sent wrong lens
Sorry for the picking error! I think you spoke to my colleague earlier. The correct lens will be going out on Monday so will be with you in time for your holiday. When you get a chance send the other back and we will fully refund the postage costs. We normally would send a courier to collect, but t...

BBQ
We have a expensive gas Webber BBQ we bought a few years ago and when we left for Spain we told the people renting the house that they were welcome to use it. Haven't touched it since we got back but yesterday I decided to go buy a new gas bottle (was told it ran out just after we left) and connecte...

hope so I don't or didn't use a flash but my images are all in focus and show a bit of movement but you aren't aloud to use a flash as I puts of the dancers. His lens was a sigma 28-300mm F3.5 to 5.6 but he could of had the fastest lens going and still not have no clue. James

Gwyn I'm still waiting till some newspaper will offer an e-reader instead of the paper each morning, they have a lot to gain I think. The Kindle for example use a 3G network to download books and that's free, I could easily see you download the news paper each morning and when you're back from work...

It does astound me that, bearing in mind we're in a recession, and no-one's supposed to have any money, and things are tight etc., gadgets like this, which for the vast majority are just going to be a device to display photos, look at websites and check emails, even if the capabilities are far great...

Gwyn - I have audio books on an iPod - very handy for holidays etc - saves carrying lots of books with me for reading on trains etc Ah, but I don't have an iPod either. Nor any other MP3 player. I prefer the sound of silence, or maybe talk radio, so it would be wasted on me. I admit I nearly th...

Updates are ready for your computer.
I'm rapidly losing trust in XP Pro. It found problems the other day and ran Scandisk at startup fixed/messed up a few files. Audigy souncard wouldn't work, so I went back via restore about two weeks. Still problems so I went right back to March and it's still not right. What use is restore if it doe...

Updates are ready for your computer.
To go back to the original post, there do seem to have been lots of updates coming through over the past couple of days. I guess if they are necessary it's better that we should have them!

Updates are ready for your computer.
Microsoft have coined the phrase "Patch Tuesday" the second Tuesday of each month, where they release a bulk pack of patched. A note for Algi, Microsoft are stopping all support for any XP system that does not have SP3 installed after next month. For an OS that's 10 years old quite unbelievable tha...

For you Tommy, ze vorld cup is over!..
Apparently, there are 337 foreign players from 66 countries currently registered to play for clubs in the Barclays Premier league (inc Welsh, Scottish and Irish, I guess). If my sums are right, that is around 17 foreign players per club. It's not surprising that Capello cannot take a world beating ...

need a good lens
Hello Shaun, I agree with Stefan - you've got to be heading for f2.8 lenses ideally and he's mentioned the obvious ones. And if you really wanted to cover all bases, I think you'd ideally be taking two bodies - one with the 16-50 and another with 50-135 for shots from the back of the church etc....

need a good lens
Hi Shaun - I am currently selling 16-45 which I do not think is right for your needs (too slow and not enough reach), plus an old manual focus 50mm f1.4 SMC-M prime lens for £60 (see separate thread in classifieds). To be honest, I wouldn't go with that either unless you are well-used to manual exp...

Just done a wedding yesterday, and the answer does depend a lot on your definition of 'tele'! Kit used:- 2x K-7s 2x Flashguns with diffusers DA* 16-50 DA* 50-135 DA 12-24 for interiors at brides house DA*55 for some narrow depth of field shots & low light shots at receptions. You did s...

centre weighted metering / multi segment metering ?
i experimented for a while with Centre-Weighted, and found I ended-up with over-exposed shots. Under-exposed is MUCH preferable -its amazing what you can recover in Lightroom...but clipping is end of story! May be more of a problem on older cameras? I've got a Sekonic 758 light meter which I now ...

Ghost PMs
So when feeling throughly frustrated after getting that notification , you then find that you can't remove the ' new PM ' indicator from the box underneath your name on every Forum page :roll::roll: Is this correct?
