Well. I've now acquired my 1st Canon - 7D + 15-85mm + 70-300 Tamron.

Still getting to know/understand it but hope I can get even slightly close to the images posted here.

Read the manual three times

then don't try everything at once, just play with a few settings and increase as you go along. In the end you find you set it up and leave it

A pro told me years ago that he used only 10% of his cameras capabilities. I reckon I use waaaaay less than that!

Manual? That piece of badly written junk? I've no time for more than a brief look, all it does is confuse me.

My method is simply to play with the camera.

I sit down at home and follow any new features in the manual with the camera, I find this lodges the info in the old brain better than just reading.

As an engineer this is probably atypical, engineer's saying is:

if all else fails read the manual

I have to admit, I have not ventured into the manual at all.

I am, however, working my way through David Busch's Canon EOS 7D book. I'm about 160 pages in so far.

In the meantime, here's one of my first attempts...

Good capture, shame about the half shadow, the sun can be so darn inconsiderate at times

BT called and at last my broadband has moved from 239K back to 4Mb so perhaps now I can get something done!

Ken, 4mb/s? Is that all?

I would have a real issue with that. As for 239kb/s, that's just unbearable. At least BT have you sorted now.

That's why I love my family's house in Holland - we get 50mb/s on a bad day!

Yer can go off people you know

The exchange is sceduled for an upgrade to fibre optic in December, I just hope my 4meg can hang on that long.

Nice shot Matt

alex.hondsmerk · 30th of May 2012 (Wed)

I'll try and redeem myself with a few shots from last weekend then

Absolutely beautiful day on the Itchen! All SOOC as I've had to reinstall Windows and haven't replaced my editing software yet...

And finally one of yours truly with one of my trout

artyman · 31st of May 2012 (Thu)

That looks like it was a nice way to spend a few hours Alex.

At last i have got a reasonable speed broadband back so have been able to upload my Jubilee flypast shots from the other week. Now perhaps I might have some time to take a few shots, just bought a new Macro lens that I'm waiting to arrive.
