    Your best cheap shots

    A good picture is a good picture any way you look at it - but how you take a good picture is just as important as the picture itself. Its really not that hard to take excellent pictures if the camera you use places little or no restrictions on what you can do. This thread is where you can...

    Your oldest photo?

    Just out of interest, what is the oldest photo you still have around that you took? It can be digital or scanned - whatever you feel is the best oldest shot you still have in your possession. Here is one I took in 1993 with a Kodak Instamatic using 28x28mm film :

    This is so sad

    I was looking at the price for the Sigma EF-530 DG Super at B&H and saw that it's going for $219. That's around R1970 ATM. Locally, it's retailing for R3300. The sad thing is that cost of importing this. They charge $82 (UPS)and then of course I would have to pay some TAX on that. With the final...

    Bugs

    Saw this guy doing his trapeze act outside my office a few minutes ago. Since its not a macro (it was taken with my 18-55 kit lens) I figured why not start a new thread for insects. BTW - you can also see this lens' legendary barrel distortion in action. :o

One is for a valentine's day evening event at a prominent Cape Town high school and another friend of mine asked me to do a photo shoot at a wedding. Now, what additional items should I...

    List your lenses

    Well, pretty soon I'm gonna need to start getting a nice set of lenses. I was reading on the ODP forums that most users were telling the noobs to not invest in the "entry level" lenses, such as the 70-300mm f4-4.6 IS USM lens, but to rather get the 70-200mm L series. At this point, I'm a bit...

    General Photography

    I wasn't able to find a general photography thread, so I took the liberty of creating one. This is when we get off topic in other threads and we can discuss general photography here, be it questions or whatever, without needing to create more threads.

    Custom White Balance

    Just wondering if you guys use a custom white balance and if you do, how do you set it? I watched a video on the net in which the guy suggests to place a white sheet of paper in front of the subject that you are about to shoot and zoom all the way so that you take a pic of only the white sheet...

    Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS

    I just came across this beauty. I think this will be my first lens that I will get after I get the dSLR. Price is not too bad. R4899 at sacamera.co.za. Linky It's for Canon dSLRs. Thoughts? I think this will be in direct competition with the new Canon EFS 18-200mm F3.5-5.6 IS , which is R7300.

    Shutter speed

    Ok, so hopefully I'll have the 450D very, very soon (just sorting out a few things). If you are shooting in Manual mode, you get to choose all your settings right? You have more control over the shots you are about to take, as opposed to the aperture priority or shutter priority, in which you...
