Anaron: I think a big thing to consider is that nearly every photo you take is going to need at least some post-processing - I shoot in RAW+JPEG, so I have the option of having a quick version for sending to people if I need to, but if I really like a picture I'll import the RAW into Photoshop and play with the temperature, exposure and, importantly, the sharpness settings. Zoom to 100% (actual pixel size) and slowly increase the sharpness until you get a result you're happy with. You will also find that simply decreasing the resolution of pictures from 4272 x 2848 to something more manageable (especially for web) will tend to make the sharpness a bit less of an issue.

Hmm I'm not sure what else to say...always shoot in the 'Creative' modes (P, Tv, Av, M) rather than the auto ones, use a tripod where possible, don't always use the flash - especially for close-up photos, don't be afraid to take a lot of photos of the same thing and select the good ones when you're at the PC where you can see the photos better.

I haven't had the camera long and it's my first DSLR - luckily not long after I got it I was in Cornwall for 2 weeks with little to do so I made a point of learning all about the camera, taking lots of pictures and reading some photography magazines. Best advice I can give is just to keep practising really, take lots of photos, mess around with the settings etc.

JMann: I asked my mum where she picked it up and she can't remember exactly, she thinks it might have been from TK Maxx a few years ago - but they change round their stock all the time so I wouldn't think they carry it anymore. Sorry I couldn't be more help!

Thanks man, I will take a look around for something similar; looks great though. (Y) (Awesome Photo's too btw. ;))

Wow, that's wonderful advice. Thanks!

Wow, sharpening my pictures makes it look so much better. By the way, it'd be nice if people could post what camera they used to take the picture. The lens would be great too.

A couple of shots of tonight's sunset. As always with 50 f1.4 lens. Still not as spectacular in real life as the one I saw the other day. Will upload a couple of more tomorrow maybe.

Getting a 18-200 VR at the end of this week. Finally will be able to shoot some wides. Will most likely also get a 70-200 f2.8 later this year for some lowlight zooms.

Long Time No Post.

I've been sick the past while and unable to shoot as much as id like. But it was my buddies birthday today and thus i felt the need to bust out the camera. This was just in my backyard as we were waiting for another friend to get off work before we could start the fun.

    • Uhm, that's every business ever, though. It doesn't matter if a bajillion users are using it. As long as it's not making bank, it's probably headed for the graveyard.
    • Yeah Patchou was an active member here, good ol' times indeed.
    • Samsung is the new Google... they don't care if millions of people are using it.
    • Still no word on Tides of Annihilation...... so weird that it wasn't shown at the big Game Fest. Guess I'll put it in the bin like Judas and Squadron 42.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.
