    Almost decided on Sony 37W550. Is this a bad idea?

    Hi guys, almost decided on this model as i want a 37" - 40 is too big for my room unfortunately which almost rules out plasma 1080p - I will be using it a lot with my ps3 so this seems important to me with scart inputs - which the panasonic s10 doesnt have! which is fairly reliable - I don't...

    OcUK Photo Comp - Season Eight : Round Eight - "Cosmic" DISCUSSION

    Damnit Mark A, I had that idea 20 minutes ago and was just about to go set it up! I think I'm going to go for something nice and different as I'd like to have a unique perspective on the subject. I do have to admit at first I really didn't like the subject but its pretty challenging so I'm...

    really nice shot, well done on second place. Seeing this and the other thread of someone taking lots of portraits of a woman is making me really crave some artificial lighting

    What's your favourite picture you've ever taken and why?

    I think the best advice i was ever given was by someone on this forum(messiah kahn) when they said to have your camera on you at all times and when you don't have it with you, why the hell not? I think it is actually all about what you personally find special and a great photographer is someone...

    What's your favourite picture you've ever taken and why?

    oh my word, i LOVE the beach in the second one, it's so nice there. I really want to go swimming now. Is there a story to any of these? Why are they your favourites?

    What's your favourite picture you've ever taken and why?

    wow, I can see why you would think that. Really stunning and I'm sure you probably like it a lot just because of the work you put into getting it!

    Thinking of getting myself a film slr

    yeah I figured it was a bit of a gamble because I'd never actually held one before but I figured it was heading to be such a bargain for all the equiptment i found it hard to resist. does the paper you make have a huge impact on the final image then? I'm going to the library tomorrow to check...

    What's your favourite picture you've ever taken and why?

    I thought I'd start this thread because there are a lot of outstanding photographers here and I'm curious to see what they personally consider to be, not their best necesarily, but their favourite image. Without trying to be arrogant, I'll get the ball rolling. I like this because it was...

    Thinking of getting myself a film slr

    aside from the stock 18-55 i just have a nifty 50 so that would be transferrable, in a way i wouldnt mind not being able to use that lens as its the only one i use and all my photos are ending up looking the same thanks though! Do you know if you can get an adapter for lenses to use them...

    Thinking of getting myself a film slr

    i have a canon 400d but i was under the impression that you couldnt share lenses, but then again i have no idea where i have that bit of knowledge from... i think i would rather go for completely manual focus just i think if im going to be a bit of a purist i may as well go all out. also i...

    Thinking of getting myself a film slr

    After much thought I've decided it might be nice to try out with film. Problem is, after considering myself to be fairly in the know about dSLRs, i know nothing about film cameras! So I was wondering what you lot thought about things I should consider/look out for/be wary of etc etc...

    OcUK Photo Comp - Season Eight : Round Six - "Reflection" DISCUSSION

    almost a year after the ocuk photo competitions helped get me into photography and persuaded me to get my DSLR I've finally entered. Despite not being 100% happy with my choice of image I'm so glad to have finally taken the plunge! I think I might change my image as I don't really think it...
