[Barry123]

ok just a quickie coz i'm suppose to be doing some coursework. the more i play with this thing the more i love it...

http://www.saxperience.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2182&d=1159723089

still dont know what im really doing though.

[TU-Tuning]

Must have been comfy lol. Looks like an impressive piece of kit. I bought an Olympus Mini Muju S and it looks amazin and is well small but i wish i bought an SLR now cus half the pictures blur which id feckin annoyin, and not what you expect from a 300 quid camera.

I expect to see some quality karting action shots on here soon

[gotamintvtr]

nice lucky you. just a bit big for my liking. i stick to my 350 for now i think

[MikeCracknell]

The 10D is a good camera lad. Good choice, is a lot to leanr though! LOL

[Barry123]

tell me about it... looked at the manual and shat my panties :omg:

186 pages i think i have to wade through.

kiss au revoir to my studies muhaha

[Barry123]

Still learning...
but here was something i quite liked.

Nice cam, the saxos will look good through that, did your lack of ability to remove the tooth cause you to pull this face?

[saxooxas]

lol how DO you do that?

[Barry123]

lol how DO you do that?


turn my head away from the camera... and close one eye. it takes a bit of practice but now i have it down to a fine art :)

[saxooxas]

theres a trick to it! hahaha, ive been trying it and just imagining what an idiot i look like hahaha!

[Jungle_Jim]

nice one mate, i have the very same camera and grip and i have only been impressed by it, how much did it set you back if you dont mind me asking :)

quality pic mate, how do you do that sorta thimg, i know nowt bout photography but am starting to think bout gettin a camera soon

[DaveG]

Nice work :)

10D and a grip

Is that a Sigma 17-50 EX f2.8 I see as well? Great lens.

thanks man!
basically I've noticed that the ISO speed (or the equivalent digital version) has a very significant impact of the quality of the image. like when you increase the volume (increase the gain) the volume will eventually distort. same with a camera... increase the ISO (increase the gain) the image becomes grainy and rough.

So i selected the lowest iso speed i could... as a result this meant i had to increase the exposure (resulting in about 20secs - as it was very dark) as a result i had to rest the camera on the kerb (i left my tripod at home). also i selected the highest aperature f2.8 to give a narrow depth of field - but also to keep the exposure time within a sensible amount :)

hope that helps :)

you know your stuff dude... which doesnt surprise me as your pictures are often excellent.

I have a 550EX (flash) working its way to me as well :)

[DaveG]

Cool. 10Ds produce very nice colours - enjoy.

Get yourself a Stofen Diffuser for the 550 as well. It's a plastic 'box' that goes on the head of the flash and softens it, good for taking photos of people, good thing about flash guns is you can bounce them off the ceiling and get a much more natural illumination, rather than an a harshly lit shot.

For long shutter landscapes like the one you posted, use a smaller aperture. Landscapes are best shot with more depth of field.

will do... thats my only problem... i did try with a great depth of field but the camera was having none of it... 30secs exposure is the longest before jumping on to the 'bulb' setting... at that point i would be guessing how long to have the shutter open. practice time i think :)

I will look into the diffuser for the flash thanks man :Y:

Just out of interest macro lens and telephoto lenses what would be your recommendation (in terms of value for money (im a student :P))

I'll jump on ebay after your recommendations :)

cheers man!

[DaveG]

This is the Stofen on my 430EX. I never go anywhere without all my kit these days. Weird eh.

Hand-held that shot, at 1/13s as well!

[DaveG]

Macro - any of the Canon or Sigma jobs, just don't get an EF-S 60mm, it's not compatible with your 10D.

Same goes for the zooms, £100 ish gets you a Canon 75-300, which is reasonable. The Sigma 70-300 APO DG is fair as well. Just don't expect mindblowing results straight away with them. Will be different with the macro lenses though, the dedicated macro lenses are all shit hot. But use a tripod. 1:1 magnification will show up any movement in the camera massively!

glad you mentioned that... i was looking at the EF-S 60mm :P

thanks for your help dave - its much appreciated :)

[DaveG]

No probs man.

I think Canon and Sigma both make 50mm dedicated macro lenses.

Sigma 50mm f2.8 Macro about £200 so good value, 70mm about £300, 105mm about £280.

Canon do a 50 which is about the same and a 100 which is a bit more dosh at £400 +/-

Some of the Sigma zooms have a "macro" function, it's not a true macro function, just a button to push that makes their minimum focal length less.

[Jungle_Jim]

there is a cheap mod you do for your flashgun, to get the same effect if you dont wanna pay out for a diffuser and that is to get a white slighty opaque film canister, cut the bottom off and take a strip out of it and tape it on it will do the same
heres what i mean (*cough rep cough* lol)

i did try with a great depth of field but the camera was having none of it...


also you will find if you use a smaller aperture( higher f number) like f22 not only will you get an increase in the depth of field but it will give you a nice starburst effect on street lights.
