Great work Jordan I'd love to try this but don't know anybody that would let me shot them.

For some ideas check out this guy on youtube he has some great videos

ahh just ask around for anyone lol, someone is always better than no one, right?!

@Jordan you make it look so easy :D

haha thank you, i take that as a compliment right lol. :)

Very impressive photos spacey. Do you have any tips for a beginner like me? I mostly shoot in Av mode because it auto-adjusts the shutter speed to maintain optimum exposure. I sometimes switch to Tv mode when I want to control the shutter speed for high speed/low speed shots.

I'm scared to touch manual because I suck at changing the settings to get the right exposure. Most of the time my shots either come out too dark or just right but very blurry. :(

i havent posted any pics yet cos i aint had the time to do any of the editing on them but i would like some feedback on my kit as to how good it is and what i should buy to make it easier/better

18-55 canon lens (came with camera)

sigma 70-300 lens

polarizing filter

canon speedlight 540ez (still dont know how to work it properly)

4gb CF card

usb card reader

then just a nice big bag for it all

MBP 2.4 C2D, 4gb ram, 160gb hdd, 15" screen

imac alu 2.4 C2D, 4gb ram, 320gb hdd, 20" screen

thanx guys and gals

One Stop Digital

Shipped from Hong Kong to UK.

Price: ?293.

Some of the prices they have are really sharp and tempting. How is the packaging and shipping? Handled with care? Having a delicate lens worth a lot getting shipped from the other side of the world sounds a bit risky to me. o_O

I cannot fault the company at all, the service, packaging and prices.

Packaging was top notch, the box came 100%, no dents, no damage it was perfect - see below.

As for the packaging this is how it was packaged.

Lens Box -> Bubble Wrap -> Green Wrapping Paper -> Bubble Wrapped Fed Ex Jiffy.

I am going to be using this company again and again and again for sure! I will recommend them to anyone! 4 Days form Hong Kong is very good, especially when I ordered this Lens from www.purelygadgets.com and the order was still being processed after 5 days of me placing my order!

Yeah, I shoot Aperature most of the time as well -- nothing wrong with that. I only shoot manual when I use flash actually.

I tried to comment on a few of your posted photos. They all seemed to be processed the same though and probably taken around the same time so maybe once there is more variety I can say something more constructive, also I can't see your EXIF info.

shaddsi, first shot is funny. i like it.

scazza, nice lens! can't wait to see the pics. the 11-17 tokina was pretty sweet and tempting.

jordon, nice shot. i like how the background goes with her clothes. looks like u have something on your lens or sensor though in the top right :p

    • Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Capcom had a surprise waiting for Dragon's Dogma fans today in the Nintendo Direct presentation. The company revealed an expansion for the second installment with a name that should be familiar to series veterans. Coming later this year, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is promising a massive new region to explore, new monsters, fresh skills to learn, and more. The studio says players will be heading to the Northern region of the world, named Norgan, to find new secrets about an undying "Fallen Dragon." There will be forgotten relics that the protagonist can find to unlock fresh weapons and skills the expansion is introducing. Players will also be able to find mysterious equipment from a previous Arisen as a part of the expansion, all part of 12 Lost Rites Dungeon Challenges they must complete to gain access. In Neowin's own review, I found Dragon's Dogma 2 to be an impressive RPG when it launched back in 2024, giving the title an 8.5/10 for its class variants, companion system, and immersive exploration. "Once a prosperous region of the kingdom of Vermund, it was abandoned many years ago for reasons unknown," says Capcom about the new region. "Long has it been since any soul traveled its paths. Blanketed in heavy snow, these frigid lands are home to savage hordes and creatures of unbelievable power. Those who are capable of vanquishing such fearsome foes, or those who possess a keen eye for exploration, will find themselves rewarded with powerful relics." Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion launches on October 9, 2026, with a $29.99 price tag. Ahead of the expansion release, Capcom is also planning to release two free updates to the base game. The first will land tomorrow, June 10, bringing more accessible fast travel with an Eternal Ferrystone and other quality-of-life adjustments. The second update will land sometime in August, aiming to improve frame rates, add more save slots, and bring even more community-requested adjustments. This expanded Dark Arisen edition is also launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day the content comes to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
    • Classic themes are just the colors on the bar like the olden days, if you use the image themes, it does fancy transparent backgrounds and it makes the elements of the app look like they are transparent bubbles. This sample image shows what it looks like.  
    • Good point, unfortunately. NextDNS has far more filters and workarounds than uBlock, and it's easy to implement.
    • Windows 10 KB5094127 Patch Tuesday improves File Explorer search and more by Taras Buria The June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates are here, bringing mandatory patches to users with PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Update program for Windows 10. Microsoft is rolling out KB5094127, with build numbers 19045.7417 and 19044.7417. Changelog includes the following: [File Explorer] This update improves File Explorer search, including support for Chinese text, and UTF 8–encoded files without a byte order mark (BOM). Text now displays more clearly and consistently across search results, Content view, and tooltips. [Secure Boot] This update enables dynamic status reporting for Secure Boot states in Windows Security App. This update adds a new policy setting, LimitSecureBootRequiredServiceData, under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Secure Boot. When this setting is enabled, Windows limits the Secure Boot service data it sends by suppressing the event normally sent to Microsoft. This policy is also included in the Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline package. For information about the policy, see Manage connections from Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating system components to Microsoft services. With this update, Windows quality updates include additional high confidence device targeting data, increasing coverage of devices eligible to automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates. Devices receive the new certificates only after demonstrating sufficient successful update signals, maintaining a controlled and phased rollout. As for known bugs, Microsoft has the following to say: A workaround is available in the official documentation. Today's updates are available for PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Updates program only. If your PC is eligible, you can download the update from Settings > Windows Update or from the Microsoft Update Catalog here.
    • Then the solution is to not let children have easy access to smart phones or internet until they are older, not mass surveillance. Only this would require parents to do actual parenting, most likely, as with any good solution to the problem.
