hey, what is the purpose of the photo anyway? if your boss (LTC) wants a photo of a nurse with a scope... why not just go and take it from the camp medical center??? there are male nurses also... just get some of the medics there to pose for you whilst they're doing work. i'm assuming...

okay... problem solved, thanks to Astin... apparently it was a stupid case of using too fast a shutter speed for his studio shoot... :embrass: moral of the story... listen to instructions... :bsmilie:

I've just developed three roles of film taken over the weekend and noted that there is a black line about 1/2 to 1 cm in thickness running on the top of my photos (landscape) or to the left (portriat)... ;( I used the manual mode setting to take my photos. before this i had no problems and...

i'm sorry to be hogging the thread but i really hope that everyone who visits melbourne has a great time. booking on line is a good idea... but it's very very expensive. one way to save money is to go immediately to the booths when you arrive to book your day trips (prices quoted are in...

go to yahoo australia and type in victoria car rental. get the list of rental companies be it hertz etc and send each one a mail telling them that you are under 25yrs. you may still be able to rent a vehicle but at a higher (insurance) rate. alternatively, there is a day trip to great...

i disagree. yup you get great scenery outside and driving does help but melbourne is full of old style buildings and you can get many great shots around the city. more places to go: albert park has a great view (grand prix is held here). botanical gardens at south yarra. walk along the...

i've stayed in melbourne for some time and i can tell you that unless you're over 25, it would be quite unlikely that you can rent a car. if you're over 25, an alternative is for you to go on the internet to source for car rentals instead of the bigger car companies. as for where to go, i...

Hi, i'm new to photograpy and would just like to know if you used a macro filter for this. I know hoya sells two kinds being the close up and macro close up. any difference between the two? thanks.

Just came from there today... I was all piped up to buy a list of things from them but came away empty handed. surprised cos of all the support for them here and from a friend (who's a semi-regular). even my friend was shocked at the way they spoke to us. anyway, i'll still give them...

Hi, maybe it may not be so nice to say what i got (since it would point to me...) but anyway, the guy was very very friendly and he got me the lens, not displayed since I POLIETLY ASKED FOR THE SPECIFIC MODELS. chatted with me about them and then let me try them out. I had done some...

Hi all, just came back from the warehouse sale. bought some great stuff (in my opinion) and the person there was very helpful and friendly... Quite a huge contrast to the feel that i'm getting on this thread. anyway, i went there first thing in the morning when there was no one around...

Hi, the crumpler has a chest strap that makes it work like a messenger bag so it can be used when you're cycling. if worn properly can be quite secure with bag fixed snuggly against your back.

Hi all, I have been looking around at lenses and realised (to my horror) that there are lists of different abbreviations attached... for example, AF AFS ID G E etc Can someone please explain or direct me to a site that explains what they actually mean and which are the more...
