I'll try a different crop, that's a great idea.

There's plenty of shadow detail on my monitor if I view it full size. A different crop would mean the bird fills the frame a bit more and might...

Sizewell

Hi all

I've recently had a long overdue holiday in Suffolk and, although I didn't get much time to indulge in photography, I did get a couple of interesting shots from a few places.

I'm after some C&C on this photo of a red kite.

I took the photo quite a while ago now and I've had some mixed opinions. What do you think?

I shoot B&W film on a 70s Yashica rangefinder. Unless you really want the dark room bit of the process, I'd get the film processed elsewhere and scan the negs. It's far easier and you can still...

Personally, I think you're better off investing in lenses rather than cameras. The 600D might be newer than the 400D but it's not that much more advanced and it'll never make as much of a difference...

Dave, yes it is possible to turn the pop up flash into a "commander only" mode but that usually only works with proprietary flashes. As far as I know you can't normally use that feature with third...
