well am at work, but im spending all my time learning about these settings on my camera lol, talk about a good job... hehe.
I can't believe how stupid the damn manual settings on the 350D are. arg, hehe, lesson learned though, so next time i can try some time delay shots.

I've managed to get my laptop to behave itself for a bit and Ive looked through my photos from today and there's not many that I want to develop. I have a bunch that I need to get into Photoshop and get the merge on. I'll need to work out how to do the masking for the multi-pose shot. Thats my plan for tomorrow!

hehe, yeah i cant say i have that many i want to develop but today was worth it, even if it's just the one photo im proud of.

Cheers mate. Wishing I'd stayed up there a bit longer. I was kinda worried that if I did I'd end up dropping something over the edge though...

Who was the guy wh let/took you up there
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dont know. I was just hanging round taking pictures of the crowd etc and he just asked me. People have said to me since that apparently you can ask somewhere in town and they can arrange to go up it.

Cool, wonder if you can get up at night. That would be something!

Thanks for the dev-watch mate, took your advice as well ( i started hunting for good magazines and buying any that looked good).

Yeah mate, Its even worth getting a selection and pick one that you like then subscribe (and then get some sort of freeby for subscribing)

Aye sure will, I'm looking at getting a tameron 70mm-300mm lens for when i go to germany, whats the size you had on your camera yesturday?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thats the lens I have. The Tamron is a good lens but you'll have to get used to focussing manually as the auto-focus on it isnt amazing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
tbh, its worth doing things manually, i think it may make me more aware of what am doing, but the mag i got, is selling it for £126, which isnt bad, I'm assuming is universal for Nikons and Cannons etc...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would check as I think there is a different fitting for Nikon and Canon cameras.
just checked and theres a canon fit model available. Few places doing them for around the £120 mark.

Just trying to find somewhere close that sells them, the place I was looking, is down south. Sooo it may be an internet buy lol. Thanks for looking though.

no problem. I had a look at your stuff and I was quite impressed. Decided to dig out some of the photos I took when I was over in Canada last year to see if there's anything on there that I can touch up and use. Keep your eyes peeled from some Ontario based pics!
