yep u shud see the ones i deleted lol look like im gone got run over by a train its flipping moveing quick i can tell yer

Grom - love the piccies!

What lens is it? (and what cam?)

moonbells (the other hobby is photography)

canon 350d with a canon 100-400 usm image stabiliser thing heavy but does the job you get the odd funny look at night with it i can tell you

ah - another in the Canon SLR fold...
I've the 300D and I think it was LS who also had a 350 at the Bash? (Scuse if wrong - I am currently suffering fuzzy head syndrome)

Only got the USM 70-300 (and 2nd hand at that) tho. Couldn't afford a bigger one! Would love the really wide angle they now do, to get ice crystal haloes without having to stitch them together! Sadly too brassic now - it was either new laptop or lens and the laptop won as I need it for work!

while you both on what res are these SLRs, some day we need to ditch the canon 35mm and go digital. we normaly do slides them blow them on to a screen about 16 foot and the hair on the stamen shows up , could we do it with an SLR?

You'll never get as good resolution because the limit's the grain on the film rather than a CCD pixel.

Despite this, an 8MPix camera (the 350D) is very good.
The 300D is only 6MPix and ate a huge chunk of my HDD when I got it!

If you're a slide photographer you'll IMHO be better off sticking with it and scanning them in a slide scanner if you need the odd print. If you're a print photographer then you may be better going digital. It's saved me sooo much storage space! (I don't print them as a rule.)

All the Canon normal lenses fit on the digitals (but some digital lenses do NOT fit on the film cameras, so beware!)

Let me hunt for a nice full-res example (I shall put it up on my website as it will be huge) and I'll pop the URL in here.

ok have a peek at this 1.4MB file (directory name is historical!) which is literally the 8th one I took - I was taking sequential photos of the african violet as a test of the supplied (cheapie) lens and the depth of field. The DofF here was set to cover both flowers without increasing the ISO too much (F29). If you want to see the other test pics then yell. (Yes I know, sad physicist testing new camera...) Colour balance wasn't too bad - digitals usually have trouble with blue/purple.

yeh that's wot I thought G2

Way to go MB

Taa Jane better shown to me than anyone else has done, our 35mm is an automatic which is great cos both of us know nothing about f2 and lens etc. The most complex thing we do is zoom in to a flower.

Glad you mentioned colour cos when the so called pro's come here they get the colours completely wrong, but this never happens with our camera using boots or Fuji film, we spent nearly a year logging the colours on every flower (If you ever see our book its all in there). Another time we had the Tele guys out and I gave them a hand setting a studio up in the garage, but when I took plants in to show they looked like they had wrong label in, soon realised it was the arc lights taking blue out, so it had to be faked in the camera.


Need to wait another few more years still?
