    Advice please for dull day photos

    A gradient filter helps on these occassions, a grey filter can alter the brightness of the sky allowing you to have an image exposed correctly.

    Image Manipulation.

    Just a question, does anyone use filters to improve the images they take on digital rather than doing it in photoshop? I use a range of Cokin filters to help improve images on certain days and polarisers. As an old film user on digital, alsways found the best way to produce an image is at...

    Canon 1000D

    Don't forget that they don't fit the 5s either, are designed to be used with cropped sensor digital cameras and the values on these lenses are designed for a sensor that has a 1.6x crop factor. Prosumer cameras have two points to mount the lenses and the EFS goes with the white square whereas...

    Canon 1000D

    Some good advice coming out here, on the memory card front rather than buying one big card buy two that equal the same amount, then if a card develops a fault you can switch to the other. As for RAW shooting, this is more about using your camera on manual rather automatic. On auto the camera...

    Canon 1000D

    75-300 is up to the job for railway photography, on the 1000 this makes it a roughly a 115-480mm zoom and priced at around £150. Not worth spending tonnes of money until you upgrade the body, even so I use a 75-300 on my 5D and get some stunning images.

    Nikon D80

    Anyone who bought a camera that shoots in RAW has the conversion tools included with the software that came with the camera, better versions are available to upgrade to but the basic camera software will allow for some alteration.

    Nikon D80

    Street lights give a orange light, your WB should be set to tungsten for that shot to preserve the natural colour of the surroundings, however if you shot in raw this can be done when you process the image on a pc.

    This lens can be bought new for £67 from calumet, cracking lens that is good for night photography has it reduces the amount of light flare with it being a prime lens and features less glass than zoom type lens.
