the thinking behind buying it. I was looking for something that I could learn the basics with then buy something a bit fancier next year. Am i better to pick up a half decent lens right now or wont I see much difference from the kit lens? Congrats :) As mentioned above, something like a 50...
