Just got back in from mowing the lawn, my dad gave me a virtually brand new leaf blower/sucker because it kept jamming in power on mode. Just looked at the instructions and it does that if the bag isnt connected properly. Too late to tell him now as he bought a new one a couple of days ago. :lol:

I know..and I didn't get to take the photo as I was driving :roll: Judging from the focus positioning I'm presuming that was someone from Ralliart.com? :lol:

When I was young(er), we'd go in restaurants, and before leaving, we'd take the lid off the sugar dispenser, but a cardboard on the dispenser so we could flip it over on the table, slide the cardboard off from underneath, and just put the lid back sitting on it. Then, we'd wait to see the face of t...

Well Joe at least know what I mean and David also. To David, it's very true what you said but I asked what you find more important and I think everyone can make a choice about that. Okay for the rest of you, what is content and form. To keep it very black and white. Content is what the image s...

Other than for journalistic purposes, I don't believe you can have a truely great photograph which is not strong in both catagories. Even in a journalistic situation, if two photographers are present at the first martian landing and one gets the shot in focus while the other ones metering system ...

Nightclub photos - any Tips?
Thanks guys - i think I'm going to try both setups - my mate wants a good mix of atmosphere as well as "people shots" - but the only fast lens I have is an old 50mm from a manual SLR that works great on my K20d, so its going to be manual focus only - but then again i think the autofocus will struggl...

Nightclub photos - any Tips?
Anvh is bang on. For that clubbing atmosphere - The kit lens will be fine - keep it wide and try around f8 and 1/10th sec (or less!) keep everything manual including focus (you might be lucky and have enough light for the camera to focus, but it's doubtful). Keep the flash power as low as you can...

Nightclub photos - any Tips?
Thanks for the advice on that - I'm still learning a lot of what Me and the camera can do together, but having done the night and seen the reaction this is certainly something i could get into more. I've put Sand3 on the gallery now, it's a shot caught as someone left and was kinda rushed as I d...

Nightclub photos - any Tips?
This is why I said f8 not the lower (wider) figures quoted elsewhere. Then, with a wide angle lens you just get the focus roughly right and leave it there for the entire group of shots. Spontaneity is everything! If you are struggling to get enough ambient light with f8 then you will have to open ...

Nightclub photos - any Tips?
Absolutely, Darkmunk is completely right. If you use a smaller f-stop, this will increase the depth of field of your photograph. If you use f8 or f11, you will have, at the closest range, basically 1-2 metres of in-focus area. So for example, if you know you are going to take candids of pe...

How do you . . .
Insist on a safe in the room - or use the hotel facilities. I have travelled a lot with my laptop and there is so much information on the disk that I would not want to loose - yes I do have back ups too. I always have a suitable screwdriver with me and in under 30 seconds can remove the 2.5" h...

How do you . . .
Is theft from hotels really such an issue? I've travelled a lot, and stayed in many hotels at all price levels: hundreds over the past twenty years - spent 3 years backpacking on & off in the 90s, and have been travelling frequently for work and play since. Only once can I recall having anything sto...
