Skoze Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I have just captured this photo about 30 minutes ago, and as you can imagine I am rather pleased Best of all, I didn't even use a dedicated macro lens or extension tubes! Went for the classic double lens trick where one lens is reversed if anyone's curious Having pissed about with that method before, jeeeeeeeesus. Nice work mate, that's incredible.

Tony Harrison Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 For various reasons my website has taken a back seat for a while, but I decided to get something 'new' up on there. This trip took place just over 2 years ago, which hardly seems possible, but there we go. I've still been doing a fair bit since then and have forthcoming updates spanning three continents and who knows how many countries, but it'll be slow progress until I have a decent amount of spare time.

I got mine from eBay (both a 7D and a 5DII and there were no issues), some good deals to be had. Also Talk Photography but you have to be a member. There are also a few other forums out there. Are you after one that takes video too I presume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Cheers for that link mike, i had found that one just as you posted it. Andrew - I am indeed after one that records video. i bought a 500d and unfortunately its inability to record decent sound is starting to annoy me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_travis Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) no external mic port on a 500d unfortunately... noob purchase Edited June 28, 2013 by ben_travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 That sucks. 60D second hand might be a good option. Either that or get a cheap flight to Glasgow and exploit the airport prices. There was some good deals on 60D's and 700D's when I flew last weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1a2bcio8 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Perhaps I'm not understanding what you mean, Ben but my 500d supports an external mic which I make use of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Apparently the 500D doesn't have an input, but the 550D does....are you sure yours isn't a 550? Edited June 28, 2013 by Matthew62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 The only other cheap option is to record sound separately on a mic and then sync it up in post, but f**k doing that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I've seen 550d's new for silly cheap on hotukdeals. Unless you want a flip out and more autofocus points that seems the easiest way to go. Or I guess if you want a second hand 5dII for a real step up in quality?

CalopS Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) no external mic port on a 500d unfortunately... noob purchase Let me know if you end up selling this to upgrade. I'd be interested but I just don't have much cash right now but should have some work soon.... EDIT: Even more interested now the GET comp is back on again this year.

Max Quinn Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 The only other cheap option is to record sound separately on a mic and then sync it up in post, but f**k doing that... To be fair this is pretty quick and easy to do if that's your only reason for upgrading. Just clap once on cam at the start of the recording and sync from that.

Joe O'Connor Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 About 6 pages back I asked a few questions about taking photos of the stars. I'd been meaning to go out and use the advice I was given (Was brilliant advice by the way, thanks heaps much) but had never gotten around to it. Until tonight! What an amazing experience it was, I don't even care that my photos were kinda average and framing of them was pretty crap because I couldn't see much. Being out in the 5C weather underneath a million stars was crazy fun and humbling. Got this one that I think is pretty good for a first try! Let me know what you think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
