Oh and has anybody got an OEM Canon flash foot going spare? I’ve just bought a 430EX and it’s not got the flash foot so I’lm looking to get one on the cheap.
I made a real thing of getting these flash foot things for my two Sony flashes but tbh they are useless for the majority if not all off camera flash, a lighting stand is a much better investment and probably not much more or do as I did and use old tripods! (got two lighting stands and heads now).
Also once you start putting modifiers on the flashes they get too heavy for the little plastic feet.
I’ve got some stands, but the flash needs the foot to have the thread to be put on the stand doesn’t it?
Although I think you can get those small things that are the size of the hot shoe but they have a thread on the underside.

I just realised that I haven’t linked what I bought lol, here - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004EK56LA/?tag=cliospnet01-21
Got two myself
Yeah it looks good enough from the reviews, it only has to hold a speedlite anyway.
Hopefully I should be doing more flash work, it’s something that I’ve never really broken into. I’m hoping to get to 3 speedlites eventually, I used a 3 flash set up not long ago and it was fantastic for automotive stuff. In the mean time it can be easily replicated using one flash, 3 photos and photoshop

Guys and girls, In need of help. I've bought some filters for my D3200 which are the size for a 52mm lens. They have just arrived and do not fit despite my lens and the filters being 52mm? What am I doing wrong? Do I need some sort of adapter? Just for reference these filters are a UV and a CPL filter along with some coloured filters aswell
They should just screw in if they’re screw in filters, turn the filter anti-clockwise when placed against the thread then wait for the little click type sound, that way you know you’re at the end of the screw thread, then just screw it clockwise until it’s on.
Any one recommend a value for money off camera remote? I want to try some star trails out
Check out amazon for remotes. Don't think mine was more than a tenner..
Make sure it's a programmable one !

Lads quick question, took a few pictures of my car tonight after a clean and on every photo there seems to be a blue light somewhere in the photo, I wasn't using flash and I turned off the focus assisting light so I don't know what it is? Really hope I haven't broken the lens or something major and I'm panicking lol

I think you could be right niall as after looking through the rest of the pictures from the rear of the car it is not there. How frustrating lol also I had a cpl filter on too but it doesn't seem to have worked as still getting the glare on the glass etc, am I doing something wrong or is the filter I've got just pants? Wasn't exactly expensive lol
Did you turn it and watch the glass change its look ?!

Right.. I have a budget of £500 MAX for a telephoto lens.
After reading a few reviews I'm looking at the Tamron SP AF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di VC USD Lens (£300). Any other suggestions for my budget?
Il be buying later tonight or early morning so need some advice/thoughts rapid.
This is for wildlife shots mainly but will be used for Motorsport on occasion.
Cheers.

I'll be getting my hands on an 800mm lens next week to play with at work for a couple of days.
Apparently it cost around the 8 grand mark!
Just hope I don't break the sodding thing lol

I remember a friend of a friend lending me his 500mm F4 while we were shooting on the roof of an 8-storey building at night.
Didn't know the value until afterwards - £5k worth - glad I didn't drop it!
It really was a great lens though.
You can't, bottom prices for the non OS like I have are around the £580 mark, and that's for a half decent condition one.

Really? I thought that they were cheaper than that.
Will be a while until I upgrade then!
Edit. There's this on eBay

Just saw my post *IS
Oh right yeah! I forgot about the F4, yeah those can be picked up for £350 easily (non IS).
If it’s an F4 the OP is looking for then PM JamesBryan, he’s got a good condition one for £350, I’ve used it myself a few times, really sharp lens and feels solid.
I took this with it-

I know Samyang make one that everybody rates highly, but there’s no autofocus, you’d have to manually focus it. The only autofocus AF lens for your camera would be the Nikon 10.5mm as far as I know, and that’s quite expensive.
