If i havent bored everyone with my huge bundle of slow shutter traffic shots, that might get a few votes

I thought the same thing hen you started entering from my excessive time-lapse photos.

[Lani Kai]

Could you resize the original photo to 800x600 please? thats a tad too small.

My bad, thought it was just supposed to be something smaller than 800x600. Anyway, I fixed it.

[Niko_Fx]

how do you guys get the fish pictures? theres no glare or anything

just hold the Camera close to the Tank, my picture ( http://www.YPCPeaches.tk if youre interested) were taken in a darkened room with no flash and a light from above the water, and they came out fine!

I need to get out taking some more photos I'm running out!

I'm also saving up for a canon 350D in the near future cant wait Not as easy for me to afford one as some of you so its a big thing!

Haha, so am I. I probably won't be able to afford one until January but I'm definatley getting a 350D some time soon. I can't wait.

[Cotterik]

cool I'm hoping to get this deal, with the 18-55 lens adapter. Pretty good price. Which bundle are you looking at? and what price?

where would i find more lenses for my camera? id like different ones but im not sure where to get them and also can you show me some samples of the effects of different lenses? (talking to the photo master, cotterik here )

[Pinin]

I'm looking at the same one, black body with 18-55 lens, since it's the cheapest. It's a bit more than the one you linked to but I can't buy from the intenet... maybe I'll get lucky in the Jan sales. The next thing I'll get is probably a better lens for it.

ah yes I'm considering the jessops deal too as It saves having to get it from the net, and as you said if i wait until january sales when my birthday is, i may be able to get it a bit cheaper. Soon afterwards ill save up for the 18-200 lens adapter. Although i think the 18-55 will do me pretty good for the time being. I plan to start spending all my money on my 350D once its mine heh.

You have the Sony DSC-S90 right? It's increasingly hard to find suppliers for lens adapters for that range. However i recommend searching your way through the world of google, and see if you can find yourself a VAD-PEB Lens Adapter. This lets you use a few upgrades to your lens including the VCL-DH2630 Telephoto Converter which I'd recommend the most. The only down side is that they dont come cheap. A quick search gave me this price list: http://www.ukdigital.co.uk/sony_dsc_s90.htm and an individual price: http://www.electronics-online.co.uk/...2630_Lens.html But anyway as i was saying I'd recommend the VCL-DH2630 as the best upgrade for your camera. I'm not too experienced with the Sony camera range myself but thats what I would do if i were in your position.
