T'Humber Bridge -

 

 

Try standing directly underneath the Humber Bridge - I guarantee you will shit your pants. The fucking thing rattles!

Just got my camera in the mail today and took a few photo's of the dogs in the back garden.

 

Can see myself having lots of fun with this new hobby.

As this seems to be the only thread relating to this kind of stuff and some of you seem to know your stuff I thought this might be the place to ask.

 

I've got an old Kodak digital which I have a problem with, it's not a high end camera but I just use it as a point and click camera for taking photo's of stuff I am selling and basic stuff like that so it doesn't need to be anything flash. It's an Easyshare DX6490 if that is relevant.

 

Anyhoo I'm getting an issue that all the pictures I take seem to have a slight yellow tinge to them. Anybody have an idea what would cause this and how I would go about putting it right. I'm assuming it wouldn't be cost effective to get it repaired professionally? given that for point and click stuff you can pick a camera up fairly cheap these days but it's a decent little camera and I would rather use the Kodak for day to day use as it's fairly decent and if it can be sorted cheaply/easily it's better to use than the Fuji Finepix I have. (Again I know the Finepix ain't high end but it's a close to a proper SLR as I am ever likely to get).

 

Any help greatly appreciated and will receive rep etc.

 

Also, the Humber Bridge pic is ace. I like that kind of stuff, top work!

I know it sounds stupid but are you sure its the camera and not your monitor that has calibration error.

 

Is it possible you can run the calibration program again or possibly try the camera in another PC/Laptop.

Thanks for that coop. I'll have a look on my laptop and see if it is OK on there. It always used to be fine on there.

Have you got different light settings on the camera? On a lot of compacts you can choose between indoor, fluorescent, sunny, etc. As these give you different colours of light you'll note a difference if it's changed from the auto setting. It could also be the white balance if you have a setting for that.

Thinking a break from photography would be good I sold all my gear last year.

Within a month I regretted it.

 

As I have no ties to a particular company anymore its a frsh start so...

 

Any one with experience of the Nikon D7000, Pentax K5 or Canon 60D?

I only ever used Canon previously but things have moved on since my old 20D.

 

Been researching and leaning towards the D7000 and 16-85 or even an 18-200mm lens as a general all in one.

 

Having said that the Pentax looks great but with less lens support and I would probably be instantly familiar with the 60D.

 

Any comments welcome.

I have a D40 with the AF-S 18-200mm. Fantastic piece of equipment at a reasonable price.

Had a very wet weekend in the lakes, took two photographs before the heavens opened but managed to grab this -

 

 

Usually I very slightly boost the saturation on my images but on this one I de-saturated and am quite pleased with the effect.

Nikon D50.

 

Clicked on your Flickr link and had a look at 2 or 3 - your shot of Blea Tarn is absolutely fantastic.

[Tom R]

I'm enjoying snapping people when they're not expecting it at the moment.

Got this shot of a friends baby last weekend. I think it's lovely. It's not the best picture I've taken so far, i know it isn't framed very well etc, but it's probably my favourite.

 

 

Also got this one of a different wee lad, which I really like.

That's the gateway to underground child trafficking, just so you know.

Thats very kind, thanks.

Been doing some work with naked ladies at a local studio.

 

 

 

 

Not sure how much more I can show to be honest.

[coop]

I say, what a wonderful pair, what what.

[odris]

Show them all!

I think the rest maybe on the hardrive at work.

Just bought a D3100 and 8 - 55 mm VR lens. Looking at bags for it now. What do you guys recommend? Lowe Pro or caselogic still the ones to go with or something totally different?

Lowepro Altus 120 Shoulder Bag for DSLR Kit - Black: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

 

Will work perfectly mate, I've got one for my 550d and so have a few of my friends for their DSLR's. A little smaller than others buy it will be able to fit perfectly with space for another lens or battery in a seperate pocket. And it's got a bargain price too, could cost up to £25 in shops!

[Torvald Utne]

Isn't that a bit small? Looks like you have to take off the lens to put the camera in, that would get old fast. I have a D3100 with a 35mm and (soon to have) a 18-200mm.

It fits the 18-55mm fine, but I would be hazardous with the 200mm one. Best get the next size up if you're looking to carry round larger or more than two lenses.

Nowt special but I like them...
