Just an experiment to produce a "Big Kev" front page

I note the Canon 650D has been launched but so far the reviewers seem to be quite underwhelmed. One even calls it a retrograde step with the sensor and the changes are little more than cosmetic. If anyone finds a different review saying how brilliant it is, please don’t show me as I only just bough...

Thanks BK. I’m just a bit wary of buying blind, so to speak, after getting 2 hoods already that aren’t suitable although in their description it said they were for my particular Canon lens. I’d like to physically try one out in a shop - might take a trip to Clitheroe soon. I’ve added the Amazon hoo...

At a traffic warden's funeral they were just lowering the coffin into the ground when, to everyone's amazement, there came a voice from inside. "let me out, I'm not dead!"

"Sorry, no can do" says the vicar "I've already done the paperwork"

My main problem with the camera is finding a suitable lens hood (either tulip, flower or rubber-retractable) that doesn’t show as a dark circle at the widest angle (18mm). I nearly found a secondhand one in a camera shop in Accrington but discovered I couldn’t put the lens cap back on the camera. I...

Re: Site Tweaks, Bug Fixes and other Stuff Author: PanBiker » Wed Jul 18, 2012 11:39 am The time of your posts is correct Kev as far as I can see. This post should be around 12.40 which is correct. I'll have a rummage at this end. Clock is correct on the laptop but the posts are showing an hour beh...

Good news. I'm looking to join the Earby Camera Club, not sure what to expect but the programme looks fairly informative.

Been meaning to go for some time - a friend goes and he says it’s good. Not sure if they’re meeting over summer though?

Starts up again August 28th

It appears to be an hour behind.

With regard to auto settings, I tried one of the "Program" settings on the Olympus and produced the image, below http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7252/7585102290_8fa9157458.jpg Grace and Jamie by Olympus_Kev , on Flickr The "Program" setting only sorted out the exposure, really. The...

It was a bit of a shock when I bought my Canon 600D with 18-135mm lens. Although I’d used the manual settings on my little Olympus compact with some good results, nothing could have prepared me for the vast array of choices I can now make. And make a mess of, I have to say, in quite a few cases! Th...

I noted that too David but I suppose that since it is a BA facility they had their bases covered. Splendid programme on last night about the history of faeces and how we deal with them!

Start a topic that is of interest to you, then.

Some good record shots of the town. These could prove invaluable as the town evolves.

I obviously missed the point you were making. I'll keep my trunk out...

Excellent. I'll await a subject

Have you thought of trying something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nikon-DX-Zoom-Nikkor-55-200mm-f-4-0-5-6-AF-S-VR-IF-ED-G-Lens-/320938609416?pt=UK_Lenses_Filters_Lenses&hash=item4ab96e8b08 I've read a few reviews and it looks to be a popular, versatile lens. Once on the camera you probab...
