Here's a few pictures of my new computer. The IBM under the monitor was drawn on so I edited that :p it's just there to keep my monitor at a good height. I need a new desk though. The laptop is on my Logitech speaker box to keep it at a good height too.

PS. Ignore the wall, my room is in the basement which was never finished (my dad and I are going to start finishing it this weekend).

what tv is that? like exact model number. and how much do they run for these days...its very slick. never seen that size from sony in the bravia line up.

its a discontiuned model know its the kdl32s2530

so its a 32" but yeah I payed ?700 with staff discount when it came out and the final price before we sold are last one was ?500!

Lol I saw that photo on the OcUK forums in the photo competition :p

Heh well it is missing something afterall!

What kinda camera did you use to take that pic? looks very sharp image wise

I used a Canon 350D with Canon 17-55mm IS USM lens :)

just got my P182 :D

Good choice in case!

:)

Nice amp by the way, I almost got the same one.

Which one did you get in the end? I was "this" close to getting the Cambridge Audio Azur 340A SE !

yeah the 32" bravias today dont looks as good as that. maybe because they are more afforadable now...starting at $700 and randing to $1000.

Got me several of these laptops for ?60 the other day hehe:DD

You take some incredible pics fella :woot::

Are you still using a 350d?

Ive just bought one of these...not tried it yet..only got the kit 18-55 lens.

Me being a total novice this is pretty complicated to me ..normally only use auto mode.

What sort of settings would you use for indoor pics like the ones youve posted...i know your not using the kit lens but any info would be much appreciated.

probably the 350d for me is overkill bu had to buy one when i found one going cheap.

Thanks

Thanks :D I'm using the 350D still yep with the 17-55 lens but you can get just as good results from your 18-55 too :)

For those kind of shots you really do need a dedicated flash gun (I'm using the 430EX speedlite) to bounce the light off the ceiling or wall to get the all round lightness feel. wide apertures also help in keeping depth of field nice and smooth. I recommend using M mode and experiment with various shutter speed whilst keeping the F number at a constant value, for your lens leave it on f5.6 all the time and just adjust shutter from say 1/30sec to 1/80 sec indoors and see what you come out with - adjust ISO as well as you'll soon notice how shutter speed relates to ISO and then with aperture values in any given scene :)

Also I Finally I got round to painting my very scratched laptop lid!

Hey what are those little screens up in the right hand corner they look cool...just wondering what they are, are they screens, i've been looking for something like that...

Which one did you get in the end? I was "this" close to getting the Cambridge Audio Azur 340A SE !

I went for the Cambridge Audio Azur 540r AV receiver. All my music comes from the computer and I figured getting an AV receiver made more sense with regards to future upgrades etc, in my situation anyway. If it was strictly stereo I was after and I had a good separates CD player to play CD's then I would have gone for the NAD for sure.

    • Fun fact: There are more Warhammer 40k games than there are stars in the universe.
    • laughing is tedious. Elephants really are laughing lazy, y'all..
    • Agreed. And this is a great discount offer! It's a shame that there's no discount offer option for people who would be fine subscribing for a year-long term, but pay monthly.
    • A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has returned to its standard giveaway procedures after weeks of mystery freebies. The latest drop is replacing last week's Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest games and has brought in a double giveaway offering Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. From the duo, Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks lands from developer Caged Element, and it's a racing game that was only released last year. The title has you piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures. The focus is on multiplayer mayhem, offering multiple game modes that have you fighting other players as everyone tries to survive and get across finish lines or destroy mechs. Crossplay support between PC and consoles has now arrived as part of a free update, too, giving a boost to matchmaking times for this multiplayer-focused title. If racing carnage isn't your thing, then The Ouroboros King offers tactics. The indie title is a mashup of chess and standard roguelike experience, letting players create their own armies to defeat an enemy faction, all on the familiar checkered board. There is a procedurally generated map, pieces with special abilities, relics that bend the game's rules to make overpowered builds, and more. The newly available Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
