  1. I got a wireless kit from ebay too. I think it cost about £15 for the camera end and the flash end. It's worked flawlessly for about 2 years now. Haven't used the pocket wizard, but they'd have to be pretty good to justify the extra £££.
  2. Use a flash. Take a long exposure and move the camera around for the ghost-like effect, then have the flash fire at the end of the exposure, which will freeze the bits you want frozen. I think it's called rear curtain sync, or something like that. There'll be instructions in your DSLR's manual or menus.
  3. This one will autofocus on your D40x... http://www.warehouseexpress.com/buy-tamron-70-300mm-f4-5-6-di-with-af-motor-nikon-fit/p1030157
  4. That the average SF user would struggle to spell IQ.
  5. wow such a shame the photographs have been ruined in post-processing
  6. Be careful with the lower end Nikons. They are good cameras but some of them don't have auto-focus motors. This is over-simplified, but basically there are two types of lens: AF lenses use the motor in the camera to auto-focus. AF-S lenses have their own motor built into the lens. If you're camera doesn't have an auto-focus motor, you'll be limited to the more expensive AF-S lenses. The AF lenses would work, but you would have to focus manually by rotating the barrel. It's not the end of the world, but the cheaper cameras can end up meaning you'll spend more money on lenses (and be limited in choice) in the long-run. So if you plan on adding lenses, they may be a bit of a false economy. I'm not sure which lenses the D3100 supports, but you can check on Nikon's website. Other than that, they're really good cameras. I've been using a D60 (an older version) for a couple of years and love it to bits!
  7. Thanks for the suggestions guys. I went to Harrisons and payed #4.75 for a 10x8 print from a kiosk, which I thought was really expensive, but the quality was very good. I also found http://www.kodakgallery.co.uk which are really cheap (#1.29 for a 12x8 print, and you get 50% off your first order), so I've ordered a few from there. Not sure what the quality will be like as they haven't turned up yet.
  8. A 50mm f/1.8 might be useful... can be had for about #120.
  9. I'm looking to have photographs printed at 10x8" or A4 size. Cheers!
  10. Hey all, Where's the best place to get some good quality, large prints in Sheffield? I'm after some 10x8" and some A4 size. Is there anywhere to get them in Sheffield, or is ordering online the way to go? Cheers!
  11. I walked down Ecclesall Road at ten this morning. Tesco was open, as was the new little corner shop / minimarket, a few coffee shops and the Varsity pub.
  12. The fact that they lack in the areas mentioned is the reason their stuff is so cheap in the first place. Go to Tesco and get crap food and service at cheap prices, or go somewhere at Waitrose and pay more for decent food and better service.
  13. Well thanks for reminding me why I don't come on this site very often.
