Digital photography

Thanks!

Came out a lot darker than I thought, looks brighter on my phone. Wish I had my proper camera there instead of my half broken phone, but as the say, the best camera is the one you have with you

also phone picture but dicked around with in lightroom quite a lot (not quite successful efforts to fix the perspective)

woozy

I see half a dozen creatures in that and they all give me the creeps.

Nice!

Here's a couple of pics I've taken in the last week or so. They're for a photo challenge against my mate, winner buys the loser a drink, or maybe it's the other way round. The theme was 'Flight'. I've gone with stairs rather than planes.

Fucking Boomshanka! Stiff competition against a cloud of pretty French flying ant things, but I beat him off, winning a bottle of scotch (to be shared with him)

I went up the shard, views were strangely underwhelming after having seen Jason Hawkes photos. The place and the people ended up being much more interesting:

Also went to the lake district:

nice, nice

Thanks, thanks

Any suggestions for a zoom lens for a Canon 100d (crop sensor). Looking for something like a 70-300 range, stabilisation and up to about £400.

A friend has asked for advice, I know nothing about Canon's (all my stuff is Nikon) and can't work out whether a lot of the lens are full frame but also compatible with cropped or if there are separate ranges like with Nikon.

Basically looking for a Canon mount equivalent of this I guess Nikon AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED: Amazon.co.uk: Camera & Photo

Cheers

Basically anything EF is meant for full frame but works with crop sensors with a 1.6x magnification, anything EF-S is designed for crop censors and will not for full frame bodies. I have an old 75-300 that works ok, I'm sure the modern one is good too.

Spotter, great shots as usual.

Thanks, thanks

Got a little tour write up yet? would love to hear and see more about this.

Awesome!

Tilts a bit to the left though (sorry)..

Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS STM

Just for you, Tina, here's something that tilts to the right. :)

The black is level, and this is also strengthened by the stronger shadow under the left part of the black bit. Black is the anchor in the pic.

Yeah.
It's a tough one.
Tilts both to the right, and to the left!
Even more so if you flip it.
I like it!

Cheers, that lens seems to fit the bill nicely.

You're welcome.

Have to admit I never shot with it (only with the smaller range, 18-135mm version of the new STM,
but that was very nice - silent and fast AF, and really good picture quality).

Will do some more of my G/F's pics in the genesis thread later today.
