Question - Camera £100 budget (2nd hand is fine)

[Lord Oort]

Well ark at you; two cameras in only a few months. We'll have to head up your way and check some stuff out.

lol the 350D wasn't really working for me underground, I'm much more comfortable with the 650. Not that the 350's a bad camera most likely a PICNIC issue

 

[Miss Drippy]

Yeah, I need to invest in another tripod. Left my last one on the train to Chernobyl. Sad times. Also means I currently have to have a steady hand when taking low light or underground shots which isn't ideal.

 

[Oxygen Thief]

Outrcloud, what sort of level would you describe your no-light photography?

 

[Lord Oort]

I understand the principles. I'm happy setting up in full manual mode and doing timed long exposures. Not so good at getting an even light spread through the picture when light painting. No idea how you do those shots where you have lines of light zigzagging and spiralling through the picture.

Lack of experience is the main thing I'm missing at the moment really.

 

[Oxygen Thief]

We'll find a cave or mine somewhere and do some practice. Light zigzagging and spiralling is a bit , lets not worry about that.

 

[Ojay]

what ever happened to the Spungletrumpet/Styru skip specials ?

Ahh underground now you're talking I must say that did make me laugh.

Seeing that you've been talking about a trip to Browns, how about trying it out there?

 

[Lord Oort]

Didn't get much of a chance last time as we were trying to get around the route and familiarise ourselves with the mine, that shouldn't be too much of a problem this time.

 

[Lord Oort]

Today I found out that my 0.35 super wide lens is utter bollocks and made things a lot more difficult. These are the only ones even worth showing. I will be sticking to my 0.45 from now on. Focussing was a real pain in the arse.

Focussing is always a problem without a quick and reliable infinity.

 

[Lord Oort]

Yeah, apparently my lens is one of the ones where finding infinity is a bit of a faff. Much easier to find without the extra 0.35 so I'll be leaving that at home from now on.

 

[slayaaaa]

Really like the contrast of the blue and yellow lighting up the place, looks good.

 

[Lord Oort]

Thanks mate, just need to get more practice in now.
