    Canon 1000D

    Some good advice coming out here, on the memory card front rather than buying one big card buy two that equal the same amount, then if a card develops a fault you can switch to the other. As for RAW shooting, this is more about using your camera on manual rather automatic. On auto the camera...

    Canon 1000D

    75-300 is up to the job for railway photography, on the 1000 this makes it a roughly a 115-480mm zoom and priced at around £150. Not worth spending tonnes of money until you upgrade the body, even so I use a 75-300 on my 5D and get some stunning images.

    Sutton Park Line

    Image looks like it was taken at the back of Walmley Golf Course, in an area with a body of water called the dam, off Penns Lane, could be wrong but the palisade fencing etc give it that appearance. I can't believe that a photographer won't share the location, as for Grendon and hours you spent...

    Nikon D80

    Anyone who bought a camera that shoots in RAW has the conversion tools included with the software that came with the camera, better versions are available to upgrade to but the basic camera software will allow for some alteration.

    Nikon D80

    Street lights give a orange light, your WB should be set to tungsten for that shot to preserve the natural colour of the surroundings, however if you shot in raw this can be done when you process the image on a pc.

    Stuffs for sale

    This lens can be bought new for £67 from calumet, cracking lens that is good for night photography has it reduces the amount of light flare with it being a prime lens and features less glass than zoom type lens. At F/1.8 the depth of field can give a very soft focused image but using the cameras...
