    If you like HC, you will love this!

    Wow! That's crazy! But you must have anticipated this happening, so what's the plan? Replanting a gazillion offcuts sometime soon?

    Isn't there a danger the whole lot'll lift off, then?

    Canon 350D

    I'm moving from a Fuji bridge camera to a Canon too, Aaron - good choice! Lovely guinea pig, BTW. Ooh, ooh, just looked up blinkies (properly 'Highlight Alert') - sounds like a great tool! I can't wait for my 500D to turn up! I'd second that. If something amazing happens in front of you and...

    Extra Lighting - what would you buy?

    Thanks Darrel - in that thread there's a reference to Portaflash units, which look to be a more basic (and cheaper!) alternative to the Bowens items Mark suggests. Nice one Mark - I had a feeling this set-up would be the one. Stu's lustful comments about them in the 'Off-Camera Flash' thread...

    Extra Lighting - what would you buy?

    OK, so I've got a good quality DSLR on the way, and I'm hoping my tank will be in half-decent shape for an IAPLC entry. I'm going to start by taking pictures in the darkened room, camera on tripod, using the luminaire as my sole light source (2x24w pinkish fluorescents and 1x 150MH - I may...

    FujiFilm Finepix s1500

    Hi Adam I've got a Fuji Finepix S602Zoom. I've had it for years and years (it cost me more than a DSLR does now!) and it's served me very well indeed. The lens is good for a bridge camera, although the sensor is now old hat - 3 megapixels max. It's full auto with full manual override, you can...

    Best Snow pic

    Managed to get my car out of the snow for the first time since Xmas - bought fish on Saturday (!), took these on Sunday. Chapel Stile: Skelwith Force: The Langdale Pikes:

    Is there an idiots guide to photgraphing Tanks?

    Nice one Flygja - I really like that link. I thought the consensus on UKAPS was that cropping an image doesn't count as (illegal) post-production, for ADA comps? If so, does the shuttering around the tank need to be so extensive? +1 for the comment 'if your room is dark enough'. There's a...

    Best Snow pic

    Kendal, Cumbria, at its best: Top tip? Overexpose for white snow, instead of the grey stuff. Standard exposure: ...and over exposed: Our house - aquarium is in lower right! Will I be moving back to London any time soon? Not unless I have to!

    Best Snow pic

    You want snow pics?! Up here in Cumbria we've had several inches of overnight snow coming on top of unmelted snow from before Xmas - we're up to our knees in it (well, not quite...) I'll post some images when I get home.

    Shrimp images.

    Wonderful Mark - they look like they're made of blown glass!

    'Grass'

    Hi Saintly, If you want lots of moss, I can provide it. My Lakeland garden is packed with the stuff - it grows across bare soil like a weed, and I regularly clear great clumps of it off the rockwork in the garden to keep a nice balance between bare rock and mosses. Alternatively - move to...

    saintly's aquatic macro, trial run.

    Brilliant pictures, Saintly - they're getting (even) better. Could you stick a fish to a matchstick with some wax...? :jawdrop Only kidding - can you tell I've never kept fish before?

    if scared of spiders, do NOT look.

    These are such good pictures. It's great looking down the New Posts list for the dead giveaway Topic Titles! :clap: :angel: :clap:

    saintly's Nature plant pot.

    I've got a fabulous book on terrestrial mosses called "Moss Gardening including Lichens, Liverworts, and other Miniatures" by George Schemk. I got it from the RHS. Mosses are devilish difficult to ID even for experts, and trying to do so over the internet is like trying to paint your hallway...

    why stinging nettles sting.

    I can't imagine what you'll be doing with this lens once you REALLY get going!

    raging planet of dandelion.

    I can't wait to see you try - shrimp will be in-credible! :clap:

    raging planet of dandelion.

    Those are remarkable images - the last one especially, Mark. Will you be able to capture such super detail on a fish, d'you think?

    Longleat Safari Park - holiday photo's

    Re: Longleat Safari Park Aah! I see! I thought you were on about a UV clarifier for your aquarium! Doh! :roll: :roll: :roll: FWIW, when I used to use a traditional SLR, the polarising filter was always on and made a huge difference, especially when taking transparencies. But I've got a...

    Longleat Safari Park - holiday photo's

    Re: Longleat Safari Park Lovely pics Aaron, especially the macro shots. Would you care to share the UV knowledge you gained, and how you gained it?

    Trip to London.A few more pictures.

    After 45 years in London I moved to Kendal - but we're hell-bent on moving back to inner-city living once we retire. London rocks, baby! Sorry for the hi-jack, Graeme. :roll:

    Trip to London.A few more pictures.

    Lovely pictures, Graeme - as another Londoner born and bred, you've certainly captured the vibrancy and variety of one of the world's great cities. I used to do a lot of street photography for a previous job and I'd agree with whoever it was who said that for good street shots you shouldn't ask...
