Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • You don't need a fancy expensive camera to get a good macro shot, in fact a lot of pro's will carry a compact for macro work.

    I took this in 2004 on a trip to the jungle in the north of Thailand, just with an old Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS1 I think it was:

        You got your self a really good camera mate, you will be more then happy with it.
        not true dude, the 400D was the model before the 1000D

        the specs are the exact same compared to each other, settings and some button positions are the only thing that is not the same, the 1000D is the facelifted 400D

          Ahh...right!

          I always thought with the Canons they start from the bigger number and gradually decreases as the price gets higher.

          My bad

              you're right, they do. At the moment canon starts at 1000D (which is a facelifted 400/450), then the 500/550 range, then 40/50/60D, then 7D, all of these are aps-c sensor cameras (1.6 x crop factor) & the body size changes with the 1000 being the smallest & the 7 being a full size SLR. The 5DII is the first of the full frame cameras (35mm) sensor with the new 1DIV being the top of the range.

              I think this is all correct at the time of typing, at the rate that canon are releasing new product there will probably be a new model on sale as I finish this!

              • my 7D arrived on friday
                amazing camera, got to read the manual though as it seem to have soooo many more features than my previous 40D

                probably got the new sensor nice and dusty playing around with hand holding my 50mm 1.4 reversed to the body today...

                • Very cool shot, McDub.

                  I'm only new to this stuff, but everyone has been giving me plenty of ideas, which is cool.


                  I took this shot with my phone, but I still think it looks cool. It's a smear head, collar and sleeve we made at work.



                  A couple of shots I took on Saturday..




                  And I was playing around with doing macro shots today..

                              Hey Wolfgang,

                              They look like some great shots, but the purpose of this thread is to show full versions (or at least BIG versions)..do your pics justice and post bigger ones.

                                They were fine when I posted them last night???

                                After many atempts have cracked it and deleted the original post.

                                The photos kept on being scaled down to the small size even though I made them 2.5 times bigger then uploaded to photobucket after deleting the old ones.

                                The images are a good size on photobucket but not on the forum. I have followed the uploading images post. Is there something I am doing wrong?
