    Polynesian: 1 night for special birthday?

    General Canon Questions

    Thanks both. I think the 60D could be a good camera for me...its considerably cheaper and the differences are things that arent hugely important to me - Im a casual user so the build doesnt have to be particularly robust. the FPS is not a feature I need to be super fast in my areas of interest...

    General Canon Questions

    Interesting thanks. Anyone know how the 60D compares with the 7D yet? Im about to upgrade from a 30D and lust after a 7D but the 60 seems considerably cheaper so it might be worth considering.

    Main St Electrical Parade Photos

    They were all taken from one spot which was opposite the Castle (to the left, facing it) in the central hub - except for one shot (of Mickey) which I grabbed as I was exiting the park and the second parade of the night was just starting as I was waiting for the cross walk to open between floats...

    How to shoot fireworks

    It wasnt feasible for me to bring my tripod on my trip last week so I decided to try and have a go handheld. I used my Sigma 30mm f/1.4 on my Canon 30D. I mainly used Tv mode at 1/125, ISO 800 and waited for the brighter bursts. I did find the spot I had meant the lens wasnt QUITE wide...

    How to shoot fireworks

    I wasn't able to bring my tripod on my current trip, so last night i had to try to shoot the MK fireworks handheld with my Canon 30D and sigma 30mm f/1.4. I used av mode set to the largest aperture iso 800 which gave a reasonable shutter speed of around 1/125 if I waited for bright bursts. I was...

    Photo Contest - Final Vote - Rare Characters

    Id say your pic was rare Stephen - in probably 30 or 40 visits to MK only ONCE have I seen the full complement of dwarves (and Snow White too!) out and about. My only query with your pic is, you are in it so who took it?!!! :)

    Two B&Ws from My Xmas Trip

    Thanks - the grass is actually untouched by the clone stamp but I think the white bit by his lip needs to go even though it is a natural bit of grass! I'll do a little clone on it and post the retouch! Yes, definately give it a go - Ive really enjoyed it plucking a random file and forcing...

    Two B&Ws from My Xmas Trip

    I posted awhile back about not being very happy with a lot of my pics from my last trip. Ive left it a few months before processing too many. I decided to do something a bit different - I opened photoshop and then simply opened a random picture file and my challenge was to "do something with it"...
